Nice. I'm about your size, but a couple inches taller. So the 4 fits looser on you?

Which one is the PUP?

Wearing it open is def the way to go, just posted it buttoned up cause what would be the point in buying a cardi that doesn't button up.

PUP : http://www.styleforum.net/t/251006/...n-the-kitchen-at-parties/3400_50#post_6537879
I took a closer look at my PUP when I wore it out last week. In natural lighting, slight purple pops out in the threads. People won't notice it unless they're right next to you, but I feel better knowing the purple melange actually contains purple.

wool paraffin owns so much. i can't even deal

green coat is awesome too, really beautiful shade. definitely an overcoat, can't see myself wearing it with anything less than a thick knit (minimum) underneath.

cotton trousers and green sweater i got from wrong weather are really nice too. the pants are quite possibly the softest cotton i've ever felt, almost like a wool flannel. sweater is thankfully not short, sits a couple inches below my hips.

oh and for whoever asked if we were gonna see more lookbook photos, the answer is no. pretty sure the way it came out was intentional:

How's sizing on the paraffin jacket? Deciding between the grey sleeves or bright yellow interior.

TTS.

Also it's more of a dark beige than a gray. Interior lining is...oatmeal is the word that comes to mind.

Got the #18/Bee cardigan in. Size 4 fits me pretty slim, but I'm happy with the sizing. Not super fitted, but the shoulder seams hit at the shoulders, and the sleeve length is not too long for me. It's similar to my navy stark in weight.

Also got the green long coat in...not sure how I feel about it as of yet. Size 4 in that fits me oversized/large.


looks nice, but def not for me

Nice, mine arrived today as well and took some pics, but you beat me to them haha. Good comparison on the weight compared to stark, they're similar. My initial impression is really positive, I really like the color and style of this one, especially the collar and fact that it has side pockets, huge bonus. I felt the Ijevan from last season was great, but would have been better with pocket so this BEE cardigan really does it for me all around. When I first saw the pre-order pics, I saw the similarities to the Author Cardigan which has been my grail piece (sup jet!) and having handled them both now, I can confirm that is certainly the case, minus being as massively oversized. The color is as I had suspected, which is the same as the wine melange at mindtrive :slayer:

I ordered a 3 and 4 and have decided to keep the 4. I have similar specs as you. Both fit me, 3 fits more slim than I prefer for a knit of this type. It does have stretch though and weave of the knit lends itself to not being undersized even at my stats though so someone preferring a slimming look would probably like it. So, I will be letting the 3 go once i find some time to get a listing going.
