Can someone advise on Thuya sizing? I'm 42.5 on Vass F last, 9.5 US in most Aldens, etc. Do I go 8.5 on this one?

I'd say 8.5 based on this.

So, rather like me. Plenty of room in the chest and across the back? Was that a 36 you had on?

Yup, I was wearing a 36 and plenty of room across the chest and back.

@conceptual 4est @gdl203

What size would you recommend in the Fujito knits for me? 5'8", 160 lbs, M in most brands except L in Japanese sized brands. Trying to figure out if I'm a 2 or 3. I'm leaning 3.

Which one - the crewneck sweater or the knit polo? Just want to double-check them but my gut says 3 for now.

@conceptual 4est Both actually I'm usually one size larger than you across brands.

Still debating that mixed tweeds thing. What's the sizing like? I had to go to an XL for the two-button Deutschleder jacket, though L looks like it'd work from the measurements?

What's your haul? You've picked up some nice things over the past months : )

Surprisingly, this is my first NMWA purchase since the beginning of November :shocked:

However, in light of a "new client bonus" (nothing like a TRO and PI/TI in another state (which was filed on the Friday before Christmas and ruined the last two weeks of my life)), I kind of went buck wild (and my order is kind of insane):

SWD level now passing 70%

Any Bumfreezer is better than no Bumfreezer, but if you were picking one: Navy Hopsack or Green Herringbone?

I like the green w/ shearling more than the navy, but for an everyday jacket I'm thinking a solid color might work better.

It's a tough one and I don't think you can go wrong with either. I had the same option last year and I went for the green herringbone. I don't regret it a single bit. The herringbone definitely gives it some added character as well. If I had to choose now, I would be more torn between the burgundy color vs the green herringbone. I just tried looking for some pics of mine and haven't had the best luck but here are two that kinda show what the color looks like in different lighting conditions (one being pretty blurry from a friend's instagram):

What are folks' general thoughts on lighter colored knit hats? I've always tended toward darker colors--dark green, navy/blue, medium grey, black--but lately the thought of a toned white/pale color seems appealing for a bit more contrast against darker coats. I've noticed Greg sporting what appears to be a very light grey hat recently and @FrankCowperwood has been wearing an off-white one the past couple seasons I think. Specifically I was thinking about something like this IM "Sabbia" light beige knit http://www.nomanwalksalone.com/inde...classic-ribbed-fisherman-merino-wool-hat.html

Seems like it might provide a nice contrast to a navy, brown, or army green jacket underneath. How much does hair color/ skin tone come into play? (medium complected/ whole lotta grey in my case). Thinking of changing it up a little.

Btw, these hats are great in case anyone's wondering (I currently have 3, angling for more)--well-constructed, warm, nice comfy fit, good-looking.

Should have copped the shearling my dude.

Gritting my teeth, but so far only Merz Schwanen cotton hemp T:

and BBJ Rayon Indigo stole. Don't think I've ever owned anything made of rayon before (not a lining).

I grabbed that BBJ scarf earlier in the season; surprisingly substantial, feels great, rich indigo color. Considering the rain one now.

i really like this hat and was one of the items i was debating. i think you're spot on it would go with basically any color you'd want to wear it with. some may care about how complexion affects the wearing of certain colors but generally i think that's a personal choice and i do not abide by it. (DWW had an interesting write up on his blog a while back on this).

if you're a bit unsure about the white, maybe the Bordeaux?

Hey Kyle, do the KS Gurkha trousers fit like the herringbone aplaca trousers you wore in the rooftop photos, in terms of silhouette and taper?

Following up on this - do the Gurkha trousers fit fairly slim like the herringbone alpaca or are they on the wide side? How wide is the ankle on a 36?

Size 3. I just tried on a 2 in both of them and they're spot on for me.

They're both really baggy. Both TTS in the waist with big legs, big leg openings, slightly cropped inseam. The herringbone ones look less baggy because of the sharp center crease, though.
