I took a 50, which is normally about my size. I think it will loosen up. Further, I’m about ten pounds heavier than my normal weight.

I take a 50 in the bomber version and am a bit smaller then you I believe. But it looks damn good I’d say.
The Clint is definitely meant to be worn unzipped IMO. So if your okay with it now, the suede will break in a bit.
Id guess you’ll get a lot more use out of that then you will the big KS coats you bought this/last year.

That Clint is a smart ass piece that I think can work with a lot of your existing clothes.

I thought the fit looked good, and if you are likely to get back to your normal weight that will surely make a difference. It's just the best colour too.

I got that Valstar "Clint" as well and have to say that it's awesome. Mine was a little bit tight when I first got it but I've worn it a lot in the short time I've had it and it has indeed loosened up a bit. @Newcomer - I think yours looks pretty good on you size-wise (though I agree with dieworkwear that it looks best with the collar popped).

Thanks for the input, guys. In my opinion, this jacket looks better if it fits closer - I saw a couple "oversized" fits and I didn't think that the jacket draped very well. Further, I don't intend to wear anything other than a t-shirt or thin, thin sweater or shirt with it.

This weekend, I'll snap some pictures of it and my other kops.

Yeah, I will pretty much only wear it unzipped (although I did try it on zipped with a turtleneck and it was pretty cool in a 70s way). You are normally a 50 in Eidos, right? In my memory serves me, I think you are right - we are similar, but you are a tad smaller/thinner.

Funny enough, that darn KS Traveler Coat is probably my most worn item this year. Probably worn it 15-20 times this season.

Where are all the sales kop posts? Things have died down but I know you all are still eyeing stuff. What's on your radar?

I uh.... I went for it.

Naissance boa coat: I had too much fun trying this on, so when my size came back I had to go for it. The fit pictures from @mmmargeologist may have tipped me over, as well.

ts(s) wool track suit: to wear while eating gabagool.

Kaptain sunshine cashmere crewneck: the last thing I need is another green sweater but this so thoroughly blew me away when we were opening up boxes that I jumped on it when my size came back as a return. Wearing it today and I couldn't be happier.

Inis Meain black watch cap: I can't not get one of these every other year. My oldest one has been retired to yardwork duty so I treated myself to a new one.

YESSSS! That’s my most fun piece. Funny enough, your pics in it with the green cord suit tipped me. I love styleforum feedback loops

Valstar Clint was a one-off (not in the FW19 collection). I'm trying hard to get it back in store. Also one of my favorite Valstar pieces in a while. Maybe a show of hands of who missed it and would pre-order one would give me ammo in the negotiation (the best, most beautiful negotiation)

Any chance you will be stocking more Vibergs in the coming year? I bought the one pair you have and have been convinced one will not be enough although which one is tough to choose. Maybe one in shell if we can get some interest?

kyle, what size did you take in the KS sweater? no measurements are on the site and only 40s are left. i'm generally a larger than you so wanted to see if the 40 would work.
