@NoManHQ— will you guys be posting measurements on today’s arrivals soon?

they said yes in the ig live.

 

[jtorres94]

Going out for drinks with the wife tonight and usually when that happens I buy stuff I don’t need. We’ll see if I end up the black Clint or more Camoshita.

My online friends want me to buy the black Clint.

FTFY

Not the clint but I just put in my pre order on the moon tweed valstar, love the colors on this and a much more reasonable purchase, especially when you have a closet full of coats/jackets and live in Dallas.

Black chelseas for me today - same. The best part about the black clint will be the magic of randomly seeing one in the wild, both knowing we almost didnt get it. The head nod in that scenario alone is worth the cost of acquisition.

I can't wait to do this. Please don't let me down!!

 

[conceptual 4est]

Also, in other housekeeping, measurements for today's drops are now up.

I've gotta wrap up Norwegian Rain pre-orders as well, so if you haven't put yours in please get it to me by EOD today so I can compile them for the team over there.

NORWEGIAN RAIN PRE-ORDERS​

At long last, we're happy to put up our Norwegian Rain pre-orders, and this is a special one because they have opened up their fabric archives just for us. What this means is an abundance of choices, with some of them extremely limited. Because of this, there is a video where Greg flips through the swatches, and you can see the face of the swatch at the top, and then the name on the white sticker once he flips it over.

We're of course offering everyone's favorite Moscow, Bumfreezer (also a NMWA exclusive now) and Single Breasted, but I'm going to start with two new styles.

If you want to get right to it, all of the pre-orders are here but I will walk through them below and in the next few posts.

The first is called the Nesta Falck, and is a really cool design that is a lot more casual than what we typically see from them. It's got these great patch pockets on the front and has a fixed hood that actually rolls up into the collar when you want to put it away. Overall, just a nice casual design that isn't too long or too short. Weight-wise it's comparable to the single breasted, and does not have the quilted arctic lining.

For sizing reference, in these photographs I'm wearing a size M and I am typically a US Small, although I wear an M in the Single Breasted and Bumfreezer.

Seen here on Greg (still size M, which is a size small for him) in their new camo hopsack.

The next new style is really, really special. I'm calling it a proof of concept gone right but I think that's doing them a disservice as a lot of thought and design went into it, but the best way I can describe it is as a waterproof leather Bumfreezer. It's called the Aviator Hybrid and is made up in a specially bonded leather from their partnership with ECCO. It has a very unique, almost waxy hand to it but it lends itself really well to that Bumfreezer design, and looks perfect with the shearling collar. This one is warm like the Bumfreezer too, with the wool fiber fill lining and removable hood and everything.

When Greg told me about this one I wasn't sure what to think, but as soon as I saw it in the showroom and then tried it on I realized they had come up with something very cool even if my expression in these photos belies that.

Seen here on me in a size M, which is what I wear in the Bumfreezer and what I would want in this.

It's also offered in a black version of this leather, but I don't have photos of it so we will have to use our imagination.

Pre-order here.

Now we can move onto the classics.

First off is the Moscow, the monster of a coat that has gotten me through a lot of those miserable days where the temperature is in the teens but you still have to be out and about. I think we all have a Moscow story like that, and this thread is full of pictures of them covered in snow as well. Just a great design that manages to look good with everything and keep you warm while doing it.

Sizing is true to size, and I wear a small in this one.

The other winter-weight coat is the Bumfreezer, which for a few seasons now has been a No Man exclusive. Named so because it cuts off at the waist but is plenty warm above, it's a good looking coat that I think makes great use of the way Norwegian Rains fabrics don't look like technical fabrics. Made up in just about anything, it looks more like a handsome shearling trimmed bomber jacket than something that can hold up to the elements as well as it does.

Sizing is slim and small, and I recommend ordering one larger than your typical US size.

Lastly, we have the coat that started our love for Norwegian Rain - the Single Breasted. Tailored but technical, it's a sharp coat that is incredibly well thought out from top to bottom. This looks just as good with jeans and a sweatshirt as it does over a flannel suit, and we've stocked it and restocked it every season for a reason.

This one fits slim and small, and I recommend ordering one size larger than your typical size for a regular slim fit, but it's also safe to go up two if you plan to wear it over a lot of layers or tailored clothing. Because of the design, it will still look sharp and tailored even sized up two.

Can I get sizing advice on the flint. I’m a 42 or 52 in most sports coats. I definitely can’t do a 40/50.

52

So, I mostly have my preorder selections sorted. Just one last question/survey: the Inglese Japanese denim shirts: better in washed or donegal? I’m sure there’s no consensus but thought I’d ask.

I was under the impression these ran small and sizing up was common/needed. Is that not the case?

The donegal one is exactly the same we dropped today so maybe not necessary to preorder unless you're a size we don't stock

Clint is true to size - Valstarinos are a size small and we recommend going up one those, though. I'd recommend scanning the last few pages of this thread as some posters have put photos of how theirs fit in different sizes so that might help

Just for clarification should I go there, if I am a medium shirt all day(39 chest, 18 shoulders) but for jackets I don't like them snug or short, would you suggest I go 40 with a Clint? I'd want a fit exactly like Newcomer....

I say 48. Clint fits TTS but it's on the roomier side.
