Interesting, thanks! How high do you wear your gurkhas - just below the belly button, or lower?

You got it, I wear them just below the belly button on my natural waist. I love the clean line that’s created with that. I don’t mind the baggy look if I decide to wear them lower though.

So what did you guys grab this morning? I'm really excited about all of these.

First ever stuff from Wythe, the black bedford cord 5 pockets and the washed blue sweatshirt:

As @unbelragazzo mentioned, these Jamieson's are amazing value at $124 and look at those colours!

Last but not least, really excited about my second Valstarino, this beige padded beauty!

Anyone able to comment on how the boat builder fits compared to the tunic?

Need a pair of cords. Was thinking more traditional and Rota at first. The KS cords are speaking to me now...The waist on the 34 seems pretty small. I’m usually between a 33 and 34 inch waist.

Did you guys size up?

The washed Rota are also excellent for a more casual vibe

If anyone missed out on the KS Travelers Coat in greyplaid, I just received my preorder in size 42 and mis-sized sadly. Willing to part ways at cost if anyone is having regrets on missing out. Let me know via PM. Hope posting is ok, Greg, but I know you are all sold out so I wouldn't cannibalize shop sales.

What's the sizing on the S&C cashmere cable knit like? Is it stretchy and a fairly straight fit? I'm not sure if the M or L makes more sense. The M has a chest size (I'm 39" chest, and usually go for a 42-43" P2P for knitwear that is designed to fit neither loose nor tight) that would work well for me, but it seems a lot shorter than the L. I'm 5'10" with about as average a build as you could imagine. Most of my knitwear is at least 26" BOC, and rarely beyond 27.5". Any ideas? @gdl203 or anyone else?

FWIW I love the fit of 42" william lockie lambswool sweaters and 44" in their chirnside cashmere.

Most (including Greg) recommend sizing down on S&C cardigan. FWIW, I’m a 42/52 in tailoring (42 chest) and take medium in S&C cardigans...

Looks like the question was actually about the cashmere cable knit...
