Really bummed about the delays :( I was hoping to get the sweater for holidays but looks like the chances are slim as we’re leaving in less than two weeks. Stay safe!

Indeed - I love IM linen sweaters and wear them year round
I find the rolled edge tunics more difficult to wear in the winter -- at least the older ones where the neckline was lower. Did they raise the neckline on the newer tunics?

I could see that. Mine here is a classic crewneck, not a tunic. And my linen crewnecks are basically used like sweatshirts throughout the year

Sorry... we're really doing our best. We also had to prioritize orders who paid for express shipping

Has anyone had any luck proxying a Kaptain Sunshine Traveler Coat? I can’t find any navy size 40s from any retailers that will ship to the US directly, but I also can’t find the coat on the service I usually use to proxy from Japan (Buyee). Am I SOL unless I find one on the secondary market?

I use WorldShopping for overnight coats from Japan. (KS webstore direct)

Really digging the James Grose aviation jacket - but it seems like there aren't measurements listed under "Size & Fit" - is there a size chart floating around anywhere?

Also, anyone who has it - how thick is the horsehide - and how stiff? Wondering if this is a strictly winter jacket or could be more 3-season...

Size up at least one, maybe 2 from your normal chest size. It's heavy - I would not want to wear it in the spring or summer

beams.co.jp has some travelers but you need to use their own proxy service that should pop up, as buyee does not support beams
