I got my DB in the other day and went with my regular size of a 48 and can barely get a think sweater under it. I should have ordered the 50, but was afraid the shoulders would be too big. The jacket it very nice, but I think the distressed looked on the brown makes it look very cheap and kills the look for me. If only they made a version that was solid and not distressed. My wife who usually like the things I buy immediately said that it had to go back, since it looks so old and worn. It is too bad, since the weight would work well with a sweater for the very short cold period we get in the south. Any chance a a different version of the material coming along in the future gdl203? Also any chance of the Butteros coming in a size 39? I would love to get the white calf version.

Also, we're always happy to take anything back for exchanges etc... but I strongly caution Newcomer against taking some of the sizing advice dispensed here too literally. Guys please keep in mind that he is wearing only a shirt here - some people are talking about wearing this coat over one or two more layers. For example, absolutely do not shorten these sleeves if you're ever going to wear it over a jacket. Nothing goofier than showing jacket cuff under an overcoat sleeve

Mr K - that's the look of the coat. We take a lot of pictures to make sure users see what the products look like. A lot of effort goes into those as well as pretty involved descriptions of the items.

There's no other Casentino coats coming this season. We will get a few 39 sized Buttero in the spring.

I think I've been pretty vocal about sizing up on the LBM coats - I think that's the right advice for these particular pieces. (Also for Esemplare)

I think I've been pretty vocal about sizing up on the LBM coats but then again, I feel that is wasted time.

Your pics are good, just they did not show the extent of the look I found when I opened mine up. I got the dark brown and it has parts that are faded to a dingy tan color. It was just a bit too much for my tastes. If I am spending that much I just want to be aged by me and not out of the package. I think it will date it too much. It is almost liking so many people buying those pre-distressed jeans and thinking they look good. I look forward to getting the Butteros in the spring. Any other DB overcoats coming that might be a good alternative? Thanks.

It makes sense for someone who has this to say:

to purchase an overcoat described thus:

Washed and garment-dyed, the material takes on a vintage finish for a great weathered look.

Weather finished is one thing, but when it looks like bleach was poured on spots that is another. We all have our own ideas of what is and is not tolerable.

Raincoat looks fabulous.

We recognize they are not for everyone. Believe it or not, our order is actually dialed down on the weathering.

Will keep you posted on other DB when we have some.

This sounds so cool, you can tell from some of the pics if you enlarge them all that there are some rough faded portions. For me it's perfect because it takes a formal coat and makes it casual since a db coat will never look like that after a hundred wears along with the fact I would never purchase a wall street type coat unelss, well, I worked on wall.
