Received a pair of Heschung Black Panax boots. Great boots and fit. Very pleased. Thank you NMWA
Cheers!

The Casentino cloth is an acquired taste, much like most of the popular items on clothing forum or blogs.

Referring to my tan version of this coat, a young coworker of mine called it "shabby" looking. She quickly added, though, that while it may look shabby, it is somewhat "chic"

+1 to the Casentino cloth being an acquired taste. I think my tan DB one is great as a more casual coat.

It is indeed an acquired taste, I think. I've clearly acquired the taste, as I liked the brown casentino DB I got so much, I also got the navy DB one during the last sale. Just last night though, some lady friends asked me if I was wearing an old/used coat when I wore the brown one. :tounge: I still love it though!

Well the Casentino certainly is a conversation piece, at the very least.

I want the double breast Casentino, just not in a washed wool

I am right with you on that, the washed just makes it look shabby. A non-washed would be on the top of my list if they do them for next year.

How would you say these fit? Any comparisons to other brands? I was looking at the suede wingtip boots but wasn't sure of the sizing.

What? Did you run out of plasma to sell?

FTFY

Baron - Would you mind snapping a fit pic of the shirt jacket?

This. Beem too long since we had a Baron pic.

Great shirts, steve-o.

I am also hoping that Uncle Sam will fund some good stuff coming up soon.

The closest I've had to these boots was a pair from Paul Smith a few years back.They fit really well. I measured the older boots as indicated in the video and matched up the sizing on the Panax boot. They do feel a little different walking on them though but its a different sole and I'll get used to them pretty quickly.

I bought the same Panax boots and found I had to size down a full size. I normally wear a 9D in American shoe brands, and take an 8 or 42 in European brands. With the usual exceptions of course (8.5 in Edward Greens, 8.5 in Chuck Taylors, etc). Also a 9D in MMM low top GATs and CP low top Achilles, if that helps. I bought an 8 in the Panax boots, and found it fit well. There's a little bit of room at the toe though cause the boots run a touch long.

Argh. Purchased the LBM Taupe Casentino coat (single-breasted) during the sale but it turns out it's too big for me... If anyone has the same coat in a size 48 (any colour) that they'd like to trade for a 50, shoot me a pm please!

LBM overcoat. Any other fit pics of them? Would like to see how others sized them.

I normally take a US 11.5 so I measured my old boots as indicated in the NMWA video and they measured out to an 11 US or 10.5 Euro. There is a little room at the toe but not too much. I think if I sized down to 10.5 US, they would be too tight. Fit and finish is great. Its a really nice boot.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

I'm sure it's lovely, it's just that I have so many black coats and jackets I need to go in a different direction.
Thanks. The only thing I can ascertain is that the waist of the Mazz shirts is larger than Inglese, which I believe is 40 1/4" according to Greg.
Yeah, I gathered Inglese shoulder's quite narrow. Of the 2 shirts, which fit do you prefer and why? I have short arms, so would likely have to shorten sleeves for either. Been searching for a decent fitting RTW shirt for a while which is not easy as I have an average, albeit not slim build (suit: 42" chest, 18" shoulder, 39-40" waist), but a slightly larger neck, ideally about 16.5". Which is why the 16.7" neck on Inglese is intriguing, though I wonder if it will be too fitted in waist. Don't feel like going through the process of custom, and I don't need more than a handful of dress shirts. Nice sale prices, but no return policy makes it tricky.

I prefer the Inglese shirt fit, as well as the extra handwork on the shirt. I am 5'9" and ~148 lbs and the 15/38 Inglese (unaltered & washed multiple times) fit me pretty well, though it does get a tad tight after a heavy lunch. The Mazzarelli fit pretty generously in the waist and chest in the same size, longer sleeves which all had to be altered.

IMO the Inglese sleeves fit a lot shorter than similar brands in the same size, such as Kiton, Borrelli or Barba. I think I'm about a 17" shoulder and 24" (shoulder to sleeves).

LBM overcoat. Any other fit pics of them? Would like to see how others sized them.

I'm a 42L (6' 2" 185 lbs) and I went with a 54. For my personal tastes, it fits perfectly (left shirt sleeve got caught in the sleeve and I didn't pull it down):

That looks pretty good. Don't think you want to show cuffs on an overcoat though. It's not a blazer. Lengthen a half inch I think.

Btw where's the shirt from. Decent roll.
