Yes, one should take the same size as the cotton shirts - the popovers are cut more comfortably and looser everywhere for two reasons : (1) that's the style, and (2) you've got to be able to pull it over your head and shoulders so a trim waist doesn't make sense for popovers.

I'm asking b/c the Inglese (which I've not worn) looks to be a full inch + slimmer than the Mazzarelli (which I have worn) in the same size. The 38 Mazzarelli is good on me w/ a 41.7 chest - not sure the 39 Inglese (w/ a 40.6 chest) would work. Are you saying the pop is looser to the extent I'll be OK, or would I go up to a 39?

Inglese linen in 39 is closer to 41.5" chest. The popover would be closer to 42.5" chest and less taper to the waist.

The grey pedaled tee with hand warmers looks like a great top for outdoor running (if I ever run)

I remember seeing the black frog jacket at the trunk show (with the hidden compartment for backpacks) and was quite impressed Again, if I ever workout/bike it would actually be useful for me.

If I lived in a colder environment I would be buying a ton of jackets/outerwear from NMWA. Some incredible cold weather stuff.

Actually, NMWA needs some coats for truly cold weather. Those LBM coats aren't too warm below -20 Celsius because they aren't fully lined. They're still great though. I've worn my LBM more often than my other winter coats this past season. I'm wearing it today because it's still very much below the freezing point here.

We need stylish clothes for heat waves and cold snaps.

Yeah, the down filled parkas weren't enough?

I feel like there may have been another choice or two no longer on the site ...

I will say that I've worn Alva Wool Mac DB quite a lot. It is warm (when the temperature dips <20) especially layered over sweaters, and the throat latch and stand-up collar, comes in quite handy.

 

[hanbei23]

meant to say...say 20 degree F not, Celsius.

agreed, at -20C, you need parkas...

wasn't there a valstar heavy wool fur-hooded parka so something.

 

[Asian Afro]

OK, haven't tried Esemplare. Thought someone said that it's not THAT warm, so I never gave it a shot. I'll wait for FW14.

 

[Asian Afro]

Not necessarily. I wound up layering a lot this winter: shirt + wool sweater + fully lined wool coat + wool scarf is usually enough. If the temperature looked dire, I'd wear a light grey base layer under my shirt.

Agreed. I just got a camel hair polo, and it is definitely warm enough for temps this cold. But I would think the cable knit-lined parka would be too. YMMV though, different people feel cold at different temps.

Yes, people used to cold tend not to feel it as much. I find that the easiest way to look stylish in deep freeze is to go full MC. With a light suit (10 oz. fabric) and a medium weight topcoat I can easily handle -20C weather. The whole coat-and-tie look is layered to begin with and the tie requires the shirt to be buttoned to the top, trapping more warmth. (The tie itself also acts as a light scarf.) Add a scarf, a fully lined wool topcoat, lined leather gloves and a pair of leather boots (lined or unlined) and one is pretty well prepared for any winter in the city.

If the dress code at work weren't so casual I'd probably just wear heavier suits and top coats in deep winter. Since it is very casual, I guess I'll look at Esemplare.

This is my usual strategy, although I usually need heavy suit and the polo coat. Btw what was that SC you were wearing on Sunday? Looked like a barleycorn or something. Really nice.
