It's the project of Antonio and Manuel Magalhaes, 4th generation of a family of fabric makers in northern Portugal. They turn the high quality fabrics into simply designed shirts. We really liked them, their shirts and enthusiasm for the fabrics. Shirts are very good value in out opinion. Some of the fabrics are ideal as overshirts, others as nice comfy shirts.

I'm just curious...If you are not familiar with the sizing of certain brands/items (e.g. Eidos fieldcoat), do you guys just buy whatever size(s) you think would fit and hoping something would stick and/or then return the items altogether if it doesn't?

I know NMWA return policy is very customer friendly but at the same in an effort to save them some shipping cost and the hassle of return/restocking, I try to figure out my size ahead of time by asking questions, pm's, emails etc.. But by the time I figure out my size (or suggested sizing) the item is OOS in my size. It can be very frustrating...

I recently returned an S&C cardigan and Greg has been very accommodating/helpful during purchase and return process. While I appreciate NMWA's all world customer service, I do feel guilty if I have to do this several times while trying to figure out my size on certain items that I want to purchase. Should I be banned from this thread immediately?

I feel better now :).....Thanks

Looks cool, I can always use more casual shirts. Nice research ha (link was dead the first time I clicked for some reason).
Looks something like this
or this or maybe this
(found the photos via PF's journal, linking to this article)
I wear mostly casual (not sure why I buy all the dress stuff I do, other than I'm a hobbyist/collector :embar:) Cool looking stuff for the wannabe weekend hipster, CM edition.

That's because it's not a correct statement. We see the stats and the only sizes that lag are the really large ones (XL, 56...) - btw I remember being heckled by some of the big guys here for not catering to their needs... well our selves are full of the XL sizes at the end of the season.

Otherwise, there's no rhyme or reason as to which sizes sell fast or not between smalls, mediums and larges. For some stuff the S flies of the shelves, for others we hear complaints from the 40-42 crowd, same goes with shoes. You may think that your size (whatever it is) sells faster than others, but it's just not true across the board.
Sorry, I hope you took my comment as my joking, and not as criticism!

Who nabbed the 46 eidos coat? :-(


wow these are going FAST


I learned that the Field Jacket was online five minutes after the fact from this thread, and it was already gone in my size (50). Oh well, there's always next season. I'm thinking (hoping) that this jacket is a mainstay in the Eidos F/W lineup.

I did - but it also gave me the opportunity to address this more general question as we very often get emails or calls asking why we don't buy more X in size Y since they're clearly the more popular... with X and Y being completely different for every person asking. So, not even knowing which size you're referring to, I felt it was good to give some factual answer to this question.

We actually had two units in 50R. Some people are just faster

Also, are you sure you're a 50?
