I hope I guessed right going with XL for the Molloy overshirt. I would have gone with L except for, "Model is 5'11" with a 30” waist and is wearing a size L." I went up to XL given that I am 6-1 with a 36" waist.

The Osman in XXL was WAY too big on me. The opposite of fat guy in a little coat. I think I need to go by the measurements table and ignore the written sizing advice.

Out of curiosity, do you happen to know the ptp on the XXL Osman?

were measurements posted for this? I was advised to take my normal alpha size and it fits great. Not much bigger than how I’d want a classic sport coat to fit. I generally just follow the take your size or size up rec using XS as a baseline and it seems to work out how the brand thinks it should fit on me.
I get the impression that the models have sized up more than this so if you want to look like the model you would do the same.

Yes, measurements are posted. As I mentioned, I was thrown off by the size they put on the model. I would have ordered L going strictly by measurements.

3 left - 1xl in blue, 1 l and 1xl in green. Best to size down.

Also - we had some extra fabric for the bal so we reordered a single size run and they showed up yesterday. If you missed it, here’s your shot. They’ll be going back online as soon as I get to the studio (9:30 or 10ish). Allllso, we sampled a few models in leftover donegal for next winter and the came in the same box....man.

Bal coat looks great, just dont think I'd get enough chances to wear it in LA

I got it and was able to wear it for one day so far, and even that was a stretch ?. Still love it. I remember it being much colder and wetter last year in LA.
