If there’s someone at the archive sale today and sees the blue summer Dan blazer from this or some of the wide fit trousers in 50 (preferably linen or wool in grey/taupe) could you proxy ? Thx a lot

I have a suede card holder and two suede belts. Really nice, and they develop a nice color after some use.

Hi everyone, does anyone know how the B&B shirt sizes compare to Kamakura Tokyo fit? Thanks in advance!

Eyeing the brushed cotton trousers. Anyone has any experience of owning them? Also 2 of the models say that they are machine washable but the Antonio isn't. Must be a typo right?

Any experience how warm the Nisse raglan coat with its 560g wool fabric is? Is it still comfortable at -5/-10 degrees (Celsius)?

Have a previous iteration. If you layer properly underneath, -5 is okay. To me -10 feels significantly colder, and I wouldn't spend prolonged time outside with it. In and out of the car, to and from office is of course okay. But a lot of walking and standing still might be too cold. Depends on what you're wearing underneath, of course.

Thank you for your help. I pulled the trigger and I am very happy with the coat, it's really fun to wear!

I even took it in size 50 although I am usually a 48, but the very friendly customer service recommended to size up as I have a sport coat in 48 which is almost too tight around the shoulders.

Does anyone know if the full cut high rise jeans currently on sale are usually fairly forgiving in the thighs? Tends to be where it’s too tight for me with other jeans

I wear a size 50 in their Antonio fit and find their size 34 jean pretty comfortable in the thigh, not sure if that helps. (I have last year's jean model which was made in Stockholm.)

Thighs are fine - the seat was tight IMO for a high-rise cut, but stretched out.

How much room is there to let out in the trouser seats? I'm one of the bigger guys even before the squats. Trying to get a sense of Alfonso vs Antonio (leery of forward pleats pulling out hip breadth).

Not a lot. My tailor was able to get 1.5cm or so out of the seat.

Damn. Feels like I'm gonna have to roll the dice on whichever model fits. Not the biggest fan of double pleats :/

Did anyone get the shooting jacket and can maybe share some photos?
I might be considering it as a coat specifically to be worn over tailoring during my commute, since it looks to be roomy (and raglan) and also just long enough to cover a jacket, but short enough to not get in the way when driving. Plus I've realized I really don't need a smart overcoat for my commute, since I'll mostly wear it in the car alone. It just needs to protect the jacket well and make sure I don't freeze during the walk to/from the car.
It does look expensive for what it is though, I'd probably never buy it at full price.

Some fun offerings in the Archive sale. Even though the B&B silhouette is suboptimal for my frame, I 100% would have snagged the navy linen suit if they had pants to go along with the jacket. Grabbed the flyfront linen shirt with double cuffs. Have been dithering over incorporating a few formal design shirts in linen into my closet...and they forced my hand.
