Hmm...Am I missing something...20% off the full price if you're ordering from outside of the VAT zone plus another 20% off for the sale...it's not exactly 40% because the second discount comes after the VAT reduction, but it's damn near close to it and I prefer to round up anyway...

Anybody know how accurate TBS is with their measurements. This is the measurement they gave me for a MED olive down shirt

Armpit to armpit: 50 centimetres
Armpt to cuff: 50 centimetres
Shoulder to shoulder: 43 centimetres
Collar and down: 70 centimetres

SW gave me a pit to pit of 22 inches for their medium.

wait, this is what i hate about heritage wear. do you really think that outdoor brands are really second rate? patagonia, arc'teryx, et al? who the heck do you think wears crescent down works on mountains and all of that?

i could wear engineered garments from head to toe but when the weather gets tough, i would hardly consider any of these brands.

$207 + shipping is not a bad price for the hooded down jacket.

I picked up the burgundy one

Guessing from DQM? Was going to kop, but not sure if i can do the color for outwear as I'm sare it might look femine on me. Plus the measurements on the website is HUGE

SMALL:

Chest - 21
Sleeve Length (Shoulder to cuff) 31 - Gorrila arms?
Body Length 27

Are the sizes CDW makes for companies standard?

Completely guessing - I'll return or sell it if it doesn't fit.

Gotta be pretty insecure about your sexuality if you think a burgundy coat looks feminine

Post impressions when you get it, I'm sure if you sized down one you'll be fine down garments are impossible to measure. I think this will get you hooked on cdw.

There was no option to size down one. I'm generally an L, often an XL in the slimmer brands. I went for L there (other size was S). If it's too big, it will simply go back.
