Can't wait to get mine this Wednesday! Will probably wear with the belt mostly hanging off in the back...like a open coat.

Also, if anyone wants to pickup the chocolate brown Crosshair loafer in size UK7 or the Unlined Drop Crosshair loafer in 43, lmk! Planning on returning to Coachman Clothier as Bryce said there's a 42 in my size!

I think that Arjak looks terrible on you guys. I'll take it off your hands. Please. Pretty please?

If the Arjak gets a second incarnation in a future season, I'd like it with a larger size option. I am a 42, but was worried about insufficient slouch.

Even though it's marked M, it's cut bigger so there's definitely enough slouch, even for a 44 I'd say.

It won't but it definitely would have fit you.

The supplier took enough hours off your life, eh? I had misgivings because some of the folks wearing them seem to have a 3ish inch gap in the front...perhaps I am waiting for the double breasted Arjak

3" gap can defiantly be eliminated for me. There's enough room but I prefer that look.

Guys, anyone that haves the navy Aran belted cardigan have measures? Trying to decide between s or m, but not really sure about the size. I'm worried about the large of the cardigan, Eidos pieces are usually too large for me

Ajrak cardi is here. Quality and material are unreal.

It's not really a piece that can be measured easily given its open and belted style. I'm a jacket size 42, and while I'm generally a large in various sportswear, in Eidos knitwear (which I also find big), I'm a M. I took a M in the Aran for a fitted look in the shoulders and chest, so the fronts don't really stay overlapped. I could have done large, but it would have looked slouchier than I wanted. If you're a 40, the M may be in the range and work for you as well, with a bit of slouch. If you're a 38, I'd say take the S.

Alternatively, order two sizes then return the one that doesn't work. It's worth the return shipping to make sure you get the size you want, assuming it's not cost prohibitive.

Agree with teddieriley here. For reference, below is a picture of me wearing the cardigan (posted last October). It's a size M, stretched a little bit. I'm size M / 40R in most Eidos clothing, including Lupos and sweaters, a little smaller than teddieriley, so I do get some overlap (which I want). Whatever size you decide is best, just make sure you get the Thompson Cardigan - it is a lot of fun to wear :)
