it's settled, you need to be on the slim side to wear these. anyone else and they are too tight.

looks good ^


Not true. My size 42 6A fits me perfectly and I'm 6'0 and 190lbs. Best knit ever.

Measurements? Is that a hoody under your 6A?

Interesting that you sized down. Now, not sure what do. I was going to order 40 for my 38" chest.


Personally I think the look is too short and cropped, but maybe that's just subjective. I have a 38" chest and own the 3A in a 40" and it's a nice slim fit but not cropped. I'll get pics someday. Size up one from chest was my experience.

I'm 5" shorter than he is, so length is not really an issue for me. From what I am reading in the thread, it seems that most people size up one size from their chest size.

I received my oatmeal 6A in size 42 the other day, and the fit is great. It fits just like my 1A in 40, confirming my thought that cardis fit a size smaller.

Thinking of getting a 6A. I'm 5'8", 130lbs. 14.5 32 in shirt size, not sure about chest size. I'm hesitating between 36 and 38. From reading the thread, it seems like I should be going for 38? Just want to confirm...

We're about the same size, if you want the fit that I got then go with the 36(pics in this thread). If you want something slouchier get the 38.

I've been out of the Inverallan/Strathay loop for some time now, I have two 6As, Sky Blue and grey but I'm thinking about offloading them and going for something like a 3A, how does one go about ordering? Thanks
