Hello everyone, one of my good friends opened a clothing store last October, called "Les Stockistes" (only Made in France brands, such as De Bonne Facture, Le Minor, Heschung...). Here are some pictures made for this winter season, I thought you might enjoy seeing De Bonne Facture in action in our beautiful city of Toulouse, France.

If you want to see more pictures, here is the IG profile of the store: https://www.instagram.com/les_stockistes?igsh=eXA4ODYwdTI1ZXU1

They also have an Eshop called Les Traits Français, shipping worldwide.

I'm not the shop owner nor do I work there, I am just a big clothing enthousiast and I love his project and I think it deserves more light !

I wasn't quite sure about it when I bought it last winter, but I've been getting a lot of wear out of the Casual Jacket this season. It's easy to just throw on over a knit and denim to make the outfit a bit smarter to go out to dinner or drinks. The colors are also quite festive (it's more vibrant IRL) and nice for the holiday season.

I have the Granddad Coat, Parisian Raglan Coat, and the Casual Jacket. Very small interior pockets on all of them, I find. I can really only fit a small card case. Very cool that you're so responsive to customer feedback.
How does the Parisian raglan fit? Is a size 50 like a regular large, 48 a medium and so on?

I found it REALLY oversized. I’m typically a 52/XL but went with a 48 and it still has plenty of room
I would also say that it is labelled about 2 sizes too big.

Whilst I'm at it, a little moaning about the sizes in general:
DBF seems to be generally a bit inconsistent with their sizes in my experience. My standard size in DBF used to be L, sometimes even XL would work. Now everything goes from S (parisian raglan) to M (mock neck) to L (camp collar shirt). My TTS is M.
In addition, 48 is translated on the website as L instead of M and other sizing charts are completely missing (e.g. Crew Neck). All this makes online shopping a bit frustrating, especially if you want to avoid returns.

I think a little more consistency would be helpful (a 50 which is intended to be tighter and 50 which is is intended to bei oversized should both fit the same person, just with different silhouettes).

Sorry for complaining. Apart from that, DBF has been one of my favourite mens wear shops for years - if not my favourite.

I've had my eye on this. Did you go TTS on it?

This is real nice. I see Nordstrom has it but is this going to be available from your online store as well?

I've been drooling over the Knit Shirt from the L’Altitude capsule since it came out. I didn't see it at any US retailers and didn't want to risk it selling out. As usual, DBF defied the laws of physics and had it to me on the East coast in three days. I actually ordered late at night on Monday the 6th and it arrived Thurs so it's more like two days door to door.

Such a lovely piece, well made and versatile. Works just as well over a tee or over a button down.
