Not exactly the same but I do have last season's version in the alpaca mix.
Went with the same size as I did the Pecora Nera (L). The stitch of the knit is tighter than that of the pecora and wears a bit more slim at first but loosens comfortably through out the day.
My Large messures: 21.25" chest, 18" shoulder, 26" sleeve, 15.25" hem, 27" back length

Thank you. That's helpful! Did you size up at all (to an L)?

Are people taking the same size in the overshirts as last F/W? I noticed a lining was now added and I'm seeing measurements on some retailers' websites that look a bit smaller than last year.

I went with the same size. It’s a little slimmer, but significantly heavier. I can still wear a thin sweater under the new one.

Varies between makers. My knitwear is split 50/50 between medium and large, mainly dependent on shoulder measurements of the garment. Could not have gone with a medium comfortably in this case, however.

Hey guys - For those who have a pecora nera sweater...how warm do those get? Assuming not as crazy hot as alpaca?
