1) the camel alpaca grandad coat might be the coat of the season
2) The corduroy teddy and moleskin jackets look stellar
3) very happy to see the continued use of herringbone
4) this old man, thick ribbed cardigan looks just about perfect, how come it’s not mentioned in the descriptions below the look?

The entire collection looks amazing. This cardigan in particular has been on my wish list ever since I spotted it on one of the brand's agents in Japan, Jumpei Semi. So I'm really hopeful it shows up online.

@De Bonne Facture @DBF Gerald

are you taking pre orders on that alpaca grandad coat?

And can anybody give me tips on how to size these blazers?
I’m typically an XL, but have issues with casual blazers because of narrow, sloping shoulders. I’m thinking of sizing down in this to a 50. Bad idea?

Can confirm the Grandad coat is amazing. Easily the most I've spent on a garment so far but my god do I love it so much. My one issue with it is that I'm on the shorter side so the length hits me more around mid-shin than just below the knee – anyone think I should shorten it, or keep it as is?
