Le De Bonne Facture Thread

That sherpa jacket and cardigan??. Are they 100% wool?

Also, will you guys be restocking the Pecora Nera sweater? Other online retailers doesn't seem to have the darker color version.

Thought I’d pop in to give some major kudos to the DBF team.

I ordered the Percora Nera sweater. Killer piece but it does fit slim. Was able to work getting the next size up and return my TTS.

KILLER sweater. Can’t wait for cooler weather.

I just received my percora nera in the mail and echo the sentiment. It’s beautiful but too slim. I got an xxl so sizing up isn’t an option.

Did you go L or XL? I'm trying to decide

If you plan on returning it let me know if you’d consider selling ?

Im usually a US 42, EU 52/Large in most things. I tried the large. It was ok. But just a bit snug around the midsection, if you catch my drift. Returned and was able to grab an XL. It fits much better on me.

I’m curious what kind of temperatures the shearling vest would be appropriate for. Any insights @Nicolas DBF or anyone else here with experience wearing something similar?

Dear @maxbayuk Our Shearling vest is ideal as a layering piece for mid-season over a light knit. As for winter, it will keep you warm under a coat or a vest ! This sherpa vest is made out of an exceptional local wool fleece from Arles merino wool breeds, France.

Dear @JayDotz Thank you for your comment. I am glad to inform you that we have taken your request into consideration. We have just added two XXL sizes for our Pecora Nera. Available now on https://debonnefacture.fr/products/crewneck-knit-pecora-nera-wool-undyed-wool

These two knits might be the items to break my De Bonne Facture cherry...



@Nicolas DBF, will all the Montagne Noire items be available on DBF's website, or will Mr. Porter have a few exclusives?

Had the pecora nera sweater delivered yesterday from Cultizm. Shocked how soft it is. Was on the fence between the taupe sold by NMWA / Cultizm and the darker undyed brown on DBFs shop. Don’t think I would have been upset either way.

I went TTS as I’m usually a Small with other knitwear like Inis Meain and happy with the fit. Now I’m just waiting for the weather to get colder.

I was always under the impression that pecora nera on the DBF site and those being sold through retailers like NMWA / MrPorter (https://www.mrporter.com/en-us/mens...lim-fit-wool-boucle-sweater/13452677150680807) are the same color but just described differently and shot under different light. @Nicolas DBF wonder if you could confirm? Are they different colors?

I'm fairly unfamiliar with the brand. Are the belts on the models also from DBF? If so, are they coming back?
