Just wanna say the scarves are so fooking nice. Strongest season imho.

Wow it looks great. When I look at the measures on the website it seems so oversized (compared to my other suits). Looks tight and nice on you. May I ask how tall you are?

Thanks! I'm wearing a size 50 here (I'm 5'11"), this is not tight at all, I think the camera angle makes it look more fitted than it is. I can easily fit a DBF Pecora Nera sweater, or a thicker Inis Meáin knit underneath here. I got a little over 23 inches p2p.

Damn, Deborah don't miss! FW2022 looking great.

Especially liked these. The new overcoat style is like a more refined Kaptain Sunshine Traveler coat and the Overshirts are in amazing /. unique fabrics.

That navy overcoat looks like ??

I think you nailed it, refined traveler. Can't wait to see more pics of it.

Nice interview with Deborah on Blamo. She is such a sweet person. A brief discussion of Styleforum as well.

Seeing some comments both here and NMWA, most folks sized up one for the Pecora Nera sweater from this season?

I think most sized up. a few went TTS and still liked the fit.

I know I sized up, and loved the fit. It is pretty stretchy though, so I probably could have kept the TTS piece and let it stretch out a bit with wear.

I sized up 1 and love it. The people who went TTS also look great. Can go either way.

I am on the shorter side for my chest size - 5'8" with a 40" chest - so as much as I would have liked to size up for a more roomy chest the L would have been too long in the body for me.

Question for anyone who might know...cordoroy easy pants on the DBF site list measurements at 18.7 waist and 8.9 leg opening for size 50, while NMWA has a pair listed at 17.3 and 7.7. I wouldn't think there would be two different cuts and assume one of the measurements is off? I can see the waist being variable since they are elasticated, but the leg opening makes me wonder.

Was curious about that as well. Waist measurements are probably hard because the fabric is so thick and it's elasticized. I will say, though, that the fit on the DBF model does not look like a leg opening of 8.9". That's much wider.

DBF above and below today - Pecora Nera brown sweater and tweed double pleated trousers.

With Castañer "winter" shearling-lined espadrilles for maximum coziness...

Anyone with familiarity of the balloon pants that can speak to sizing? I'm normally a 32 waist and it seems, looking at measurements, the balloon pants are at a little over 16" for a 46. Which, if correct, would be perfect for me, if the rise was around 11.5-12". The 48 seems a bit big, with almost a 17" measured waist.

size down, i'm between 48(32) and 50(34) and 48 was too big

I just measured a pair of 50 here and got 21.5 cm (8.4")

 

[1969]

Well, I have pairs on the way from you and DBF after hearing from DBF that there's just one make and that the measurements should be the same.
