Here's an old fit from last winter with my flannel version (also the old buckle back suit pants).

If you want one of the long sleeve button cuff shirts check Yoox and Far Fetch. There's a few on sale now. Yoox says the grey one is 100% silk which I've never seen before, I have a feeling that's a mistake (I've seen 1% silk and 20% silk versions).


Can't seem to find that long grey shirt you're referring to on yoox. I love the one pocket over shirt available on the Lemaire website

Here are some fit pics of the one pleated pants that I got tailored.

These are the SS16 85% cotton / 15% linen in midnight.

Recap in case someone just read this:
- Typically size 48-50. Bought size 48. Too big in waist, unflattering top block, weird break at the hem.
- Took in the waist to wear them higher on the hips. Hemmed to the ankle with a ~1.5"/4 cm cuff.

I wear them with an Uniqlo x Lemaire shirt and all white 70's Cons.

I have this piece in a 50. It's really nice as an overshirt and it's a wool material with I think it's something like 3% silk. The color is beautiful, a green/ olive color with grey flecks throughout.


I have reservations only because I don't think the wide drop shoulder seams will be particular nice. I've never been keen on drop shoulder unless it's very discrete or central to drape. I know thr shirt must drape really well for you considering its material composition.

Any word on when the proper Lemaire FW16 will be available online (Lemaire store)? I've requested an email notification on when thr item comes "back in stock" considering everything still seems sold.

Usually a week or two until things become available on the webstore, thats how its been for the last couple of seasons at least, they go up early as a sort of preview I suppose. Though im not sure if everything will go up at the same time or if it will be staggered releases.

So TTS in Maxi coat is definitely a bad move?

6'2", 185lbs, usually a US 40–41 long in tailored jackets. Would a size 50 be a mistake (that a tailor couldn't fix)?

Too big, need a 48. Or use it as a nice blanket

Maxi coat is gigantic but it has semi-raglan sleeves so it's easy to just make the sleeves shorter and wear it drop-shoulder

Sizing down one will still give you a nice oversized fit
