Let's discuss: COS, Collection of Style

[reedobandito]



Wish they had the wool double rider from last year, regret not picking that one up

That was a thing?!



So I'm about to put in an order and am looking for sizing advice. 5'11", ~38" chest, ~17.5" shoulders, 32" waist at hips, usually wear small or medium. Looking at a "relaxed fit" sweatshirt, possibly a knit sweater, those black elasticated trousers and a deep u neck tee. Looking for a slim fit, what do you guys advise?

I'm less an expert with COS than other here but I have the black waistband trousers. They fit me pretty much spot on in a 46. I wear 29 in APC, Dior and Rick, 30 in Levis. It's very comfortable.

I have multiple knits/sweatshirts and they are all in S and fit me quite good (I'm a slim 46). However, some are made to fit oversized, so if you don't like it, size down.

I only had one COS shirt I bought off ebay in S and I didn't like the fit as it was too big or at least not slim enough for my tastes, Tees fit spot on in S tho.

Spoiler: Elastic waistband trousers fit

i think im slightly bigger than you but not much, black elasticated trousers are awesome and fit me perfect in 48, although i like them 'slim not skinny'- you could probably get a 46 if you are desperate to size down . the tops seem to vary in sizing, but generally i'm a medium. those textured knit sweaters are very nice, particularly the green.

The wool coat with the tech layer looks really nice but i wish COS would be a little more adventurous with the shape on some of the mens stuff (especially outwear). Women's coats have dropped shoulders, oversized silhouettes, 3/4 sleeves, kimono sleeves, interesting collar shapes etc. I know it's a given that the men's will always be a little more middle of the road but it feels like it's the same cuts each season. That new melange wool blazer isn't bad though - stitching and hidden buttons are a nice touch.

Anyway, here's some new stuff i do quite like:



padded overshirt in technical fabric



wool mix trousers



wool mix lined parka



wool flannel top with raw cut edges



flannel shirt with hidden placket

i wish some of these had dropped when that 20% code was available.

Not bad if it fits your style.

I have totally lost my faith in COS basics. Both deep u-neck tees and knits were not good. Returning rate is like 95 %, nothing seems to fit me well anymore. Small is too small and medium usually looks too long.

OC is doing a COS pop up shop. Not sure if it's men's and women's. Starts Friday, will get the lowdown soon and will be there early to check it out.

[kindofyoung]

Looking for outerwear and it looks pretty cool

OK need some finalized sizing advice before I place an order in a day or two with rirawan. 5'11", 38 chest, want a slim fit:

1. How to size deep round neck/U-neck tee shirts? S or M? Don't want them too slim out of the box since I will likely shrink them in wash

2. Sizing the Colorblock geometric sweatshirt in a Small, since it says relaxed fit. Good?

3. Elasticated Panel Trousers in 48, still slim through the thigh/ankle? Won't be too wide on a 32-32.5" waist?

4. Grey cotton flannel shirt? Slim or regular? Thinking a 38 for it, or should I go 37?
