So yeah, soft and warm wool-mix, well-placed pockets, nice tech-layer and a nice cut makes me happy with my purchase.
Note, if you're a larger 46 you should probably get the sz 46, I'm a "true 46" wearing two sweatshirts layered in this pic and there's still plenty room to layer (something positive for me since I will have to layer with another knit once it gets colder).
Vest looks pretty good on it's own too, as does the coat (duh)

Didn't really look that much at their knits, but everything I saw looked just as good as it does online, so I think you'd be pretty safe going by the close-ups online

Just received my COS order! A short review of each piece, w/ sizing details:

-Geometric Panel Sweatshirt: Took a Small as a slim 48, and it fits slim but not tight (except maybe a bit in the forearms), lengths are good. Really nice colors and the fabric is lighter weight but warm. Cool Star Trek vibes

-Cotton Flannel Shirt: Took a 38, and it runs very slim but TTS, similar to a Schneider IV in a regular cut. Fabric is really nice, very surprised it's not wool. Collar is nice and stiff, placket doesn't twist or anything. Length is perfect to wear untucked.

-2 U neck tees: Got both in Small, and they fit slim TTS. The white fits me especially well, the grey is slightly tight/short (I think they're from different seasons). Fabric on both is very soft.

-Elasticated Waist Trousers: Took a 48, I am a true 31-32 waist at around the hips. Really nice feeling/slightly sheeny cotton fabric, with the elastic waist almost unnoticeable. Fit is good in the waist, but a bit loose in the thigh and in the calf, but with a sudden taper of around 6.75" at the hem.

Only thing I won't be keeping is the trousers, since I'm looking for more of a slim/skinny fit, but anyone looking for more of a slim/office appropriate pair should check them out. PM me if you wanna buy them from me before I post in B&S, I'm just asking exactly what I paid incl. shipping (~$125). Hope this helps someone!

I got a pair of these last week and they're quite nice. For me, the a size 46 was too large on me (usually a 30-31). I'm going to see if a tailor can add some hooks for a belt because I like the trousers.

I had my tailor take in the elastic bit on each side, rally tightening the trousers up. Feel really nice now. I think you would be hrd pressed to get a fabric match for loops.

Thanks, and yep it's removable so should work well as a layering piece for when it gets warmer again

How thick is the coat?

I recently got an LLBean parka for days when weather is 10F or below, but I may return that and get the COS coat instead.
