it all depends on your wardrobe and how you intend to wear it, but you cant go wrong with both julius and mid collar intarsia, it all comes down on fit

cloak quality was never their selling point and I don't mean it in the pedantic way, i.e., stitch quality and such. i never found the leather itself particularly good.

Sorry, brainfart. Meant to say Obscur. I have black lowcut lanvins, I have GAT's aswell. Nudie's are slim jims, bunch of colours, then a few regular alfs for my john varv boots.

intarsia can be dressed down more easily, due to ribbed cuffs

moto collars look good on guys with no necks, not if you have a pencil neck...mid collar is very versatile, cant go wrong
