still toying with getting a tweed vest but unsure on sizing. Has anyone got one to confirm whether they're as small as End suggests? I'm a 52 in everything I've bought from NC but can't see a vest of 21" p-2-p being large enough.

As mentioned before, I'm a 50 in all my Cabourn pieces, except the mallory and vest. I'm a 52 in those. YMMV though.

Yeah, I'm puzzled by dope-factory. I have no info, but I wonder if it's the "online outlet" of a big agency/showroom that I know of in Milan. Sizes are very limited, so I wonder if they are all samples. Anyway, I invite you to get that hunting jacket before I do! LAST_CHANCE still applies 30% off to the stuff they just added (even more puzzling for them to put up 4 Haversack pieces... straight at 50% off).


Does dope-factory discount VAT?

I have 2 harris tweed Mallory jacket and vest and they are all the same size in 48.


As mentioned before, I'm a 50 in all my Cabourn pieces, except the mallory and vest.  I'm a 52 in those.  YMMV though.


Cheers - I might try a 54. I keep looking at the Hospital vest on End. I'm pretty sure it's the Fox Bros Tweed rather than Harris. If it was the same Harris as the DB coat I'd have jumped at it.

Dope Factory has the hospital vest as Harris Tweed (actually Herris, lol), but make sure you get the sizing right since end claims it as a 'regular' fit.

My size 48 Cameraman will be delivered this week. After reading all the posts in this thread, I am pretty sure that it will be slightly on the small side for me. If this is the case, I just wanted to give a heads up that I will be either selling it or looking to trade for a larger size.

Feel free to send a pm if you have any interest.

Cheers.

* Harris Tweed DB Coat - First wear - basically happy with the fit, should be even better as the tweed softens in
** Inverallan 'Light' NOS - light compared to normal Inverallan's but it's as thick as the Submariner knit my wife bought me for my birthday...

Ushowu just got a bunch of new items. Although, quite pricey. Interestingly two different Viberg boots (minus the grease this time).

Does dope-factory discount VAT?


I have never dealt with them, but I believe it was RandomKoreanDude who asked them and was told no, however they were willing to give additional 10% (meet halfway I guess). His post (earlier in this thread) mentioned email correspondence with Dope-F and 40% off the sale price (30% with code, plus another 10% as a no-vat compromise). I know there's still a code for 30% off that's active, it's either posted on this forum or on fashionstealer.

edit: LOL, I just read the quote in your post.
