I usually do the knits in 5 as well. So, when I tried on the 7, and it fit (especially in the length - any smaller, and it would have been Ervell cropped jacket territory), I was pretty astounded. And the size 4 sweaters were really only a size small. The jackets, even the size 6's, were insanely small in the arms. I actually asked the SA to help me out of the jacket, to avoid inadvertently hulking it to death. On the other hand, I've tried on size 5 jackets that fit huge on me. The materials are great, as are the details, but it's as though the production patterns are cut by people with severe cataracts.

I actually also got some beige 510s (don't care what people say, **** fits nice) so I tried it on with the boots. Sorry for the bad pics, it's best I could do.

MMM

You're wearing those out in the elements? Have you treated them? How do they hold up? tia

Right. Just picked up the U-lap sweater from Tres Bien Shop (met the owners for the first time just a couple of days ago. They seem really nice.) 35 Eu. Really can't beat that.

I like your boots in the first pic. Pants aren't half bad either.

The 510's boot tuck is a good look. Gonna pick up a pair in dry denim

I recently discovered the same thing. Assumed I was just a 4 in Schneider everything. Turns out, I'm a 4 in shirting, anywhere between a 4 and a 6 in knits, usually a 5 in blazers, 4-5 in outerwear. WTF.

I figure I'm the only person who talks to him outside of this board.

exactly why i stopped ordering SS on the interwebz. 3 strikes and you're out.

I'm a consistent 4 in SS shirts and knits and a 5 in blazers and jackets since it does seem the jackets fit small in the arms and chest.

Pants depends on the cut, if it's a fuller cut then I'm a 4, if it's a slimmer cut, then I'm a 5.

Got this while waiting for my TOJ fishtail.

I know, scott is going to complain that it's sedated and boring
