How do the FW08 Himalaya vests fit? Just grabbed the one on Yahoo for $50, but I remember that season running tiny to begin with. Wife gets if it doesn't fit me, I guess

Cool, should be a good fit for her, then, thanks


You usually wear a 46 in Geller right? That vest in 44 fits over a Geller jacket in 44 just fine, so I guess it depends on what you wanted to do with it.

I'm surprised to hear that, I'm sure it's bigger than the leather isn't it? Or do you mean, it's too tight over a jacket rather than say, a sweater?
Like I said it layered great for me, but I'm a true 44

I feel it's actually tighter than the leather jacket. I tried the vest over some knitwear and I can only wear it if I hold my breath. The leather jacket fits just perfectly. I may just have a weird body/chest

Has anyone tried on or picked up the random dot shirt from this season and can comment on the sizing? Pictures look TTS but the dimensions I recall seeing makes me think it runs big...thanks in advance

I sized up from a 46 to a 48. Length was too short on the 46. Both would've worked chest wise though, not a huge difference.

Is this what the Tencel bomber is made out of?? haha

The technique draws on the cellulose fibres that make up a tree. Each single fibre is composed of as many as 40 million smaller fibres, or “fibrils”. While these fibrils have been separated from each other before, the KTH researchers and their collaborators in Germany succeeded in doing what no one else has. Fredrik Lundell, one of the researchers, says the team bound these fibrils together into filaments as strong as the original fibre in the tree. The filaments offer a wide range of uses, from manufacturing to clothing.

Yeah, Himalaya Vest works fantastic as a women's piece, much better than one ever looked on me:

Not bad. If I can't sell mine by mid-october I guess I'll just give it to my gf as her birthday gift :D (you got it for 50$, seriously?)
