My Duster in Breen arrived, it's exactly what I was looking for. Wears over as many layers as I can throw at it and looks fit to withstand hurricane level rain. The colour is even better in natural light but the awful lighting in my office will have to do.

The first I've seen in the wild. Really great to see.

You wear it well.

The patina looks great, too, but if you ever wish to remove it and restore the even distribution of the "stay-wax", then steam is your friend.

The Balmacaan has arrived and… damn, it really is beautiful. I think I’ll mostly wear it belted, so thanks for the people that have suggested to add a belt to this SF Bal’ version!

No pictures because well, today’s a day off and I’m still in my pajamas :blush:

I'm 1,78 m and 78 to 80 kg.
It's a L size

May I ask what is your chest measurement? I am same height as you and 74kg, 38 chest and have a Duffle in size M. For the Balmacaan I am considering S, perhaps I should stick with M...

Honnestly ... I don't really know.
I'm not a little chicken ... I'm probably something near 115 cm round (perhaps little more ?). I don't remember of the last measurements ... I juste taken the same sizing than last year :-D

Here are some quick indoor pictures (sorry for the bad color rendering, the coat is the green one). I’m just wearing a long-sleeved polo underneath the Bal and I think it will look perfect with a Shetland sweater, a cardigan or a sports coat underneath during the winter.

Edit: this is a size M, I’m 183cm tall, have quite broad shoulders and weigh about 76kg. I usually take a size 50 in tailoring.
