Woke up this morning and need Margiela side-zips BAD. I'm a 45 in CP Achilles, 11 Cons (w/ insert), 10.5 Paul Smith. Will 45 work for me? I know this is technically a "small question," but don't venture out into the morass. Thanks.


i wear the same size in CPs and MMM side zips (40) though it's arguable I need to size up in both to my gap size (41) for maximal comfort. Definitely not uncomfortable though.
(this may not apply to your situation because of the tapering effect etc)

dd silent farmers jacket @30% off?


if these marsupialed forearm slits, along with the unnatural fabric folds they create, don't bother you then get it because it's otherwise a nice piece

Thanks for your help. I think I've got it figured out now.

^ Cardigan looks good. Does that say Topman on the tag?

I was wearing the SNS today. Thick knit, very different and much warmer than the Stark knit. Very fitted. I really like it. Much chunkier than the Ervell and very different texture - Ervell is soft and will pill hair pretty fast. SNS is robust and rough. They give a very different impression

How should I size that SNS knit? I am about 6.1 and 155 lbs. Should I go for M or S?

Both will fit, depends on you want fitted or with some room, and your shoulder.
M maybe a safer choice consider your height.

^^ If you're concerned about length, don't be - arms and body are quite long

Ervell pocket in charcoal

looks like it is on the short side
or
SNS



anyone have experience with either?
I have the one from SNS Herning. Actually wearing right now even.
I highly recommend it. It is a true slim fit and has pretty long body and arms. It will shape to your body in a magnificent way.
I'm usually in between M or L since I'm tall but slim and I bought it in size L. Was a bit tight over the chest at first but has now stretched out to be the best fitting piece of clothing I have.
I absolutely love it and wear it pretty much every day.
Buy it.
