Yo Reedo, kopped that same shirt for my GF. Really beautiful piece (she said she felt like she should just hang it on her wall) but the arm holes are weird as ****, ended up looking pretty awkward worn. Ended up having to sell it cuz the fit was just weird :confused:

don't let the colorway stop you it's sick, do let the zipper stop you but they all have it unless you custom order

Sleeves do look pretty conceptual, but my gf can wear just about anything so I've got faith in her lol. Do they like come up from the bottom but not the top or something?

You can see it comes out from that fold in the fabric, so when worn the fabric beneath just kinda get stuffed under the arm.. idk

Yea I unno why Schneider chose to configure it like that, maybe to give it a more modern edge? I mean she'll almost always be wearing something over it (like a long drapey cardi like she always does) and I imagine it'll not be too big of an issue. Glad to know it's a beautiful piece tho

The Archival x CDW one with wool knit collar is so sick. I would be all over it if I hadn't just bought the Cabourn canadian vest

Wore my CDW today--Italian vest tho so zip AND buttons :slayer:
Mike, I know Bob Corkgrips is selling a sz small CDW, is that too big for you?


yeah, i'd imagine small would be too big. judging by the measurements they run big as ****. i'm looking at an xxs and the p2p is 19.

actually, ****, that may be too small to wear over blazers, i may just need an xs.

same seller also has an electric blue one and a purple/khaki one.

Are measurements taken outside or inside of the garment? It's a puffer so outside measurements will appear too big.

outside, i'd imagine, but cdw is known to fit particularly big.

I just sized down 1 for my CDW vest. More than that and I could not layer a big sweater

My CDW italian vest is size M, and I'm a 42 chest--I can wear it over a normal sweater/sweatshirt but it's trim; I could never do the #menswear over jacket thing with it.
