Black Fleece Scotch grain conistons

These have been a mini grail for me from a while ago, but looking at it now something seems off, especially when compared to Epaulet x Carmina

Yep--they are shiny but not as prominent in that photo--I have the black as well--I wear them to work most days and with the rubber sole they are quite comfy to walk around in.
Burgandy is a great colour as it matches with just about everything.

Probably skipping the Epaulet shirt I posted earlier.

Anyway, I'm lookin' at this guy, right here:

700


The W+H jersey blazer I tried on from last season kind of sucked, but I think I heard better things about this one.

The marled jersey one last season fit so tiny. I was shocked

That's the one I tried on, and I thought the material was pretty lame and the cut was horrible. It was cut slim but with low armholes, so if you wore it buttoned you couldn't lift your arms. Returned post-haste with nary a look back.

How's the sizing? Regular CP size or -1? Thanks.

Have this one in my sights. This would be my first Post O'alls royal traveler. Found this one online and can't seem to NOT love it. I could hold off and search for a solid; but this just looks beautiful.

However, it seems fairly limited in what I might wear it with. I know a chambray or white oxford would definitely work. Maybe blue check or gingham... stripes.

Any opinions/ideas style forum?

Thanks!

I went -1 from reg CP sizing but I am usually a 45. TOG has found that CP sizing is more TTS in larger sizes and more oversized in smaller sizes so take my advice with a grain of salt
