I stumbled across that first RO a few weeks ago and have been in love ever since. I'm kinda fortunate its not my size because I would be in an endless battle with myself trying to justify spending the cash on it. For now I'll just fantasize it.

I say go with the first or both.

As for the photo, tiny is an understatement!

Get the first RO 187. I never like the styling of the second piece (although I don't like the way I see much of RO styled).

Allsaints are a british brand, i personally like their clothes alot, however they are often quite flimsy and un durable. The tops are slim fitting, i personally find them to fit very well.

To back up steezin's point, I've bought 2 allsaints garments, a jacket and a shirt.

Both have fell apart on me with infrequent wear over a few months; buttons falling off, stitching coming loose, the whole shebang.

I absolutely would not recommend them for the price they charge.

If it was Top Man price, then yes.

Actually it was more of an equivocation... no snowsports outerwear is really waterproof. However, the term "waterproof" has a secondary meaning (albeit a misleading one) denoting a scale of waterproofness measured in mm. 5000mm waterproof is not very waterproof. 20,000mm waterproof is very waterproof. 30,000mm is extremely waterproof. Etc.

I really like the style, but I'm not sure how it looks on top of outerwear. It ships from, I think, Sweden so returning it could be expensive. Any opinions?

What size are you in trovata shirts and what is your height & weight?

I am 5 ft 7, 165 with a 42 inch chest and 31 inch waist.

Will a M fit me?

I should have mentioned, I'm worried about it being too long as I'm only 5 ft 7. Is the shirt cropped or kind of long in the body?
