Cut to the same pattern. Actual fit will ways vary slightly from fabric to fabric, factory to factory. season to season.

I've covered this several times in the past. There is always going to be variation. If it's a little loose, take it in. If it's a little tight, let it out. The most important is the fit in the shoulder.

Wondering why the Zanieri single-breasted coats got final sale status that quickly. I guess they don't sell? Pretty interested in ordering and trying the houndstooth but the final sale made me cautious.

Ahhh, because winter is almost over and there trying to clear out the remaining winter stock?

I have both a charcoal and the brown houndstootch coats. At the sale price that coat is an absolute steal.

hows sizing for you? I have last years polo coat same size as my sportcoat and it fits just nice with little room to spare even just with a shirt and sweater.

Both are 40 (same as suit size) fots over a jacket although a touch snug, not sure I'd want to size up though.

I'm interested in the polo coat but it doesn't get too cold in San Francisco/bay area...
Like the camel over coat as well but I already have a camel duffle coat and tan houndstooth balmacaan
Also I wear a 36r slim in S&M sport coat not sure how the contemporary will fit if I don't plan on layering a jacket underneath.

The sale is tempting me though. Would of prefer the burgundy herringbone but its out in my size.
Someone convince me on the teal lol

I think the pattern is too adventurous for most. So whatever is left, they gotta go!

I would pickup the teal in a heartbeat if they still had my size. In fact they haven't had it for a while now and trust me I've been regularly checking for 'returns'.

If it's calling to you buy it before you regret it. At worst you can still return it but at this price it's a no-brainer even if you don't get extensive use out of this season. The texture and color of the fabric just pops.
