Sizing question:

If I am a 38R, what size should I order for the polo coats? Will be layering over sport jacket.

Size one size up to wear over suiting; so 40R.

Also factor that it is 100% Merino Wool, not coarse lambswool. You can wear a tshirt under and be comfortable. No scratchiness. Also machine washable. Double collar and placket. We couldn't find anything comparable.

This is basically why I held back on buying the Kent Wang ones. A giant, thick cardigan that isn't scratchy and is reasonably priced is exactly what I need.

Not cheap to produce. Sweaters are mostly priced by fiber/weight. Not a light item by dozen. Curious what yarn size/ends you ended up with.

Peacoat: Oatmeal Donegal, Navy, charcoal herringbone

Polo Coat: Brown Herringbone Donegal, Chocolate Donegal, Green Herringbone.

Duffle Coat: Navy

Long Parka (Same as last year) we increased the fill to 320 grams. Navy and Dark Gray

Short Parka - Like an N2B style, but wool shell. Navy and Dark Gray

Padded Vest. Navy and Dark Gray.

Balmacaan: Charcoal Herringbone Donegal. Updated fit and belted. Armhole and sleeve is larger. Rest is same.

Of course or standard SB and DB wool/Cashmere overcoats.

Suede is not confirmed yet. Still working out pricing. But should be $598 USD.

Oh geez I'm going to end up buying a few of these.

For the DB overcoats, what colors are you running? Any chance you're bringing back the green?

No. It's not cheap. But neither is 100% merino wool. It's almost a KG in weight. If you're looking for cheaper, you can go with lambswool. Or cut it with Cotton or a synthetic. But we wanted 100% Merino. Our goal is to be the best value. Not to be the cheapest.

I was backing up the point/value with you that you are not using cheap yarn and the weight of each unit is substantial. Merino treated for home laundry feels very nice, is easy to take care of but comes at a premium. There is not another like it out there like this one. Looking forward to seeing the color range. Will you be using neps plus melange? I also paused on picking up the KW style many times.

I was just reiterating to anyone else reading the justification for the price.

These are melange yarn. But not with neps or a donegal look.

The KW are very nice and are also a great value. The difference being the traditional lambswool is a bit coarse.

Be forewarned, these merino ones are very comfortable. Your SO will probably try to steal it.

Just camel and navy. With the market as is we wanted to keep these staples neutral. That green was so amazing though.

Oh man, you had me at machine washable

Thanks, good to know. Great work on all this outerwear, if you can share any early pictures of that padded vest that would be awesome. I need something like this.

If anyone has a size 42 in the green DB coat from last year and wants to sell it... drop me a note!

I don't know when I'm daydreaming about the upcoming FW outerwear, knowing very well that I would probably only leave the house once a week for grocery runs. Damn you, Spier ?

@spiermackay is there any casual shirts coming this FW, Rick, or out of budget?
