Of course I couldn’t resist the Fox jacket. But I also picked up the brown shawl cardigan and three of the knit polos. Those polos could become a fav for around the house if they fit well. Looking forward to other people’s thoughts on them if they get theirs first.

I have 2. This is the herringbone in size
40:

This is the camel in size 38:

for reference, I'm 5’10.5”, 155-160, and wear a 38R Contemporary Spier jacket. I feel like both fit, though the herringbone feels like it has more room for movement with a jacket underneath. That said, I’ve hesitated to size up on the camel because of the pliability of the fabric- since it’s not as stiff as the herringbone, I’d be concerned the markers of a jacket that’s too big (divots in the shoulder specifically) would be more pronounced.

Also, @MacGuffen: not the brown one, but still both coats you referenced

Thanks for sharing. I think you've settled the case for me now, and I'll buy my regular SC 42R.

Based on your photos, I think it's certainly the more flattering of the fits.

I think they both look fantastic on you. Thanks so much for the pics and stats, that makes it much easier for me to choose size! ?

I echo this. True sportcoat size for wool/cashmere DB, size up for Zanieri cloth because it's thicker

It was always showing as 498 usd for me - that's the price I paid when I purchased it about 12 hours ago.
That is weird. It showed 598 for me. And it was usd and not cad, cause the brown houndstooth was 448.

Enjoy it, mate! I've seen a couple of pics of it in the wild now, and the green looks rather muted.

Very happy you picked up the shawl cardigan ? what size did you go for?

Considering our top halves are almost identical (based on how our SC's fit) I can't wait to see how the cardigan fits on you. ??
