Chunky cardigan fit pic, because why not. Size is medium.

Sorry for the quality, had to zoom in


For reference, I wear 40 contemporary (with the standard drop 6 trousers), and 34 sleeves.

This is perfect and very re-assuring, thank you.
So glad I went for the medium, I also take 40R contemporary (or slim) in SC.

this looks like a perfect fit- how tall are you? Also, is this the moss green?

I’m starting to be concerned about the sleeve length on the small I ordered..,

It only applies to already discounted items.

I also have similar specs. I all of my S&M sport coats are 38R Contemporary. I would suggest you try contemporary.

We might be built differently, but those are appr. my specs as well, and I take 40R. Would definitely, under no circumstances, be able to fit into 38. I could take 42 as well, but prefer the silhoutte of 40. Just my 2 cents...

FWIW, I should add that I trained in gym for appr. 13 years, so I have a large drop which you seem to have as well. Not active now as the slightest lifting would push me over towards a size 42, but I've kept much of the muscular foundation in the upper body.

How contemplative going to 40R as well. I'm assuming the most I have to gain is a bit more drape. What are your major issues with 38?

To tight overall and to short.

It seems this was released last year as well? Curious if there is any photos of it out there and how it compares to the SS Angelico Navy Hopsack
Not sure, tbh. But it looks like the perfect bright shade of navy. I have several navy (hopsack) jackets. But they're all dark/midnight. This one would definitely fill a void in the navy department in my wardrobe.

Yes, this is the moss green. Pants are the dark brown moleskin. The colors are muddled a bit due to very soft indoor lighting and zooming.

I'm 5'9" (175 cm), but my torso is quite a bit longer than my legs. If my legs were the same length as my torso I'd be 6' ?

Last years version had the patch breast pocket, it's a heavier hopsack - a really nice fabric.

I think that one is available in the MTO section. But it's described simply as navy. So I suppose it's darker.

EDIT: forget it. It was a plain fabric and not hopsack.
