Several drops in the MTO section among the VBC fabrics. Some real gems amongst them.

Really glad I ordered the last one during the full canvas promo given how it looks in this pic. I envisioned that it'd look good by the fabric, but not this good.

Think I'm going to add 2 and 3 as well. The green windowpane looks spectacular. I've been looking for a navy windowpane for years now, and this seems to tick all the boxes. I had a single breasted in mind, but seeing this pic of the navy windowpane, I might actually consider having it done as a double breasted for the sake of versatility.

Was considering 4 as well for a short period of time, but I think it looks too similar in shade to the one (5) I've already commissioned. So I think I'm going to pass on it unless someone convinces me otherwise (ping @XxLogo).

Windowpane season but I guess it wasn't for summer as they're all in the final sale section now.

Anyone have any IRL photos of the new quarter-zip sweaters or feedback on quality and fit?

LOVE the color on that sport coat.
One of my favorite jackets, such a good deal when it came out
Yea the baby camelhair isn't that heavy and since it's unlined, you can actually wear it in a pretty wide temperature range. I'm surprised how the color changes under different lighting. Ive toyed with the idea of buying camel or lovat moleskin pants to make a suit of sorts

It's "shiny" in comparison to moleskin, never mind matching the colors...I tend to go major color difference like a darker navy/brown/green/grey. I tried with my cream flannels, but it just was too close and looked off.

The reviews were accurate on how beefy this thing is. I really like the weight and warmth. Camel is a medium and green is a small. I think I prefer the relaxed fit of the camel so I’ll be sending the green back. Really the only thing I don’t like is the silly small button. I’ll probably remove it at some point

fwiw, I really like the fit of the small on you. Both look good, I just think the small has a slight edge

Small looks much better on you

Haven't got many photos of it out in the wild, but I snapped 2 when I first got the sweater, and some pictures after it's first wash (cold wash, flat dry).

Overall impression is that I like it and will probably order some other colors.

For reference, I'm about 5'8" and 165 lbs, I wear 40R slim OTR from S&M. This is the large quarter zip.

When I first tried it on, the sweater had a little bit of room but fit decently. After a wash it's definitely gone down in size and is more of a fitted look. It is pretty snug around the torso and very snug around the arms. In terms of quality, the wool is very soft and hasn't shown any signs of pilling. Compared to some other merino wool sweaters I have, I can't really tell the difference, but I paid about the same price elsewhere so no complaints there.
