Got the large parka. I certainly prefer the fit vs the medium that my wife is keeping for herself.

That looks so great. I def will have to purchase this coat. Does the cord jacket come with matching trouser? I remember on Ig somebody said it was sold as a suit. I really just want the jacket
Reading the description, it says pair it with the matching trousers. So I assume there will be a separate listing soon for the matching trousers

If it's the same zanieri wool they've used on coats on past seasons, I would describe it as a bit scratchy and spongey yes.

IMO, it's not a big deal unless you're wearing this over a t-shirt or short sleeve, it's not noticeable if you're wearing a button down at minimum.

Agreed, that look is basically why I love tweed.
Agree and that’s sort of how it looks. I hope it drapes nicely.

Looks like the Balmacaans are selling like hot cakes within the first couple hours of being up, good for Rick and for me because the longer my size is in stock the longer it tempts me ?

Sorry, slow reply.
Decently tight to begin with, yes. Wide foot beware.
After breaking in they’re much better. I’m a 10D brannock and took a 10 in these. A 10.5 would have been a bit better width wise but would have been a tad too long.

edit: this is referring to Jumper boots in case anyone is searching through this thread in the future.
I went with a half size up with a 7.5D. I guess we will see how they fit after they arrive monday.

I hope Rick comes out with E width in the future. A lot of us don’t think we are an E width, but actually are, or are on the border of D/E like me. Bunions aren’t fun lmao

Thanks for following up! I see you have a furry friend (in the background). Does the fabric on the coat seem to attract fur? Looking for something that I won't have to lint roll every time I wear it...

Unless they changed the fabric on this years to better repel fur, whenever I took the coat out of the closet the fur from the fur trim would be all over the coat along with animal hair from around the house. With it being navy also, didn’t help because you could see it all ?

I’m crossing my fingers the black pair I ordered fit. Figured it was time to stop buying brown boots.
