Ten C : The Emperor's New Clothes

Gheebuttersnaps, I definitely appreciate the help! So you went for the Large in the Anorak? How do you think it fit compared to your other clothing in Medium?

Here is what I bought in 40: https://www.fransboonestore.com/col.../ten-c-tempest-anorak-red?variant=92115107850

For me, the 40 without the liner fit well when I wore a medium-sized sweater underneath. If I wore several layers and/or added a liner, I would have sized up to an L. Unexpectedly, the arms are not super wide, especially at the bicep. I don't seem to have issues with arm tightness in any other clothing.

Based on your comments, I would go with a Large because I think outerwear shouldn't be too tight and going M in the M-65 with a liner might be uncomfortable. But maybe order from a store that offers free exchanges if you find one.

Picked up my Parka/Shearling liner (Brown. Non hooded) from 18Montrose, yesterday. I'm a 40 (UK)/50 (IT), but went for the 54 (IT) in both the parka and the shearling.

I tried in the Cyclone in size 54 (IT) as well, which I thought I would prefer of the two, but funnily enough, and due to the straight cut, that felt tight across my shoulders, whereas the parka felt just right. On my initial visit to try them both, I was layered with a:

1. tee shirt
2. thin jumper
3. slightly thicker jumper

I'm still looking for a hooded shearling 54 (IT), which I initially wanted to purchase, but alas none could be found. So if anyone knows where I can pick one up from, or a shearling hood (brown/54 (IT)), please let me know.

I have a black Ten C Parka (original design) with a rip right in front next to the pocket ( that fabric tears just like paper once it starts). Anyone have a suggestion how to fix it in a way that won't be noticeable? I tried a variety of black tapes (duct tape, gaffer's tape, camera tape, etc.) but none of them lasted long when exposed to the snow and rain.

You can try sending it to a reweaver to see what they can do. Usually they work with knits and traditional wovens, such as suit fabrics, but who knows.

I use these guys:

Here's a picture of the snow smock in royal a few years on. Still holding up very well, highly water resistant and it's held its shape well.

If anyone's got a shearling liner/ shearling hood liner / wool hood liner in a 48 or 50 they're willing to part ways with, give me a shout!

So, I just discovered this brand. The clothes are pretty pricey, so I am curious as to what the general impressions of their goods are before I consider them seriously. Basically looking for something to get me through our wet, cold autumns and which can take a bit of abuse from running around forests and playgrounds with my super energetic offspring. Obv must look very cool as well.

This one specifically caught my eye. Might get it if it goes on sale. Any advice on sizing? I tend to be medium in most things, aside from italian and japanese stuff, where I go for L. Also, anybody know if the sleeves can be shortened on coats like these? I always need to take a few inches off everything.

For those who have the liner, did yours come with a big tag attached to the sleeve? Did you remove it (how did you do so without harming the jacket?) or do you just leave it on? I plan on just wearing the liner as a jacket on its own and I'm contemplating removing this tag because it is quite large (4"x1").

 

[cbusguy]

Do you have a picture? I think they’re basically reversible, so you could wear it inside out

I have an old version of the liner and wear it all the time as a jacket. More than my Ten C jackets, tbh. But it's a little thinner and more manageable. I don't know how well the new design works as a standalone piece.

If you're only going to use that as a liner, I would keep it the tag as-is in case you one day sell it. If you think you may use it as a standalone jacket though, I would cut it off.

Oh ****! Ten C is releasing a collab with Sacai on September 19th.

 

[winston86dit]

Damn, that is good.

pm if anyone interested in a pair of size 29 Ten C pants
navy, styled like a jean, made from their standard jacket/coat fabric

Just picked up the Snow Smock in Olive locally that has barely been worn. I tried on the anorak in store and was a 46 but this is sized 52 and fits the same...perhaps mislabelled or is this just a smaller fitting jacket?
