The Hitchcock (Chelsea Boots) are at a crazy markdown. Anyone with feedback on how the run size-wise? Thanks.

Was researching the same, had a few meetings at work and all of a sudden they’re sold out in my size(s) in all colours. So that was a bummer.

Picked myself up a pair of Clifford in the Khaki roughout. Was surprised at the price, and even more they were available in a large size. Was tempted by the 36oz madder, but I just won't get the wear out of it

Got these as well. Been wanting a pair with the dainite sole for while and couldn't resist the price. Did you go up half a size?

Anyone here can help me offering some sizing advice for the olive quilted nylon vest? Should I order true to size?

No, just went normal UK 12,

I have the navy casentino one and it fits true to size. If you’re unsure I would lean towards sizing up as it doesn’t have sleeves so even if it’s a bit on the larger side it won’t be that noticeable. Too small would be more noticeable.

Ah ok. I heard Clifford's run slightly small. Drake's recommends sizing up a 1/2 size on the website.

Did they offer you any replacement pieces? I’m not sure whether you can reinstall a used snap button, but I can tel you that installing such a button is easy, with many tailors having the necessary tool(s).

Thanks for your answer. I just contacted Drake's and asked for replacement buttons in case it is necessary.

Let's see if they will send them though.

Best,

Nacho

Up at 12, you usually don’t have the luxury of an additional 1/2 size up 😂

I’m sure they’ll be fine

I see a few Rocky Mountain down vests in the sale, but am discombobulated by the recommendation to size up two sizes!
I take a 36 in their sartorial jackets. Do i really need a 40 ?

Yes, you do. They fit very small and the chest measurement doesn’t account for its thickness and puffiness.

Does anyone have the link to either the lookbook or the 'diary' feature where the 'Ecru Centre Stripe Wool Knitted Rugby Shirt' is modelled? i seem to recall it looking great on someone in some situation, but cannot bring it to mind and would like to refer to it before pulling the trigger on it. Thank you.

Archive Sale is up. I don't know if I should pull the trigger on a chalk stripe flannel suit. For a little bit extra I can have a full canvas jacket with surgeon cuffs from a Model 3 from The Armoury.

Those prices ain't it. Didn't these archive sales used to go 50-70% off?
