Nice! Tweed dotera is still probably the only previous season item that I really feel like I missed out on.

Yeah i love this and it was great today (temperatures of 10 degrees C)... there is a silk collar version on YJP knocking about. but it's definitely a lovely piece.

Yeah, but there are so many fakes of it that I'm too nervous to buy one from a rando on the internetz.

This is how the new kerchiefs look when tts

Don't know if you are the dude in the fit pic but I have gone bac

Personally I think the TTS works better on me as it's supposed to be a bit oversized, but if you're trying to emulate the old kerchiefs than you'll probably need to size down at least 1.

Got a new style TTS and one sized down, this is correct. Posted a while back wearing a new style black Kerchief, sized down.

Bored while waiting for the Turkey to roast. Here’s a relatively rare item. 3L Six-Five Fishtail. Has a poly lining on the inside.

Is this product the same size as the existing product?

When was the transition from the old style to the new style Kerchief?
I got a Kofu from the April 2020 release, and can't figure out if this is an old style or new style (it has the cotton inner liner, and based on my own measurements the shoulder width is narrower than the 2021 version).
I would say it is TTS, however the down fill is much 'puffier' than I had expected which makes the fit look bigger.

My measurements on an April 2020 Kofu:
SIZE 4 : Length 32, Shoulder 18.5 , Sleeve 27 , Chest 46 (inch)
For reference, the November 2021 Kofu measurements from the website:
SIZE 4 : Length 32.9 , Shoulder 24 , Sleeve 25.6 , Chest 51.2 (inch)

I think the first iteration of the new pattern was during the 2020 "Find Your Happiness" drop which I think was in June of 2020? There's a good chance that your Kofu is the old pattern. I think most of the new patterns also use the new rayon lining.

measurements suggest older version. i.e. narrower but longer in the arms etc

Is the Iris jacket particularly warm? it has some sort of fill, right? Thinking about getting either an Iris or a Roadster swing but it never gets below 60 degrees here in Los Angeles. I own a dotera and I wear it like twice a year (and it’s still overkill).

I wouldn't say it has fill but it has a lining which i would say is perfect for LA weather...if particularly cold you could wear under a shell jkt or over a hoodie and be fine. I wore mine today in circa 45-50 degrees... over an flannel shirt and was fine

Did anyone grab anything from Black Friday Release?

I got the ICT Brigadier Boots in a 12 and the Running Free Pins. Everything this year was great!

Is the version with wool lining significantly warmer?
