I have a cotton/cashmere piece on the way. I'll give the review when I get it.

I agree. I thought I was only going to get one piece (box rib cardi) this season but after the first purchase I went and bought three other items. I love them all very much and hopefully they keep up this level of quality/construction/fit for the upcoming seasons.

Outsole is about 12.5" on the size 8 boots, but the sole sticks out considerably from the front of the boot. I sent you a pm. I suspect your shoe size is a whole size smaller than mine since you say you can fit into JP size 8 and I wear JP 9. I have tried a JP size 8.5 and while I could get my foot into it, it hurt something terrible. Also, the size 8 W+H boots feel slightly big on me. I suspect 7.5 would be a better fit for myself even. Considering all this, I feel you probably need at least the size 7.

Yeah, I talked to some more guys and I believe 7 will be better.

+1 to these.

I originally was only after the henley and box-rib cardigan. Ended up passing on the henley, but got the cardigan, two-tone hoodie, and cash-cotton jersey. And I'm hoping to find the diamond knit henley somewhere...

How you like the cash-cotton jersey?

I'm contemplating getting the l/s crewneck in cash-cotton

I took a large in the fleece hoodie and the box rib cardi, so I'd assume a large. I'm about 6'1 190lb

this probably isn't news to anyone, but i picked up that box knit cardigan (which was my first wings+horns purchase) and was really surprised by the quality. granted, i've been getting into brands with better construction/materials slowly since i've gotten here, but after purchasing this, it becomes obvious why you pay more for this.

i'm used to cardigans being thin and losing shape, but this wings and horns one is incredible. the materials are great, and i'm just incredibly impressed with it.

Love it.

Fabric is great, I ended up sizing down on it compared to what I wore in the hoodie and the cardigan, because the fabric seemed like it would stretch a fair bit, and the large was really long I found (and I'm over 6'). Its streched out enough that it fits really nicely, it doesn't have a true shoulder seam on it, so I was able to wear the medium, whereas in the hoodie and cardi, I needed the L for the shoulders.

Try Stel's in Boston. They have a pretty good selection of W+H in store, not online. But they're priced higher.

How are people actually fitting into these things with the posted shoulder measurements? I don't even have broad shoulders and I'd need to go to an XL on the box cardigan just to get something close to what I usually take in that department. The chest of the large sounds right, but the shoulders would make that likely really uncomfortable.

 

[justtemple]

^ignore the shoulder measurements. by the numbers i shouldnt have been able to fit in anything that I've picked up but they've all been spot on.

you'll want to size up one (large?) on the box rib.

 

[wagthesam]

Yeah the shoulders is ridiculous measurement wise. Its better when you try it on.
