Just got the blue one delivered last week. I've been searching for a go-to Oxford for awhile, and all the ones I have tried have been OK, but never hitting every point. My favorites so far have been an MTM one from Kamakura, JPRESS, and a NOAH one I snagged at a sample sale.

Wythe one is very good overall in my opinion. I sized up to a 16 due to wonky measurements, and wanting to be able to machine wash. Glad I did, because the shoulder measurements seem slim. Material is lighter than the JPRESS one I have, and much, much softer. It's as described as far as already feeling like it's broken-in. So this will be personal preference if that is something you like, or you want something stiffer like the JPRESS to slowly break-in yourself. Collar has a nice roll, but nothing exaggerated, stitching is clean overall, unlined collar, locker loop, and a box pleat.

I'm happy with it, I usually wear a 15.5 in shirting (Size 40/US/50IT suit), and sizing up to the 16 in this gave me the fit I wanted. Not fully classic/boxy like a Mercer or old Brooks, but not slim like the NOAH I have, or something from a Jcrew. The fabric is super soft which is what I wanted, and the look is very classic. I'll probably pick up the stripped one at some point.

Thanks for the detailed post. I hadn’t focused on the shoulder width. Seems weird relative to the chest dimension. Glad you like it but don’t think it would work for my build

For sure! It really only works because I wear it in such a relaxed way. It wouldn't fit the way I like if I wore it under a sports jacket or anything. But I wouldn't wear a shirt with a pocket under a sports jacket, so I guess it's a moot point haha

Does anyone have a Moleskin Pearlsnap in Desert Rock (size. M) they are looking to offload?

P.S. - This season's flannels are great. I have 3 of them, fit is perfect and the washed-out fabric is so nice on the skin. Bravo.

Had a chance to try on the Wythe raglan coat at a local popup. First time handling anything from the brand.

I really liked the coat. Really nice shape and the fit was pretty good in my typical letter size. Good length and drape. The cloth was a little lighter than expected, but not a big deal.

One suggestion would be to be mindful of the sleeve length when purchasing.

I assume you mean that the sleeves run a bit long? Can those overcoats be tailored to pull back the sleeves?

The opposite: I felt the sleeves were running a little short. It may have been the specific coats I tried on at the popup though.

In my typical size, I often need to have the sleeves shortened on outerwear. I did not here. In fact, I thought the sleeves were a little short relative to where the sleeves on outerwear should fall.

If you see the coats on-line, check the sleeve measurements.

If anyone happened to get the raglan coat in an XXL and can provide some feedback on fit, it would be much appreciated. There are no measurements on the site for an XXL. Or if anyone bought an XXL and is considering a return, I would be interested.

*edit: In the herringbone with the standard collar.
