I do like them a lot but I would have liked them a lot more at that price.

Does anyone own any of the Ervell Standard BD shirts from this fall?

The Ervell website lists them as:
Size Small - Shoulders 16", Chest 19.5", 28.5
Ok, sounds like a good fit for me

However...

Other Stores that stock Ervell (Icarus, etc) list as:
Size Small - shoulders 17.75", chest 21", sleeves 25", length 28.5"
Drastically different aside from length and would be huge on me in the shoulder and chest

I would go with the Icarus store measurement. I bought the XS and it fits spot on for me (37" chest, 17" shoulder)

i never noticed much slippage with my leather soled shoes either, plenty of grip.

that being said, i still dont like wearing them in the snow/rain because they are wet for days afterward, and i dont have many pairs of shoes to rotate. also salt

Yeah that's what I've always thought in the past, but the measurements on the ervell website had me wondering if they'd slimmed it down for this fall.

So far I've found all the measurements on their site to be off

, with the exception of the ones for the fair isle... those are pretty accurate.

Totally different style of boot so it depends what you're going to wear them with - also where are you finding Ricards for 165GBP? Too lazy to look, ebayuk?

I like those, not "gross" at all. Was going to buy that at Barneys but for some reason the 42 felt small when I tried them on and they didn't have a 43 in stock anymore.
