Nice pick-up shore, I always look at them when I'm at co-op. Definitely a lot of bang for the buck.

Nom de Guerre classic fit jeans. I got the size 30. They jump from size 30 to size 32. The size 32 would be way too large. The size 30 are slightly small in the waist and upper thighs, but a good fit otherwise. I am hoping that they stretch out just a pinch. Maybe an inch in the waist. and another in the thighs.

Also received my Engineered Garments Herringbone bedford and a olive green thermal by Nom de Guerre. Waiting on my Bblessing hoodie. Then, I must stop buying.

Er, I like it? It fits perfectly at the shoulders and chest, slightly baggy through the torso. Good for layering. Good quality as always.

What about the arms? I'm 5'11", 160lbs or so, and the arms seem just a bit too long and slightly too wide (even when I layered them with a sweater and hoodie). I'm considering getting it altered, but I don't want to throw off the profile of the coat.. EDIT- size M EDIT2- my recent spending spree (which has ruined me): EG Bedford (from Drinkwater's) Nom D Blue Crewneck Sweater (from Brigade) Kicking Mule 1950s in rinse (from Revolve, but they haven't arrived yet)

Both items I've looked at getting, but can't exactly afford. How is the sweater? And do you really think slimming up the arms and shorting them on the Bedford would alter the profile/silhouette? And How much would that alteration normally cost?

Ain't nobody ask you, slim. Wayne, I dig the shoes - good pickup.

I didn't buy any expensive clothing this summer; saved it all for winter. The sweater is beautiful and a medium fits me perfectly (slim but not tight). The construction is quite solid as well. I love it, but is it worth the pricetag? Probably not. The issue I have with the bedford this year is that, while the body has definitely been slimmed down, it doesn't seem to me like the arms have. The body is a bit boxy to accomidate layering, but the arms still seem too big... my tailor could probably make the alteration for ~$20 or so, I'm guessing. (I haven't actually checked)

No pics, but somewhat recently I have picked up Nom de Guerre classic fit grey (Stels in Boston, you too LA Guy?), Seize sur Vingt grey striped shirt on sale at Stels (gotta love being an XL), Italian indigo diors, and Neil Barret ankle boots. I just moved to Boston for school and the shopping here is excellent, although the boots were from yoox....
