What are you wearing today??

[Papperskatt]

I like that jacket. It looks very 20s with the high buttoning and long skirt. :nod:

 

[Two Types]

Splendid jacket. The high button stance really makes it.

Thanks Gents. Influences from here and there (mixed 'eras' that is) but not reproduction as such (something I am not looking to do).

 

[Claudio]

btw the breast pocket was originally much more diagonal but makers were too lazy to match the check (much harder to do with a diagonal breast pocket) so they straightened it about a bit

Claudio. the look is fantastic!

I like that jacket. It seems several Italian designers have been experimenting with details like high button stances for some time now. I think there is a wider resurgence of large peak lapels as well.
Here's a couple of outfits from the last few days. the jacket in the first image is new and Italian made.

Metatron - great outfits. Any details on the Fair Isle (it's beautiful)?

Thank you. It is by British brand Joules. They carry the same style now but in a different colour combination.

What's the sizing like on those Metatron, what does L etc equate to?

 

[Metatron]

Hello Simon. :yo:

Esteban, their chart says L is a 41-43 chest. I have a 41 chest, but chose to go with a medium. Generally with generic sizing I find you want to be on the larger side of the margin.
The medium measures 20.5 inches from pit to pit. you'd think it's too small for me, but it is stretchy, and you don't want any excess fabric with this kind of garment.

 

[esteban68]

Cheers I'm a 42".....hmmm!

 

[lordwinters]

Could I just ask, how long are these, thigh length as most modern knits or is it more "vintage" in length?

Today, I am wearing a new belt I got. It is made by Brighton. This belt does not have a ridiculously large buckle.

Funny how most modern companies get it all wrong. Jumpers and sweater vests usually are too long and shawl collar cardigans way too short. :/
