I got those IH802's that were for sale in SuFu.

Thanks to cowsareforeating helping tomake it happen.

Now just waiting them to arrive, and to find out if there is anybody in Finland with chainstitch machine to get them shortened…

[loghill]

Injunjack, I've heard they have a chainstitch machine in Team Place, but I haven't really checked if it's true (and will they stitch denim).

If you find someone with a chainstitch machine in Finland, let me know.

I will call them…

JC stores also offer hemming, but I doubt they have chainstich machine, I'll have to check.

your call – the only thing that will be making a difference is the p2p fit. personally p2p fit (along with shoulders) are the 2 most important things in making something drape properly.

i would go with the L and get used to the "shortness"; a vintage sweat fit is more fitted (not slim, just fitted) than todays sweatshirts and the like

[stever]

the wrists are the only thing the XL have going for it i think. i too feel weird when my arms stick out of the sleeves…

but i think the sweater would look much better in a more "fitted" size

[nameness]

What everybody else said…  if you're going for a vintage look, go L.  You can stretch the sleeves if that really bothers you.  It will stretch a fair amount overall but is meant to be fitted.  It's not for everyone.  If that's not your steez then I'd say find a more modern cut with the same details.

The Dark Rider is good stuff, can't go wrong there.

Would you guys happen to know if Self Edge allows refunds or if they're exchange only?

Looks great.  Love the shape of the toggles.  Looking forward to seeing it in some WAYWT pics.

@nameness:

shape of the toggles

Seriously 

Are those sabertooth hippo tusks? Those aren't vintage, their prehistoric!

[Simon]

Horn toggles are traditional on Duffle Coats. That looks a nice coat Lando I used to have something very similar in a camel colour.

[that_was_easy]

Horn button logic I get, I was just dumbstruck by the resemblance to a tooth, which is unique.

Perhaps the decision to go asymmetrical, a quality detail now that I think about it more, enfeebled me.

[nameness]

Most of the toggle coats I see sold in the States have symmetrical <insert color="">toggles.  Those are fine, but these are cooler.  Guess that's why I pointed it out.  Anyway, good stuff.</insert>

Make me want to get a camel one on fleabay but worried abt p2p fit
