Does anyone know how these Lot 441 trousers fit? Any comments?
I have a sz 33 in the Double Diamond Lot 443 wool trousers and they are a touch big in the waist (not dry cleaned/washed yet), and a sz 32 in the Lot 451 chino trousers and again they are slightly big in the waist despite being smaller (one wash so far).
Look good as a smart alternative to jeans without the weight / warmth of wool.
Thanks

@riffblaster:
Anybody have any experience with the lot 991bk jeans?

Yes what do you want to know?
The denim feels pretty light weight and accordingly they do stretch a fair bit in the waist. They have a dark grey mix to the fabric so will fade to that colour, by all accounts pretty nicely.
thanks. thats pretty much exactly what i wanted to know.

Anyone seen the Buco Racing Vest in person? If so, any thoughts or comments on it? Specifically the zipper and the thickness of the vest?

I have. Really liked it. Very clean and simple. If memory serves i thought the side pockets looked a bit small. When Im next in the office i can always go and check it out for you. Might have to be there tomorrow

Thanks!

@Cutlasshound would also be interested to hear your opinion on how the Buco compares to the military inspired alpaca vests?
Cheers.

Racing vest should be here tomorrow [emoji3]. Now the next item. Looking at the M65 Field Jacket the size Medium chest, length and body measurements look good but I'm worried about the sleeve length. Anyone with a Medium or Large want to take some full sleeve (collar center to cuff) measurements for me?

Nice man! Enjoy it and take some pics.

thank you @steelworker I love this hat. its a 40sfedora style from tattonbaird by chandler scott he did as a limited edition for rising sun when Mike Hodis was in charge. wear it almost everyday its so good

Love the Racing Vest. I went with a 40 and it is exactly what I wanted. Great over a tshirt but still works over my 102. And I can layer it under my Gk. A win all around.

Looks great Matt, I look forward to seeing it later this fall and winter. I have wanted this one for a while but my vest collection is stocked.
-
Wise choice indeed! Now i must resign myself to the fact that this does not, and will not, ever fit me [emoji19]

Sorry old chap for delayed response, not had the opportunity to get back in the office. As soon as i do, will pop and have a look.
From memory, my initial impressions between the two were that:
-
the pile of the lining was a lot longer on the military vest, which means it would probably be warmer. I prefered the aesthetic of the shorter pile on the racing vest and thought it would be more practical for me in terms of layering.
-
the above means that, in my opinion, the racing vest would mean it was more practical for layering under a jacket.
-
I dislike the colour brown (except in leather), so i was naturally drawn to the colour of the lining on the racing vest.
-
generally, i didn't notice any fundamental differences between the two other than the above (and the fact that the military vest comes in different colours)
-
the build quality on both was excellent, as you would expect.
I tried the racing vest on as i have been planning to buy it for months. It is lovely and i would have bought it. However, the sizing is tiny!! Im typically an xl or xxl in IH and even in size 42, i couldnt get close to zipping this up over a IH tshirt, let alone layering something underneath!
