Lost & Found, by Ria Dunn

Thats roughed me up, lovely cuts and great fabric... but too big for me!

Ahh where its bad for some its great for others (me). I've just had to return some In Aisce stuff because it runs so small so its great L & F fits bigger.

Some of the more basic L & F pieces feel like they could be quite delicate in terms of the materials but are actually pretty durable, so you get the shape/drape without the worries of damage.

fit is still on the roomy side even though some pieces are a bit more slim in cut, M still fits a 50 in most pieces.

[MikeN]

What size were the darted slim pants you tried on? How did they fit you?

[theetruscan]

Fit is generally large, but is all over the map.

I'm a 52+ top, 50-52 trousers.

I wear either medium or large trousers, and have found M-XL can all be my size in tops. I'd say that, generally, the knits fit a full size larger than coats. For the most part, I take a L in trousers and knits and an XL in coats.

can SZ power changed this fate?

[Faust]

Why should they? Enough shrinkwrapped stuff out there.

^amen keep quiet about this and let the big boys have one for god's sake

[Macro]

sizing ranges from XXS to XL. Once the Japanese start buying into it all you skinny boys can hunt it down.

not shrinkwrapped , definitely. but at least fits well for smaller people^

I just had the cotton/linen mix jacket from this season arrive (one Faust had in classifieds a while back and Lowrey has in a recent waywt post) and it definitely runs large for the size, but I'm not sure what I think about it.

I love the texture, feel and colour. What I'm longing for though is a bit more structure/rigidity to it because of the way the collar is designed to sit when open and turned up (obvious impact of linen mix and being in transit). Even a couple of extra buttons/hooks to hold the shape together more would overcome the issue I think.

This is likely to be the only issue I find with L & F outwear, whilst light, comfortable and cool the material can mean the jacket loses its shape a bit around the collar/lapels which frustrates me.

[lowrey]

but this is a very very lightweight jacket without any lining, thats the point of it. I personally like having a jacket that I can wear even in warm weather. There have been plenty of blazers and jackets with more structure, and will be in the upcoming collection. you could always have a tailor add a lining to it, would give it some more structure.

[Mikevigar]

I got it for precisely the reason that it would be a jacket ideal for Summer weather and that it is, and in terms of my longing for there to be a bit more stiffness to the collar particularly, I find it sits really well over a shirt and I have managed to get a slight kink out of the neck from sitting in the post for a few days. So with wear, it has definitely grown on me a lot.

[Faust]

It's a fantastic piece. I wish it'd fit me! But glad if fits the lowrey!

yea the linen breaks in nicely and molds to the wearer
