yes, to the thumb knuckle. pretty long.

Hmm, it's your blazer, but thumb knuckle length sounds just right to me.

Thumb nuckle lenght is the right one. Why don't you post a pic ?
Don't forget, in addition, that, after some use, the arms will crease at the elbow, and shorten about 2 cms.

i have also noticed sleeves falling much shorter after creasing from wear.
wearing a dress shirt as opposed to a tee can greatly help; the cuff tends to hold the sleeves at an appropriate level.

I have dyed quite a bit of cotton and linen without using water hot enough to damage elastic. With all due respect to Patroklus, I use hot water but nowhere near hot enough to 'blister' anything or melt synthetic material.

Blistering wasn't the right word, but anyway I've damaged elastic material in hot washing machines so I suspect that any dye hot enough to give a good black might be risky. I was waiting to hear the word on the elastic waistband, because I was going to suggest just picking out the cuffs and reattaching them or having them reattached afterwards.

Sorry patroklus, went to sleep right after my message about the composition. But yeah, there's elastic in the waistband too.

And thanks to both of you for the input. Detaching/reattaching the cuffs is beyond my level, but I can try dyeing in water that isn't super hot. Worse that can happen is that the dye won't take.

Either way, that breakdown is exactly what I was looking for beardown!

[Patroklus]

any tailor with an overlock could do it, could deconstruct and reconstruct the waistband too.

bbs sneaks

anyone handled the bbs sneaks from this season yet? Could you give your thoughts on the leather, construction, and how well will the sole hold up?

[lazyguru]

Can someone please care to tell me if this is Devoa and if so what season ? Grazie mille!

[avout]

Looks more like Rick to me.

[lazyguru]

Thats what i initially thought too , But the e pockets are not cut to the side this way on any RO jacket I have seen.
Either Devoa or IS , is what I think

[shuit]

the 5 button sleeves tell me it's RO. but I could be wrong though.

[mattizzle]

Looks like RO
I think its this one from Limo

Here is the back (You can see 4 buttons on the sleeve just like the one on yours)

[lazyguru]

AH! Nice , thank you gents!

[mattizzle]

RO limo pod shorts

Are there any differences between the Women and Men version (Like the length and the style)?

I found a size 42 (should fit a size 30?) or is it too small?

[mattizzle]

So a Women 42 = Men 44?
Thanks

[Patroklus]

I'm not positive about Rick's womens sizing but I fit 44 in mens and 38 or 40 in womens.
That said, it's a drawstring short, and it has enough room in the crotch to smuggle a turkey. I just don't see sizing being that critical here.
