Re: Dior Homme Sizing
Others can answer better, I haven't tried a DH piece on in about two years, but from what I hear the fit these days is pretty true to size. Also, depending on what you are looking at. Can someone confirm?

Re: Dior Homme Sizing
Most of the current pieces are true to size. You'll come across a few shirts where you may find yourself having to size down one size. Tees have always been pretty true to size and I suggest sizing down one size in hoodies and the like.
The footwear has typically been 1/2 a size large for the hi-tops as well.
Hope that helps!www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs

Re: Dior Homme Sizing
It would fit ok, but not super slim and sharp. I'd say if you're familiar with Raf and other brands, it'd fit like a 48 from them in my experience.
It would be not so bad to take it and layer a sweater under it.
Figure with the paypal code in the paypal thread you're only going to have to pay for the restocking since shipping to you will be free!

[quote user="Johnny"]erm i don't understand the paypal thing - how do i get it to work?[/quote]
There is a PayPal option on the Yoox checkout page, click it instead of "pay by credit card." you don't need to pay by paypal though to get it to work, it just works - pp@yoox. I'd be carefuly about Dior's quality though - iffy...Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months - Oscar Wilde

Re: Dior Homme Sizing
/\ i don't like that shape in general, but I love the color of it up close. I don't know, Johnny, can't give you a definite answer, but I'm more on the Nay side. I don't remember seeing it in person though...

Re: Dior Homme Sizing
Oh hmm, I see the one you're referring to. I'm going to agree with Faust and say nay on this one too. The thing is that the torso isn't darted so it's going to look very "englishman hunting in the woods". Very much a straight, rectangular-boxy silhouette.
There's a size 50 DH coat on ebay that buttons in the front that actually looks halfway decent and at least will have a slim contoured cut due to darting at the waist:

Cheaper than the one on yoox thus far as well.
Plus it's $1000... you can definitely get a better coat than that for the price... Like Faust said too, DH quality isn't as high as it was a couple/few years ago either sadly!
I'll have a couple LMaltieri work coats in the $1100-1350 range when my store launches...

Re: Dior Homme Sizing
Thanks for the views. My biggest reservations are indeed the apparent boxiness and the price. I do like the fabric though. I own NO DH, so I'm looking at it objectively, but also without the benefit of any experience as to quality etc. Hmmm, dunno. Helena is ordereing some stuf from yoox tonight so i'm tempted just to get it and i could send it back.......hmph, dunno

Re: Dior Homme Sizing
If you're normally a 38 in Raf or an M in Ann D for ex, I concur with A that you'd normally wear a 38/M in Dior. This one (I'm assuming we're talking the same coat here -- steel grey, herringbone pattern) is from VOTC I'm pretty sure, and so the quality should be half decent. I've got a trench in the identical style in heavy cotton from VOTC. I'm really pleased with it, but in my size it is roomy, basically an overcoat. I can comfortably wear a thick blazer underneath. I can rarely wear below my size in dior outerwear but I'd have gotten away with a size below in this one if I didn't want to wear it over a jacket. Assuming the cut is the same, it's almost certainly going to be oversized for you. All that said, it's not really a boxy coat. It closes asymetrically taking some fabric out of play, and has a slim silouhette, open and closed.
Then again it's only a $5 proposition to give it a whirl.

Re: Dior Homme Sizing
I'm a chest 38/39 as well, and my waist is 29.5, and I ALWAYS choose sz 46 for DH, no matter if it's a coat or a jacket. As for shirts, it depends, I fit a small in some shirts, and a medium in others. I dont own any dior shirts, so I couldnt tell you about their sizing in the long run. But I did own the dior luster biker jacket, I own a dior military coat, and they were all size 46. The fit, as expected from dior, is superlative. But I think the fit is absolutely contingent on whether you are slim down the chest or not... if you are, and your waist is about 30", then I say a sz 46 will fit you best for dior.
