Can't remember if I've asked this question before or not, but here we go.
FW thermals: I'm assuming they are pretty forgiving? They only make up to size large but I've been wanting to try one out.
Corlection's product page says they stretch 2-3 inches in the chest, can anyone attest to that?
Their measurements for a size large show a 19.5 in. chest, so that'll stretch out to ~21.5-22.5 which should be fine for me.
I understand thermals are supposed to be fitted / slim, just wanted to see if anyone could chime in before giving one a shot.

[Duke Mantee 13,153]

Yeah they stretch out quite a bit

[Cozzie 104]

@Broark, I picked up one in large last year and kinda wished i had bought a medium instead.  I have to wash it after every time i wear it though, other wise the second wear feels a little too stretched out.

FWs is just tops... 

Sorry for the poor photo quality, but you get the idea here! 

[Maynard Friedman 569,896]

Not just tops, they do bottoms too, such as those jeans you posted above.

@JMS more photos? 

[Broark 15,849]

Just a few more Yahoo Auctions finds.

[Broark 15,849]

Fit pics after a trip through the wash. (Wow Imgur really killed the photo quality on these )

Definitely definitely definitely this is your fit

[julian-wolf 6,652]

Those really do fit great—I almost put a bid in for that Hammersmith but figured it’d be better off going to someone your size than mine, & I’m glad it worked out the way it did

If anyone wants other brands of shirts hit me up because I'm selling almost everything else to make room for more FW. 

[Broark 15,849]

Still quite warm here, but this Desolation Row special version of the Lumper jacket is making me reconsider.

[Cozzie 104]

Oh my!…

[mpukas 2,368]

Now that's F'g cool 

[Cozzie 104]

Hell yea it is, I’m trying to decide if I can justify owning 2 lumpers, haha.  @Broark, u should def pick that jacket up so I can live vicariously through you. Nice get on the shirts, they look incredible on you.

[JohnM 1,320]

Two lumpers!  Good to know I'm not the only one who's tempted to double (or triple) up -- justified with jeans, not so much with leather jackets.

[Broark 15,849]

@Cozzie how warm would you say the jacket is on a scale of 1 to 10?
I've got a birthday coming up so maybe I'll go for it. 

[Cozzie 104]

It’s not a super warm jacket, I’d say a 6 maybe.   prob good with a sweater down to 32 deg Fahrenheit. With a scarf prob a little bit colder if you weren’t outside too long.  

[Cozzie 104]

@JohnM, I love it!  the lumper trifecta!

[JDelage 5,603]

Boom, order placed. This is a dream jacket for me (if it fits...) I have 2 similar jackets, but this one has the advantage of the hand warmers. And that flavor of Beach cloth is quite rare.

[Broark 15,849]

@JDelage what size did you go for, 42?
If you don’t mind me asking, what was the total bill with shipping to the US?

[JDelage 5,603]

Yes, I got 42. Total cost was JPY 98,500 incl. JPY 8,300 shipping but I am not sure whether they will remove the tax. The bill is unclear.

EDIT: What's not unclear is my CC statement, and I was charged the full amount incl. taxes...

Beach cloth is fairly warm but it’s big advantage is that it’s fairly windproof and resists rain really well given it’s all natural fibre

Ouch.  Looking forward to photos!

[Duke Mantee 13,153]

@JDelage why were you charged consumption tax?

[JDelage 5,603]

I don't know. I sent them an email. We'll see how it goes.

[Duke Mantee 13,153]

Good luck

[Broark 15,849]

Really love these sweaters.Just another fall/winter item I’m trying to justify  

 

[Duke Mantee 13,153]

@Broark get the Size L … that way when you don’t wear it as much then it will be useful to me 

[Broark 15,849]

@Duke Mantee I'm going to let my rational thought processes win this one, maybe if I ever move somewhere significantly colder I'll revisit.
