I don't think I'd want to go any shorter in the body than the Ludlow is, or narrower in the shoulders and waist. I'm a 38 short in the Ludlow and it needs absolutely no tailoring, not even a sleeve adjustment. Take the better part of an inch off the waist though and there'd probably be some pulling at the button and I'd have to have it let out. I'm not sure narrower shoulders would get it done either.

For those who were curious my peacoat came in earlier this week. Haven't had a chance to try it on until today.
For reference I'm 5'7" and around 135lbs, normally a S&M slim 38s is a near a perfect OTR fit for me with the shoulders being ever so slightly too big and the sleeves too long. I decided to go with 38s for this and it seems to run much roomier all around than I expected. It can't really be seen that well in the pictures but around the waist I am swimming in the jacket. The shoulders are also too big for me (narrow shoulders club). That being said the chest feels pretty good, especially considering that I will at times wear layers underneath. I am considering sizing down to the 36s to solve most of the sizing issues but am concerned the chest would then be too tight.
Quality wise the fabric is really amazing. This jacket is a hell of a step up from my old J Crew bayswater which I love. Collar should stand up on its own in these windy New England winters with no problem. It keeps warmth in very well, another 5 minutes around the house in it and I may have started to sweat!
Hope this helps those who were curious. Feel free to ask me any questions about the Peacoat or weigh in with thoughts on the fit. Maybe [MENTION=12087]SpierMackay[/MENTION] could even weigh in on the fit?

Originally posted by jordan View Postany news on when the hopsack blazers will be restocked? I am in need of one, and also likely a navy suit. The stock has been strangely thin around the website for a while, though.
New VBC Mesh Hopsack has shipped, should be here in a couple of weeks.
Timeline on orders and keeping stocks topped up is tricky for a small business. Fabric can take the mill anywhere from a week to 90 days to deliver. The factory then takes up to 45 days to manufacture, then we need another 30 days shipping times. The whole process can take up to 6 months from the time we order cloth. We can only project out so much and allocate so much capital to one product/item at the moment.
We plan our purchases for the entire season as we have a capital budget that we allocate to the entire seasons purchase. As we grow and collect more data, we can plan better and project out further.Last edited by SpierMackay; October 2, 2017, 09:55 PM.

No worries, just wanted to be sure nothing bad was happening (closing, etc). Love your guys stuff, just need to get my hands on some more!

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a Navy Blue in 40R. Thanks for the pics!

We have been getting some requests recently, especially in the sportcoats, so we're def. looking in to expanding sportcoat sizing moving forward. Funny enough, we added the 42 Slim for this season, simply because too many guys just want to wear a "slim" fit.
