[MENTION=8564]zcm[/MENTION] - thanks, and I agree 100% about the LE Fulton loafer - its got a great shape, and is an amazing value under $100! I ended up sizing down half a size from 9.5 to 9, and it seems to have worked out well. I had picked up the tan one last year in my regular size but had to return it as it was too big, and it was never available in the size I needed!
[MENTION=3269]Shomas[/MENTION], I have often admired the LBM jackets, but this is the first I bought - as [MENTION=2492]LosRockets[/MENTION] mentioned, I got it from Yoox for just over $150! Great, now there's going to be more competition for the already limited selection in my size... The tie does have a lot of texture from the loose weave, its another recent addition to the collection (courtesy of eBay) - supposedly made for Flusser by Nicky of Milan, Italy.
[MENTION=2492]LosRockets[/MENTION] - Its a great jacket and I feel I got a great deal on it. The blend is 60/40 cashmere/poly and it has a flannel texture and appearance but with a loose weave that gives it more character. Its unlined, but I doubt I would be able to wear it in DC summers. I am usually between a 38 and 40 for jackets depending on brand (38 Napoli/40 Ludlow) - I ordered this in 40 and its pretty spot on throughout (could prob shorten the sleeves 1/4"). But I ordered some other jackets from Mantova in size 40, as well as another 2-button LBM, and they were a little big in the chest and shoulders - too bad because they were pretty amazing jackets.
