I think it just means you can get the 30% off a week before it goes live for everyone at 30%. Hope i'm wrong though.

would be nice but seems unlikely. code is due to last from next monday to thursday. imagine the sale will then start on friday or monday once the code has been deactivated. that's how i interpret the email anyway

Does OL sale usually get further reductions? wanted that floral camo for quite a while but price is still quite high.

it usually starts at 40% not 30%. and yeah last couple of seasons it's ended at 60% - most shirts are usually sold out before then though.

Hi guys!

First time poster here, a Swede for the record so in advance, please excuse my sometimes maybe incorrect grammar or spelling!

Was wondering if any of you have had any experience from two separate OL pieces from the current collection. The two referred to is the Artisan Parka and the Constellation blazer? I´m a bit, to say the least, confused about the sizing and fitting on these two pieces since the online stores that carries them all have different measurements and also indicates different fits. Some stating that it´s a regular fit and and others that it´s a slim and so on. And for me, I also think it´s hard to judge by the models wearing them how to get a proper estimation of the fit, and size that is.

I´m usually a size L in most OL pieces but lately, and after having tried some pieces out in stores, I´ve reckon that many of the garments are unusually small in size this season? Am i right? I barely managed to get some of the pieces on, even when choosing XL, including the Silk Barre and Crepe blazer.
I´m 184 cm / 6 feet in height and weighs about 90 kg/ 198 lbs ( more fit than plumpy ) with slightly broader shoulders, which for me consequently becomes the most critical part of the body when it comes to fit.

Therefore I consider ordering the pieces in XXL with the risk of them being to big in sleeves and hem and so on.

So to sum things up, I would really appreciate some information if having some regarding measurements, TTS and so on.

Have a nice one!

have you checked the measurements at caliroots? i find them the most accurate and really helpful when ordering OL. as to the pieces you've mentioned, i'd still go with large in both before trying on the XL's. and since you're in sweden you might get good shipping prices if you need to return an item no? (i.e. if you order from the OL store). hope this helps

I'm a standard M. I found the crepe blazer tiny in a M 48 and I have the constellation blazer in a 48 which is too small. I should have got an L and altered it as required. I have broad shoulders too and this is the problem area. I'd size up definitely in the blazer. As for the artisan I'd go true to size depending on the fit. I found this quite a large fitting due to style of jacket. As Antonio said, shipping would be cheap so may be worth getting them in a few sizes and sending back the incorrect sizes. J

I'm a L in most shirts and t-shirts, an XL in sweats/outerwear/suiting. Have tried both the crepe and constellation blazers on in an XL and found both to be too small. the crepe was way too small, the constellation fits bigger but also too small on the chest/shoulders for me.

Thanks for the feedback all of you, made me a bit wiser indeed! And also thanks for the credits regarding my english, One tries at its best!

As for the blazers, kind of a relief to hear I´m not the only one experiencing difficulties in getting the right size and fit since I was starting to think that maybe I´ve unknowingly gained a few pounds..
Still find it a bit disappointing that they run this small in size cause after all I´m not overweight, and as I mentioned earlier, buying a XXL size to achieve a good fit around shoulders/chest pretty sure guarantees a poorer sleeve and overall fit.

But, since my vacation starts today I´m more or less thinking about taking a trip to Stockholm in the days to come. This meaning that I have the opportunity to try items out in physical stores, yay! My quest, if you like, or rather hope will therefore consequently be to out try as many OL items, models, sizes as possible in an attempt to avoid these type of uncertainties in the future (even though sizes seem to change by season?!).
Also, the experience of various fabrics IRL is quite a delight and sometimes influences you in ways that aren´t possible when viewing images from the internet and homepages. And who knows, maybe I can be of some help in return when it comes to issues regarding sizes, models and furthermore!

For now!

no need for a splash collection next year... not feeling the embroidery but the sweater in the first pic looks amazing.
