Guys

Hate to do it to your wallets again but Mr Porter has QOS Cardi (or very similar) in stock see link below

https://www.mrporter.com/en-gb/mens/tom_ford/shawl-collar-ribbed-wool-cardigan/820608

Question on sizing do they run large or true to size?

Enjoy!

Cheers :007)

    Yeah I pasted the link but they seem to have inserted a flash screen saying Target, Ebay etc if you look bottom right its says skip and go to Mr Porter. Else go to www.mrporter.com and search for TOM FORD Shawl-Collar Ribbed Wool Cardigan direct.

    Selling like hot cakes some sizes already sold out - glad I bagged one already!

    Mods: I know you use Viglink on this site. That screen showing Target, Amazon, etc. when someone clicks a link is a new function Viglink added as part of their affiliate program. It's a pain. But you can call or write them and ask them to turn it off. That's what I did.

    Chris

    I went true to size as the listing said:

    Fits true to size. Take your normal size
    This cardigan is designed to be worn fitted

    It should arrive tomorrow I will let you know.

    Cheers :007)

    Same here always regretted not getting one each time they have come up - must of spent a fortune on look alike cardigans. Always said next time but never got around too it until now. I could not downsize as that was already sold out - so if anyone here ordered a IT46 let me know before you send it back!!.

    Still if it don't fit I will know what size I need for next time - these seem to come up annually at Mr P.

    Good luck!

    If they are available at Mr Porters, maybe TF themselves have new stock?
  • DBSDBS Los Angeles, CAPosts: 1,015MI6 Agent
    These are the new slim version, not the QoS cut. TF discontinued that version in 2014. This slim version has been TF's seasonal piece since F/W 2014.

    Kind regards,

    Looks like they are sold out because I searched and 0 results turned up.

    EDIT: Search function turned up 0 results, but when I went to the TOM FORD section and on page 3 it's listed there;

    They are the same price. I always love going to the store as opposed to ordering online when I have the opportunity!

    $1590 on Mr Porter US site but GBP860 Inc VAT on UK site. UK will ship to US ex VAT so cheaper there by some way. Overall I am finding UK site better priced on many items.

    I assume many of you shop there already, so this may be redundant, but from memory Mr Porter gets these from TF nearly every season. I believe they last had it in December, in a not quite navy shade of blue. I've always gotten great CS from Mr Porter, as well as prompt shipping.
  • DBSDBS Los Angeles, CAPosts: 1,015MI6 Agent
    Yes, but it's likely you'll have to pay import/customs duties on it coming from the UK. So that would cancel out any savings you might get. Any purchases over $800 (I believe it's $800, but it might be $600) are subject to customs in the US. If you purchase from the Mr. Porter US site, you don't get charged any additional fees/taxes beyond what is charged at checkout.

    They pay the US duties. So often product from Mr Porter UK to the US costs slightly less than the same one from Mr Porter UK to UK (duty < VAT but postage a little more) but both are significantly less, certainly on this item, than buying from the US site. I've done it!

    I have the QoS version and the new ones run more fitted. QoS version also have slightly bigger lapels and more room everywhere.

    Thanks just happened to throw on white shirt and sta prest this morning cannot think why?
    New ones are slimmer fit I went true to size going down one would have been too small for sure for me not much wriggle room here.
    They really do have monster turn back cuffs though! :D

    still yet to try mine though , hopefully today.
    never got lucky on the sta prest are their almond colour and if so when looking for alternative are their jeans twill like or chinos.
    I have 7 for mankind beige twill jeans but not sure if they look right ?
    I'll post pics , thanks

    What are you waiting for man!
    Seriously I saw a pair of light coloured twill strides in Next some time back sort of sta prest material but in jean pocket configuration. Cannot for the life of me find them anywhere now but it was only 6 months ago must be available in Next Clearence or maybe in store. I remembered thinking how close they were.

    Edit - cannot swear by them but these may be the ones, slim fit though on Next clearance

    Thanks Bond44 for the info.
    I was interested to know how the new cardigan model fits.
