Question on Boggi Milano coat I bought
Hello
I recently discovered Boggi Milano in an outlet shop and got a beautiful coat for 300 euros instead of 750!.
So it says 95% wool 5% alpaga for the external fabric, but the lining says its a mix of viscose and polyester.
Im relatively new to dressing well and I heard I should aim for 0% of such fabrics in my coats/suits etc.
But is that for the 'external part' kind of fabric only?
Also second question the sales guy told me I bought a size 50(Italian sizes I believe) but I just realized the paper inside with the fabric info says size 46.. is it possible its not the same kind of size?
I can add a picture if it helps
Thanks

EU 46 is a IT 50
iirc
Also what’s the viscose to poly ratio
I actually quite like viscose
I think it’s fine as a lining
55 poly 45 viscose it seems
oof
What?
I mean it’s a big high but I’m guessing that’s just to prevent damage and increase longevity
nothing inherently bad here just different preferences
that's a perfectly normal and reasonable fabric comp for lining.
Okay I see
So its expected to not have everything made of wool or cashmere etc? Even for the lining?
no
absolutely not
some people don’t have poly work well on their skin
Sorry you mean lining is usually made of another product? Or that its usually wool etc as well? I phrased my question poorly
this lining is fine
Ah alright, cool
Do higher end brands tend to make it of the same fabric? I have no idea how it works
my saint laurent jackets are all viscose/wool/silk
Good to know
And uh if I wanna buy something online for sales, like a coat do I go size 50 then? For an italian brand
Gutteridge has a coat im interested in rn at size 50 italian but Idk if its actually my size then
depends on the brand - one brands "50" may differ from another
if you have a coat that fits how you want, measure it (sleeves, pit to pit, shoulder seam to shoulder seam, length) and compare with the listing
For lining, the best is usually Bemberg (type of cupro), and after that it's the other viscose/rayon artificial silks
Silk is an ok lining for coats and jackets but it runs hot and is less durable
Poly viscose blend should be more than fine
Your coat lining should not be touching your skin anyway? You'll have a shirt on under it probably. Viscose is rayon is cupro is bemburg, just different brands of rayon (cellulose based fabric). 50 poly 50 viscose is fine, it might smell more when you sweat depending on what type of poly it is I guess.
Afaik IT sizing is the same as EU sizing but Zeo is right in that you should go off measurements
my understanding is that Bemberg is a trademarked property version of cupro
Yup
Thanks for those insights

All I can find is the size
No other info

I’ve heard this as well but I’ve always been recommended an IT 50 at places like Zegna and Brunello vs EU 46 at Burberry, SLP, Celine
Well and the fabric
again measurements are key
I can't find them and its 15 bucks to send it back so..
Seems to be a different blend ratio
Composition principale:
97 % - WOOL 3 % - ELASTAN
Doublure du corps:
52 % - POLYESTER 48 % - VISCOSE
Yeah 52 48 almost the same
But I meant there are no measurements
I meant the wool and alpaca
Oh yeah
Ive been told this brand fits slim people better
Im more a rugbyman kinda guy
I mean you have the coat and you've tried it on right?
If you like how it looks and fits then go for it
^
Wouldn’t expect much difference especially since you’re staying within the same brand
Oh no mb
The coat I have is from boggi milano
The one I sent through a link is from Gutteridge
The one from boggi yeah its amazing
Im just wondering if I can order a size 50 coat from another italian brand
does the boggi milano fit how you want?
if so, maybe. measure it, look for another coat, see if the measurements match. you may need to find a 48 or 52 or different size depending on the maker; that's just how clothing makers are sometimes
Yep but there are no measurements for the gutteridge one
Yeah the one from boggi is amazing
Not much we can do about that, unfortunately. You can try emailing them or contacting them via whatsapp
There's a range of measurements in the sizing chart beyond that https://www.gutteridge.com/fr_FR/size-guide-new.html

Yep around 110cm for chest is size 50 and I know im around that chest size. Im really confused why my boggi coat says size 46 inside. I doubt is because 46 is 100cm for chest and thats not me for sure
Thanks for the link
Late, but still: that label says 46, it's the italian size. It's like an UK 36. If measurement doesn't match, maybe they sew the wrong label inside... what does the tag say? Gutteridge vs Boggi tends to be less slim, in general.
Hey, which tag? Inside it says 46.. but I doubt it.
Im new to this but the cms of sleeves etc seem to be closer to a 50, which is M/L. In general nothing in S fits me..
But wouldn't it be super weird for the tag inside to be wrong?@Fmkb
I mean the price tag 🙂 Usually their garments come with a paper tag with model, size, color and price on it. If it says 50, might be really an error on the sewn label: after all, what counts more are measurements 🙂
Hmm I don't have it anymore they kept it when I bought it.. all I got is this
Here
Then I think the only way is to check the actual measurements: if you can find the coat on their website maybe you can cross-check the measurements to understand the size?
For Gutteridge I'd try to get actual measurements anyway, personally I wear one size smaller in that brand vs Boggi, but length can be a bit challenging.
Tried that but I can't find the coat anywhere anyway
I didnt go with the Gutteridge one, I got another one from Canali, second hand. A steal for around 250 bucks, almost new.
Its size 48 but the measurements looked close. Can't wait to receive it
As for the boggi mystery well.. Its weird
I think the suit I bought from them is size 50 too
Well, then there is no match, some Gutteridge fabrics are nice but Canali is definetely on another level 🙂 eBay?
Strange for the Boggi, yes... but good brand at outlet prices anyway
Vinted! Looks like a trusted seller
