Anyone know how Sebago Rangers fit?

I bought a pair of these in my usual size (EU43) and they are the smallest pair of shoes I have ever tried on in that size, they genuinely fit two sizes smaller. Don't know if they were labelled wrong or something but I had to send them back as they were unwearable.

I got a secondhand wool coat (Balmacaan not double breasted fwiw) here in Ireland for €140 last year, there are plenty of equivalents knocking around eBay for the same price.

Help me figure out outerwear

Check out Universal Works et al if you want something along the lines of pic 1-2 which are chore coats/overshirts, vintage raglan coat for 3, overcoat for 4 and I think that’s a polo coat or something similar in pic 5. Definitely go vintage/used for 3-5.

wool pants/clothing questions

Just to confuse you further, Donegal tweed comes in a variety of weights. For instance I have two Donegal tweed balmacaan coats, one is 655g/mtr and the other is about 500g/mtr in weight (no idea what this is in oz/yds, sorry). The heavier one is bulletproof in the cold and wind but has 100% polyester lining whereas the other has viscose lining which I much prefer.
