Hi everyone, really long time lurker I wanted to just post a pretty thorough review of the items I tried on. Not really looking for opinions on fit nor what monetary values to clothing you have(ie if something is too expensive for you), so please keep that in mind, I just wanted to post because some of these posts have been so incredibly helpful over the years and I wanted to help if it could be useful at all. 

I'm 5 '4 and incredibly pear shaped (12-inch difference between waist to hips, 6ish-inch difference between hips and bust) and I have a preference for cropped, boxy fits just as my style preference. So even though my sezane top size is around US size 10-12, if anything goes low enough to hips it's an immediate size US 14. Again, I'm not looking for flattering fit advice, I know what I like on my body quite well pls no commentary on that ☺️ and I live in Canada so climate is part of the review

Yvan trouser, Wool Black, Size US 14: 

Not pictured as it looked ridiculous. The fit was all wrong, tight on hips, too loose on the waist, too wide on the rest of the leg, and way too long, very typical of sezane. Also, the website says lined, they are not lined!!!! lol maybe they meant pockets but for that price I’m expecting an accurate description in details and composition. The material was sheer when held up to light, and as I wear black trousers as a concert musician I am not wiling to risk them being partly sheer with stage lighting.

Jule Jacket, Navy Wool, size US 14: 

Fit is a little too large but honestly I really like this jacket. Felt like a substantial fall-to-winter transition coat, decent thickness, probably can go up to 0° celsius. Sizing was good, but am curious to see if a size down would have been too small around the hips, currently feels like a little bit too much fabric. The overall cons were that I really disliked the real cuff (that is sewn shut) that adds a very bulky part to the end of a long sleeve (it makes putting your hands into the jacket pockets a little clunky, I noticed the leather counterpart does not have this cuffing double material) and that the wool is too itchy. I have a minor wool allergy (can’t use aquaphor without skin swelling as an example) and the exaggerated funnel neck just goes too high and irritates my chin; I get a red patch within minutes. The zipper, while sturdy, is a little hard to zip so you need to have patience to not harm it. This doesn't bother me, but I know this would be a deal-breaker for some. The lining feels more like a thin cotton imitation than an imitation silk, which I like.The silhouette is definitely not for everyone but I really really love it. It's just a shame with a wool allergy how impractical it is. I really don't like wearing scarfs with short coats due to added bulk so the funnel neck was a practical detail in my eyes. It can also hold a chunky knit without changing the way it drapes, even in the sleeves(léonard underneath as reference). I added a few pics of the collar at different lengths and how the neckline drapes, as well as the jacket laying open.

Mia Jacket, Navy Wool, size US 14:

I have this coat in the blue denim and tried it last year in the burgundy leather (both were size 12), they fixed the running large issue so be aware to choose your usual size. I love the colour of the midnight navy and the grey marbled buttons, the wool is much softer than the Jule Jacket but it still comfortably fits a chunky sweater (I have the virgil underneath as reference). I really like it and it's warm but overall too thin for the price. Had the wool been thicker and had they added a lining I would have kept it, but for its current retail price it’s too expensive. I’d say without a sweater this could maaaaaybe stretch until 5° celsius, more likely 10°. I also layered the virgil for colour reference between navy colours as well as a not accurate picture of the difference between the navy Jule and the navy Mia (the Jule being more of a lighter more blue navy, Mia is on top of Jule). Whereas the Jule felt like a substantial jacket, the mia felt like a thicker, oversized cardigan.

Léonard Jumper, Blue-grey, T2:

I really love this sweater and have decided to keep it. It’s a little itchy though (definitely doesn’t feel like merino by any stretch, more just standard 2.5-3/5 wool itch). The funnel neck having some innate structure allows me to be able to wear it without it deeply irritating my skin and I always wear base layer long sleeves with sweaters (canadian winter layering). The sleeves are also too long but when I cuff it, it is acceptable and really cozy. I’m glad I didn’t follow the sizing chart as I would have bought something way too large. I used internet deductive skills on smaller bodied people wearing both the virgil and léonard T1 and decided to try T2 (to make sure it still felt oversized). I probably could have sized down to T1 but I rather this.

Virgil, Navy:

I have the virgil in the rose colourway and as a cooltone girl I was really happy when I saw them come out with a cool neutral colour. I love this sweater and have washed the rose colour on delicate/cold and it has not discoloured nor shrunk. I read somewhere on this sub that someone was saying the gap has an identical sweater and I think I have the one they’re talking about so I decided to add that in as a comparison. I wear the gap size US M (large was too large). lol it’s nowhere near the same quality, but I am clumsy so I like outside and inside clothes so I am content with having two. The gap is both shorter (the L was the same length btw) and it’s nowhere near as thick so it doesn’t have the same drape nor warmth. They are both crewneck, navy, cropped cotton sweaters but the details aren’t identical. If you’re looking for a much less expensive alternative basic(which I got like 50% off if I remember), it’s quite good, just in my opinion, not similar enough to be an exact dupe.
