Thanks@clowniform , I'll try that!

ScottishMouse · 12/11/2023 13:45

Thanks @clowniform (and everyone else who commented, just catching up now). I read online that I should soak the jumper in cold water with a little conditioner and then stretch it out and dry flat. So I did that. But sadly it is still a bit small. I am going to wear it around the house today and see if that stretches it any more.

@clowniform , I think the Barbour and the silk/jacquard are similar. I have the green jacquard trousers that are being altered at the moment. They are beautiful but they aren’t a thick jacquard.

Has anyone got this and know what the sizing is like?

@Snowyowl78 I have this cardigan and took it in my usual size for Toast cardigans.

Snowyowl78 · 13/11/2023 10:23

@Noeggsontoast thanks that’s helpful!

Saurus72 · 13/11/2023 16:46

I’m kind of enjoying the calm of not buying a lot. But at the same time I’m missing the sale frenzy and chatter. I reckon the Winter sale will start on the Weds/Thursday before Christmas with maybe a little snicket for Black Friday (no reference will be made to BF tho of course….).

MiracleToast · 13/11/2023 16:52

Hello, me again with sizing queries. I am quite taken by the big baggy cords in tent green but when they arrived they were massive! So I’ve just today managed to track some smaller sized ones from a store. I’m so confused by the sizing. I thought now we were going with our ‘normal’ size, but that doesn’t seem to work.. anyway.. grumbling aside, has anyone got these cords? And if so, did you take your normal size, old toast sizing or supposed new toast sizing?? 🤯

MiracleToast · 13/11/2023 16:53

@Saurus72 I agree, I think a little low key Black Friday weekend will come soon

Stoic123 · 13/11/2023 17:39

@Saurus72 - yes, it is peaceful not buying. I was tempted to buy another Chup pair of socks but have resisted- will definitely pick up in a sale if appears. I also think a 4 day sale late November for a clear out of lingering summer stock and any returns from September's sale.

I'm guessing Thurs before Christmas (after 2pm) for the main one - it normally starts pretty quickly after the cut-off time for 'Next Day delivery' by Chritsmas.

Noeggsontoast · 13/11/2023 17:45

@Stoic123 this place sells Chup socks and 40% off not that I'm trying to enable

Saurus72 · 13/11/2023 18:15

@Stoic123 The Chup socks are elite aren’t they? I’m wearing mine now and I haven’t had cold feet all day long. I’ve added some more to my Christmas list because I mainly have gift cards but my mum really likes us to have presents she can wrap - she’s 78 so who am I to deny her the pleasure of that?!?

I’m still tempted by the Swedish stockings but they’re so expensive not sure I can bring myself to buy them.

OftenOrange · 13/11/2023 19:28

@Noeggsontoast The price is great but they’re all large ,, good for presents though .

Stoic123 · 13/11/2023 20:38

Ha ha @Noeggsontoast - enabling.

Tsukiko · 14/11/2023 02:13

Thank you for the advice from previous page!
Great to hear there are more 5'4 people like myself wearing Toast. I have a few bits that are quite precious to me, although the colours have not suited me for the past few seasons so I tend to avoid tops and dresses at the moment.

Will check out the trousers mentioned. I love the look of the pull on cords (used to have some, but have heard they have changed?), my old ones were a bit too tight at the waist. Am afraid of going a size up as the rise is very long and might look odd.
A lot of the reviews suggest the sizing is all over the place Confused

Snowyowl78 · 14/11/2023 10:02

@Tsukiko i haven’t had that with the cords, but maybe the current ones are a new batch of sizing, not sure.

has anyone found another stockist for Sturlini or tried these

i want to try them but the price is a bit crazy, wondering if they are cheaper anywhere else but not having much luck. It’s annoying that Toast only show one picture of these and other boots! I am particular about soles as I am always scared of slipping, but none the wiser!

Hi guys,

In case anyone is interested, Celtic & Co have two codes atm with no minimum spend, (bizarrely).

X2023E gets £20 off

X1523 gets £15 off

I just used the £15 one to get some sheepskin insoles and only had to pay £4.95 p&p.

Btw: @Tsukiko I too am 5’4” and am learning to embrace the almost floor length look on me in most Toast dresses 🤣

MiracleToast · 14/11/2023 13:19

Thank you @Dee1224 I just got myself some too 🙂

Dee1224 · 14/11/2023 13:54

That’s great @MiracleToast 😀

MiracleToast · 14/11/2023 13:56

@Dee1224 our feet will be nice and toastie

Dee1224 · 14/11/2023 14:04

Insole twins @MiracleToast 🤣

No1Mousie · 14/11/2023 15:14

@Snowyowl78 I’ve been looking at those boots the are beautiful, and I think they’d be useful.

Also yearning after the tassel loafers, I saw the loafers on a live the other day and they looked super. I liked how they came so high up the foot. I suspect the boots will be just as good.

Wonder if we can ask Toast to show specific items on a live … but I guess they’d have such a list of requests it might not be possible.

No1Mousie · 14/11/2023 15:16

@Dee1224 thanks for the Celtic and Co lead - sheepskin insoles hopefully winging their way north soon.

Dee1224 · 14/11/2023 16:30

Glad you got them @No1Mousie !

Stoic123 · 14/11/2023 17:31

@Dee1224 - another pair ordered. Thanks
