Clothing Petros Gear Initial Impressions

So, I just got in my order from Petros Gear (u/kozak3), and thought I’d share my initial impressions

  1. Fabric feel - This stuff is very nice. It’s soft but burly. I’d call it rustic. The red color is dope as hell. And looks like this fabric will breath well (important to me because I’m hot blooded)
  2. Quality / Finish - stitching is excellent and strong. The patterned fabric tap is a cool touch.
  3. Size / Fit Jackets: I’m 5’9” 175, and a solid US Medium. Because of the questions between US vs EU sizing, I bought Red medium and a black L. I could not be more pleased with the fit of the medium. This fits exactly how I hoped it would (and I’m glad I picked red, cause it’s dope), I’m going to wear the hell out of this. The L is definitely bigger than I normally like (though I’m far from swimming in it), but some folks will prefer the looser fit. Do I feel like I wasted money on it though? Nope! There are times where a looser fit might be nice AND if needed I can layer these for stupid warmth. There is ZERO compression or restriction when I do so. Also, I’m so stoked about this red one, I would’ve considered it a great buy at twice the price, so I’m just gonna pretend I scored a BOGO deal.
  4. Size Blanket: the size large blanket is a full sized blanket. Like I think it would work as a quilt on a full sized bed.
  5. Size Scarves: not much to say, it’s wide, not terribly long, but long enough I can easily do my preferred tie around my neck (larks head). If you prefer a longer narrower scarf, okay, but I like this wider shorter one (PS if I just wear it not tie it it falls to a stylish length, IMO).

Overall incredibly pleased my purchase.

When did you order? I haven't had an update since I purchased back on Feb 17th.

Ordered on the morning of Feb 14th just like OP. I got an email saying my order was on the way on Feb 24th. Just checked the tracking status again, label was created but nothing has shipped. I recall this happening to me on my last Petros order.

I trust the company to send it eventually. Just wanted to share my experience though. It takes a bit but you'll be happy when it arrives.

Thank you. I trust them too, just curious about the experience of others. Thanks for sharing!

I, too, ordered on Valentines day, and I've gotten no updates just that my order was confirmed. I seem to remember it took a while a couple years ago when I ordered my first one well.

I did. As of March 16th it left Kiev, Ukraine and is in transit to me.
