I am just about ready to order a wool pullover from the Asbell's and was wondering about sizing. I have heard they run a little big. I was wondering if anyone else about my size has ordered one and what size you got. Oh yeah, how did it fit. I'm 5'11" weigh about 265# and I'm fairly broad across the shoulders. Thanks.

I bought a zipper hooded shirt/jacket at Compton . I wear a large normally and large is what i bought keeping in mind I could have heavy clothes under it. I thought it to be perfect. good luck you can’t go wrong with their merchandise top quality and craftmanship.

I'm between an M and an L. I ordered an M and sold it so I can buy an L since I'm a skinny dude and have to layer under it.

mellonhead....double check with teresa before you buy, but I think you would be a perfect XXL.
Asbell wool is just roomy enough for a little layering.

The cut is pretty true with room for a little layering as already mentioned, the stuff is great for a wide range of temps, too.

Don't get in a big hurry.. I ordered and paid for some stuff from Asbell on June 4th and still have not received it more than a month later.
Sorry for the sour grapes, (I'm usually a quiet guy) but but I called near the end of June to check the status and was told they were gone for 2 weeks and would get on it. So, I noticed by the tracking number that the "Electronic shipping information" was received by USPS on July 1st. and I thought "great", but it is yet more than another week later and the package has still not been delivered to USPS for shipping.

Like some of the other guys I am 6' and 260.I have the XXL and it fits good. But doin't plan on putting a lot of extra layers under it.I ordered mine in the summer a year ago and it took a little while.But it did show up way before the cold did.

Thats twice you posted about this, the first time you didn't mention it was shipped and you had a tracking number....If Teresa shipped it, you should be going after the USPS, not the Asbells. I suggest you follow up with them and quit posting negative information on a public forum.

Thanks guys. Now I need to decide on a pattern. Kinda torn between the little delta plaid and evening stand green or brown. I hunt the hardwood forests here in PA. Opinions welcomed.

I'm 6'4", 265 lbs, and the XXL fits fine. I have the evening stand brown and it works great in southcentral PA

Call her for sure! She makes them "custom" and did a great job on mine. Fits perfectly!

Roger, you didn't read my post completely. I said USPS received the electronic shipping information, not the package. They can't ship what they haven't got.
