Max Mara

Italian numeric sizing is standard, so an Italian 42 corresponds roughly to a UK 10 or a US 6. Outerwear is drafted with real layering room, which means a coat in your usual size will already clear a jacket underneath and does not need sizing up. Knitwear and dresses run closer to the body. Because so much of the tailoring is deliberately generous, compare the listed shoulder and chest measurements rather than sizing by feel.

Camel hair has a distinctively soft handle and a faint, slightly irregular sheen, and the fibre is naturally that colour rather than dyed to it, so the shade shifts subtly in daylight. Wool dyed to camel looks flatter and more uniform. The composition label is definitive, since camel hair is usually blended with wool or cashmere and stated by percentage. Weight is a clue too, as camel-hair blends feel dense without feeling stiff.
