Quick selection table (use → model → cut)
| Context | Model | Recommended cut | Size tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| City/everyday (0 to +10 °C) | Amelia | Slim/Regular | If thick sweater → Regular |
| Office & commute (0 to −5 °C) | Sten | Regular | Blazer + knitwear? take +1 if between sizes |
| Weekend / sport-chic (+5 to +12 °C) | Lively | Slim over shirt / Regular over hoodie | Choose based on thickness worn underneath |
| City break (cabin suitcase) | Amelia or Lively | Slim | Practical compressible versions |
Warmth depends on the down (quality/quantity) and the construction (baffles). The higher the fill power, the better the warmth-to-weight ratio.

Amelia or Sten for a windy winter?
Sten (mid-thigh) protects better against wind and provides more coverage. Amelia remains great for city life if you are frequently on the move.

On its own, it’s mid-season. In winter, wear it over a sweater and under a coat/parka.
I often wear a blazer: which fit?
Choose Regular (or +1 if between two sizes) to maintain ease in the shoulders.
Which colors last the longest?
Black, navy, olive, camel: easy to pair, timeless.
