No — The Row men's runs large by design. The fits are intentionally relaxed and generous, so if you normally wear a medium in most brands, a small is often the right call. For trousers, check the actual waist and inseam measurements rather than relying on the tagged size. A tagged 32 in The Row men's trousers will often measure closer to 33 or 34 at the waist. When in doubt, ask the seller for flat measurements before buying.

Yes, and arguably more so right now. The women's line has stronger resale awareness — driven partly by specific accessories and dresses — which has pushed women's resale prices up. The men's line uses the same cloth quality but trades at lower secondary market prices because fewer buyers are actively looking for it. A men's double-face cashmere overcoat that retailed for $4,000 or more can be found secondhand for under $1,000. That gap has been narrowing but hasn't closed.

The Row's minimal branding actually makes authentication somewhat straightforward. The interior labels are cleanly printed with consistent typography — no bleeding, no uneven spacing. The fabric should feel substantive and even; cashmere pieces should be dense and soft, not thin or slightly rough. Stitching on seams should be tight and consistent. The men's line is not heavily targeted by counterfeiters compared to the women's accessories, but if a coat or cashmere piece is priced dramatically below market, ask for additional photos of the label, interior seams, and care tag before committing.

Focus on the collar, cuffs, and hem first — these are where abrasion shows earliest on a wool or cashmere coat. Check the lining at stress points (armholes, pockets) for any separation or wear. Double-face cashmere coats can develop slight surface wear if the owner stored them compressed or folded rather than hanging; this usually shows as a subtle flattening of the nap that photographs as an uneven sheen. Ask specifically whether the coat has been dry cleaned, since improper cleaning can affect the hand of the fabric.
