Garbstore has been the first shop in Europe to put EG online for the last couple of years. I am now looking at the Fatigue pants....they're definitely slimmer, but still too baggy for my taste. I'd never wear such trousers in an urban environment.


I'll find out in the next couple of days how they fit as a pair of fatigues are on the way to me :happy: From what I've seen they don't look as baggy as the USN pants from SS11, which I also have.

I size up, but just because, for me, EG jackest are too smaller in chest when I try my regular size.

By the way, sizing up, I find the sleeves are too longer.



 



Yes thats exactly how it was for me. I have to cuff the sleeves so it won't look to long which I don't mind.

Nice, please share your thoughts on fit and fabric when you get them. What color did you go with?

I'll be getting the khaki ones first, I've also ordered the olive ones which I'll have to wait a bit longer for...

Context has their stock online. Grabbed the work shirt in natural.

The navy shooting jacket looks awesome, not sure if I could pull it off though. Wished they would have picked up the Douglas in olive.

thanks for this ... grabbed the same shirt in small. according to their measurements, sizing looks consistent with ss11 at least with the olive CPO and polka dot workshirt

The mismatch flip-flops are a little more mismatch than I was expecting:

^agreed, if the sole/footbed matched and just the straps were different I think I would like them.

By the way, does it get warm enough in Toronto (Jonathan+Olivia) to warrant flip flops? I was under the impression that most of Canada is pretty cold most of the time.

Anyone have any experience ordering from johnathan+olivia? I am in the US and called and sent them an email inquiring about ordering some sale items from this season. Their reply was that at this time they are not authorized to sell EG either via online, email, or phone order... :confused:

I ordered an EG shirt from them via email, but it was a couple of years ago (12/09. Just checked the email for you.)

Agreed. And quote "Unfortunately, we are not approved to sell Engineered Garments on the J+O
online shop or via any other method at this time."

Doesn't make any sense, especially since they are so adamant about advertising how the spring EG shipment is now online. Additionally, when you click on each EG item it says "To purchase please send an email to [email protected]"
