Outside of the Nepenthes family, off the top of my head, there's Monitaly, Post Overalls, Kaptain Sunshine, ts(s), OrSlow, S H Shirt, Auralee, Casey Casey, Margaret Howell, Evan Kinori, Nigel Cabourn, Arpenteur, Universal Works, to name a few in no particular order
I love Margaret Howell but always amused by how long their sleeves are sometimes.

I'm not that familiar with MH. I have a couple of their knits and love them. The sleeves are a bit long, but I have long arms, so it works out, and I just roll them up once. The few other things I've tried on didn't fit me at all

I love EG's loiter. The boxier fit works well for me because I have broad shoulders for my height. When it comes to alternatives, the two items in my closet that I think are comparable are a RandT studio jacket, a Monitaly jail jacket, an orSlow pajama shirt from a few years ago, and an orSlow "light simple work jacket" from this season.

This is a first. I'm guessing it's custom.

Yeah, nothing beats the loiter for me. Just the right amount of formal & casual for my office job.

Am i the only one that is starting to grow extremly bored by EG's (very) poor quality the 2 last seasons ?

Bought 2 deck pants in double cloth. navy and olive.
I barely worn them.They went through one cold wash and man... the color is just washing off.
Its not even fading at this point. its just plain white stains on the center of the thighs.

Im starting to see the same pattern with a heavy twill loiter jacket from 2 years ago.

I know EG's quality standards have downgraded, in every sense but I fear they've reached a step that I didnt expect them to be comfortable to go with.
I still love the design and the fit but lets face it, its becoming cheap.
Flogging a dead horse, but here's another example of how double cloth fades, showing similar wear lines

Oh no…I thought that was from washing and ironing too much. (I have no choice as I can’t do the freewheeling wrinkled look at work.) Bummer.
