I just checked and not much at all...I'd say 1/2" max.
Thanks a ton @Murlsquirl. I'm trying to decide if I can fit into a 50L (52L shoulders are too wide) - it's on buy/sell, so no returns.

I was thinking it would because my 50L field jacket fits great, but I see on NMWA's website that the field jacket in 50 has a larger chest measurement than the sportcoat in 50. Hrmmm

so good my man.. on my computer looks very much grey - do you find that the case?


I take back what I originally said and agree with CD...definitely brown. I'm wearing it today and it's awesome.

I think often called taupe, a brownish grey or grayish brown, which makes sense given the HB. So, it can work both ways.

That's the green Cappelli, right? Great tie.


It's makes for a great jacket.

Sure is.

Nice! Too much? Depends on the industry; if conservative, maybe too much, certainly might be overdressed if interviewing in the Bay Area for a tech job :)

...but for pairing, consider a light pink shirt and I'm thinking navy or burgundy grenadine tie, or blue twill shirt and navy grenadine; could even be a block stripe pattern grenadine.

Any suggestions, gents? It's a light grey glenplaid.

@NickPollica Antonio, is this a new trouser model? It appears to be similar to Sal but slightly lower rise and narrower, standard width waistband. Something like the NMWA suit trouser but with side tabs? Thanks for any info.

Fit is amazing. Had it brought in a bit but the arms and shoulders were perfect. I got the XXL from Nordstrom which is the same size I get in sweaters and Henleys. I'm 6'8" though.

This piece really is incredible.

Nope. Perfectly fine for an interview since the underlying dominant color is still grey. It's perfectly fine. I can't tell you how many dudes I have interviewed in my career come in with a straight up black suit.

I bought the crewneck sweater in XXL and it fits perfectly so I winged it with the unstructured blazer, assuming the sizing would work and it does. The Henleys, even in XXL are a bit short, but it's casual enough I don't mind. I'm 215 pounds and most of my height comes from my legs so I can fit into most of the Eidos casual wear in the largest size.

Sadly, None of the off-the-rack Eidos suiting works for me. I have one 56L blazer that I can wear with jeans, but it's a full two inches too short in length to work with trousers.
