Can't decide if I should cop the work jacket. :/
Any opinions? Wish I could try it on

I always think the styling from those JP websites so great. Really makes me want to turn a page and wear everything EG et al

my opinion is if you like it and can afford it , what's stopping you from buying it .. ?
I paused too long for the xxl herringbone at the Bureau , and when it went I was gutted ..

If you're in the US you can order stuff from Nepenthes, obviously. Apart from those listed above, check catchh's extremely handy list of EG stockists - many of the Japanese stores also carry Needles. For example:

Kink have a few SS14 pieces up already
Takanna usually have a decent buy
MAPS has some pieces in size L (unlike most Japanese stores, which may be useful if a piece runs small, or for larger dudes)
C-Shack

One that probably falls under the radar is Alpoa as they don't stock EG. They also carry pieces in size L.

Anyone know if they made a hooded dickie this season? And if so who may have it in stock?

I have a feeling you're looking for one of the poly versions, but they did made a cotton hoodie version this past f/w. It was available in black, grey and blue:

I got mine from Drinkwater's near the start of the season but I saw one pop up on y!jp recently in grey (sorry can't find it now..)

Pros:
- The neck opening is pretty narrow, which helps keep the wind out
- Very thick fleece-y fabric

Cons:
- Pointy hood
- Fabric seems like it's going to pill really quickly

Thanks @TWorksheets and @Wesley Scott. I was actually looking for the sweatshirtish/knit one you have twork. I'm going to send an email to nepenthes and see. Any tips on how to search for it on y!jp. I was trying to find one the other day but I think there was some translation issues. My guess is I probably should have started looking for it a lot sooner this season. Oh well!

I've been seeing it mentioned throughout the thread, but is the Herringbone Bedford a size larger than usual or is it TTS?

For those that have bought it, can you give insights on whether you bought it TTS or a size down? And can you comment on the fit?

I don't own the HB Bedford, but tried it on and I would say it fits larger than other Bedford models. It seems to have more room in the shoulder area; I sized up to Med on my Bedford from FW12, but would buy my TTS small in the HB Bedford.

[Lendo]

The HB fits significantly larger than the Uniform Serge Bedford. Having tried both on I'd say you could size down for the HB model.

 

[thekunk07]

.5 size bigger than a flannel andover I'd say

 

[Fycus]

the thought of kunk wearing eg gives me the weirdest boner

Thanks for the reply guys. I appreciate the advice.
