Engineered Garments FW 15

Made my first F/W purchase, the cable knit leisure jacket.  Wanted to provide some pics in case it helps anyone with sizing:

I like it - very much like a knit Bedford with a pocket missing.

I originally wanted the grey tweed Bedford but I went in to Liberty at the weekend as I planned on getting the grey cable knit vest but I walked out with the Leisure jacket instead, which they'd only just got in. It's just so damn cozy. Really incredible piece. I'd echo what @Cotton Dockers said about sizing. The only caveat I'd add would be if you have shorter shoulders and arms for your size you may want to consider going TTS. I ended up going with the XL too as I need the extra room in the chest these days. The shoulders and sleeves on the L fit me a lot better but the XL didn't bother me as much as it normally does with EG. Quite enjoyed the fact that it was more like a slouchy cardigan.

Are the Fatigue pants running TTS this season?

Yeah – and they have side fasteners at the waist.

Anyone knows the difference between the Infinity Button Scarf & the Button Shawl?

Anyone knows the difference between the Infinity Button Scarf & the Button Shawl?

If you take a look at the pictures on TBB you can get a sense for the difference. The Button Shawl is a rectangular scarf that has buttons & button holes so you can connect it as a shawl. The infinity button scarf is a circular/loop scarf with buttons & button holes.

^ Thanks. I must take a closer look.

What's the general view size down or stay true on the highland parka? Normally a medium in EG but the small measurements look better, don't mind it a bit loose... Thanks!

Size one down.

concur - I believe the HP is meant to be "anti-fit" so somewhat baggy/bulky compared to, say, a field parka. also, it's winter outer wear so meant to fit some layers underneath. prob good idea to size down but still expect it to be roomy even one size down.

 

[bry2000]

Even a full size down, the parka is still very big, but that is the look.

As with any EG, I feel like you should wear your proper size - as it is meant to be worn a certain way. That jacket is supposed to fit very large, thats why its so awesome. Go TTS and embrace the anti-fit.

It's an age old complaint with EG that sizing does not stay consistent from season to season, which means that "proper size" becomes a moving target. To get around this, I don't size up or down, I just return or sell the product if it does not fit in my natural size. It is a drag to have to do that, but I end up wearing what I keep more often because the fit is right.

I own the highland parka in 20oz navy melton from last year and I went TTS with a large, and I love the way is fits. Extremely slouchy and over sized. Can fit pretty much anything underneath, but it still looks good regardless of if I choose to layer or not. One of my favorite pieces.

Interesting -- i have the same navy highland parka as you and I sized down one. I am a Large in every other EG piece and in some cases, the L is a little snug. The highland in Medium is still big enough that I could layer a shirt, vest, bedford and still have room for more layers.
