Did you try on this seasons bedford? Size L fit you?


Not sure they said everything ran small this season but I found it more TTS, just no room for layering. I came in right before store closing but I can check again soon.

I'm also on the fence about the size. I'm a XS in all the EG shirts. Hence, not sure if I should stay on XS or upsize to S on the Baker.

I have the Charles pant in heather grey oxford. Great pants. Really nice summer weight fabric. think of it as a thicker, oxford shirting fabric. It's a little rough, feels a bit like linen almost (but it's 100% cotton of course).

I own a lot of USN pants from previous seasons, not a big fan of the slimming down the last season or two. Can anyone comment on this seasons fit?

Thanks. That was pretty much what I imagined, now I got it confirmed. It's the heather grey oxford that i'm most interested in as I think they're the most versatile. Would you agree? I believe grey in pants goes well with most other colors. Interested in hearing how this season fit as well. FW13 USN in sz 30 fits me spot on uncinched.

Very versatile fabric and colour for sure. The charles pant will get a ton of wear this coming season.
Also curious about the navy pima USN, Pima cotton is usually great.
Now I might have to justify another navy USN purchase..

Tried on the Daytons today. Chambray and hippie foulard are tts if wrinkles are ironed out basket weave is about a half size short. I was actually pretty disappointed in the fit this season, definitely weird. The chambray is a really crappy starchy fabric that theve been using with their workshirts but with a steam or fabric softener it's ok. I picked up the chambray Dayton, looks better as a mid layer than the basket weave


I really like the fit on the Dayton this time around. Find the crispness of the chambray interesting and makes it sit nicer as a midlayer than the softer cotton/linen or herringbone ones they'd done in the last few seasons.

Anyone know if any stockists in LA have XXL jackets? Or really anywhere on the planet besides bureau?

Really want a pair of the rip stop fatigues. If anybody's interested, I've got a BNWT pair of FW13 navy duck fatigues in size M I'd be willing to trade. They're amazing, just too warm for where I live.

Oh, if anyone is wondering how durable the rip stop is, I've done over 1,000 miles cycling in my SS11 (I think?) rip stop fatigue shorts and probably washed 50-100 times. Only had one tiny and hole in the pocket, then my u lock ripped the back pocket (no fault of the shorts). Plan to keeping riding many more miles in them.
