Also, I picked up a few EP sport coats this summer in the marketplace and eBay … one of which was the baby camel hair. Any suggestions on that one as well? Thinking olive herringbone flannel or the olive tweed. Would the mocha flannel be an option? Thanks so much!!


Camel hair jackets seem to be one of the most versatile things in a man's wardrobe (right up there with the ubiquitous navy blazer) as far as matching trousers to it goes. Mine isn't Epaulet (but am tempted to add theirs to my closet by one that is out there on the B&S forum) but I wear mine quite often in the fall and winter with navy, darker shades of brown, and even the occasional dark red cords. I have a pair of olive moleskins inbound that should pair nicely with it as well.

I have the Baby Camel Hair as well and usually wear it with a textured pant or navy/denim.

I was thinking about Olive Moleskin but I was worried that the camel hair and moleskin were too similar in texture....

I might go for the Olive Herringbone instead.

Quick iPhone picture. Navy heirloom cardigan and white loopwheeled tee.


Looks great! What size did you get? I'm usually a Medium in EPNY (fairly fitted for me, take a 38R jacket usually as well), but was thinking of snagging the Large Navy that's still in stock...

Thanks. I'm also a medium EPNY/ large EPLA and a 38R. This is a medium. I feel like this is a good slim fit. It's definitely fitted when buttoned up but I think it will break nicely. A large may work for a slightly more relaxed fit.

I am in the same boat and would second this opinion. The medium is def. a slim fit, which I like, but a large would have worked as more of a "chunky" look.

How long are your arms? I take a 33 sleeve in dress shirts (not super long) and medium sleeves are just barely long enough.

Stopped in the Manhattan store today and was amazed at how well the Doyle fit in a 40 and how good it looked. I didnt pick it up as I'm not convinced that I will really use that lightweight of a coat, but it was fantastic. May have to go back tomorrow.
