Thank you very much, as always.

I really like the idea of the pockets on the gansey. I didn’t notice them if they were included on any previous versions.

The engineer jacket will be interesting to see with the reversed Bedford. I admired the cotton panama version on the site for a long time but I wasn’t confident about how I would wear it.

The pockets are new to the gansey. The crewneck had such pockets for quite a few years but the way they're achieved on the gansey is slightly more refined (and made easier by the lighter knit) and it seems to work well.

The engineer jacket has undergone quite a few changes, so while the fundamental construction is the same, and likewise the (no) collar, the body is shorter and the pockets are quite different. It must've been 5-6 years since we last developed it and it is fun to go back to earlier designs and apply what we've learned in the years since.

Have there been any updates to the boatneck? Also, any chance the body warmer will make a comeback?

We've made the rib section at the hem a bit deeper, but that's about it.

A balmy 39°F this morning in the Tampa Bay Area so just cool enough for some warm layers (at least until later in the day).

All very nice.

And the bodywarmer — maybe next year, but more likely the other after that.

I have a brand new trucker in black corduroy, size M that just showed up today. Unfortunately it is a little tighter than I would like. If there is anyone out there in the Bay Area (California) that would be interested let me know and we can arrange something. Trying to avoid shipping it back if possible.

Hey Paul,
Is there a chance that the grey peacoat will come back next year? Furthermore, when does SEH Kelly usually release a new colour?
Cheers

What are your normal measurements that this was too small?

I like a 22" chest so the 21.5" was a bit of a gamble and it ended up being a touch too tight for my liking @elfreeman

The peacoat — no, sorry. We will likely make it again in dark navy late next year, but at this stage, no other colours are planned or expectation.

And as for a new colour, if you mean the peacoat, then it tends to be every couple of years. We generally make the dark navy and then one other colour. Not every time, but perhaps every other time.

What are your normal shoulder measurements?

 

[exsence]

An 18" generally works for me I think the shoulders were okay definitely one thing to note is that the cloth is very thick and substantial without much flex so I think that also may have contributed to the woes

 

[elfreeman]

Ah I see, yeah I'm right at the edge of a medium or a large. Unfortunately I think I would be in the same boat as you.

I am also a "marge" at 6'1" and 170

If you're close enough you can give it a try, no harm in trying as long as you're not coming from a long ways away
