Not sure how many New Englanders there are on here but the Barbour outlet in Merrimack, NH has a bunch of EG Barbour pieces at 50% off. Mostly s/s pieces - only had the black wax Cowan for f/w. I copped a Navy Warby jacket. Will fit pic soon.
Damn I’m gonna check that out. Thanks for the tip.

So how do the white leather / white suede and white leather / white hair EG x Vans slip ons fit? Got a lil extra cash and finally going to kop a pair off Yahoo auctions. I got a size 9 in vans slip ons for summer no socks and a size 10 for winter wid socks. I"d prob wear them without socks, or really small socks to protect the inside leather..

9.5 - 10 should work for you. I went up half size from the suede/leather iteration and still found them tight, similar in sizing to the leather/suede check version.

Hows the fit on the Cowen? Fairly loose/in-line with other FW19 outerwear?

I took advantage of TBB's sale, and picked up a Cowen Waxed Jacket in Navy. If you can find one in your size, it's worth it. After handling one of these in person I'm surprised so many sat around until sales season.

To answer my own question, it's a great outerwear cut with a little room for a layer or two, but not overly loose or baggy.

I just wish the cowen jacket was longer! If I want a nice foul weather coat I kinda demand it cover my butt.

I recommend sizing up a full size from your usual or previous. I bought the Navy/Black leather/hair combo in size 9 from 2019 and it fits way too small (can squeeze my foot in them, but that's it!).

I have the mismatch suede/leather black/white check from SS18 in 9 which fits perfect with thin socks. I also have the SS17 in 9 and that was also a perfect fit in grey and white iterations - the only exception was a navy pair which did not fit in 9 or 10 (might be a trend there!)
