Good stuff all ... in particular, @ManofKent , I really like the Lafayette Pants. Had avoided them because I thought they'd be too baggy near the hem but they look good there.

Who needs to wait until FW15 for black and grey EG fits?

FW13 - Cruiser Jacket - Grey All Wool Herringbone
FW13 - Tab Collar Shirt - Printed Floral / Grey
FW14 - Tux Pant - Black Velveteen
Dr. Martens

Do you guys usually size down for EG Workaday Utility Jackets?



Went TTS on mine. Sateen shrinks a bit in wash, I wouldn't size down.


I bought the bedford cord Utility Jacket not long ago in my regular XL size. It's much bigger than my XL Bedfords in terms of measuremetns but they are intended to fit differently.

I really regret missing out on that floral over vest. My biggest regret of the EG season. If anyone knows where I can find one in Size Large, I would be so appreciative. Long gone from NNY.

Eluther, Thanks. I was wishy washy on the floral pattern early in the season. But then really got into it after seeing some photos on the web. By the time I got into the pattern, it was sold out.

I ended up loading up on the brown homespun and the brown/orange knit, though.
