^ Yep that's it! Those are the 3. Drove me mad trying to decide which to choose. In the end it was the red part that got me. Nice find Mike :)

Would you say this is too long for me? Obviously I can where it with a sweater as well. I got the arms shortened.

Personally I think all the EG blazers look the best when worn casually, so I don't judge it how I'd judge a formal blazer (where the blazer fall in relationships with the thumbs, etc.) With that said, looking at the picture without seeing how it looks compared to your entire upper torso and legs, I'd say it falls to the longer side, imo.

It's a Bedford, correct? The only rule with EG is that there is no rule. Some guys like it big and slouchy, some of us like it a bit more fitted (Me included). The picture might not tell the full story but it looks like you could also pull off one size down in it. EG jackets are usually a tad on the cropped side. But it all comes down to how you would like to wear it. If you feel good about the slightly oversized look, then all is good.

Thanks for your reply! I got it off ebay. It didnt say which model. But someone told me its the engineer jacket. I am not sure myself.
Yes the oversized look is ok with me. Its perfect in the chest.could not have been more tight. I think it maybe works best with the neck rolled up and a sweater underneath.

They did a good job on shortening the sleeves. It looks a longish jacket - but it looks fine.

^ I'm also in the fitted camp. It dioes look abit longish to me. But, more importantly, it's the image & identity that you wanna achieve. If you feel good & confident, that's good enough, IMO.

Baloon pants and EG x Vans. I've been wearing the kalamkari pants with either a plain t-shirt or the tan banded collar shirt. [COLOR=A74345] [/COLOR]
That's a great look and fit on those pants. If I owned them that is how I would style. How did you size them compared to how you size other EG pants?

Thanks. It took some time getting used to. Even with a t-shirt, it´s a very daring look specially in the town I live in.

I wear 36 in all of the EG Pants I have, and M for Workaday chinos. I bought a M.

Mind if I ask what the actual waist measurement is? (I carry a few more pounds than you :embar:)
