Man, @ManofKent
 , that's really good. I tried on those fishermans and, while i thought they are crazy good, could not imagine what to do with them. I love how simple and great your fit is.

Me, I got more shop coats ... x-post from WAYWT

Thanks.

The shop coat is a piece I'm regretting not jumping in on.

This looks effortless. It also convinces me that not wearing a watch is acceptable.

Idk, there's a lot of flexibility in terms of wearing a bedford You could wear it large in a more casual way like Abdul does here, or with a bit of cuff showing and a little bit cropped like with a more traditional jacket

In my opinion, Abdul is wearing the Bedford as it should be. The other, WRONG! The idea behind Bedford is relaxed, not a sausage skin.

 

[HelloFello]

In my opinion, both ways are right. If you take the "right size" that you wear for Bedford and take that same size to a Baker/Andover, you're gonna get that cropped and fitted look, and you take that same size back to a Bedford/Landstown(LDT) jacket, it'll feel a lot more relaxed in comparison. So essentially, there's no right way because all the EG blazers will give you different fits. I don't think that Daiki intended for any of us to size up or down within the different models in the same season/collection.
And in all honesty, there are some of us that may not be able to achieve that "right fit". Some of us that spends enough time in the gym that have over developed shoulder and arms will never be able to find a EG blazer that will sit relaxed on us without sizing up to a point that the blazer looks too long for our height.

The Indigo and Cotton model would look better, if he just unbuttoned it. Especially if it's a spring/summer look, an unbuttoned Bedford looks fine to me. I can understand wanting to be able to comfortably button a fall/winter Bedford, though.

It's about the overall vibe. Sometimes fitted may look better than relaxed, depending on the rest of the outfit.

 

[HelloFello]

Exactly, different models of the EG blazers are meant to fit differently. To lump everything into "skin sausage" is a bit much. It's like those people that we all know that goes around bashing on "hipsters" lol.

 

[Cotton Dockers]

So many good fits so far, but for the sake of participating in a good man's challenge, I'll post what has basically become my daily business casual fit:



Casual Jacket (EG)
OCBD (Kamakura)
Belt (Equus)
Chinos (EG)
Suede Shoes (Alden)

Do you not think that the sleeves look far too short on him?

I would definitely prefer the look with longer sleeves on that guy. His sleeve length actually bothers me more than the tightness of the jacket, but that's a personal preference.

I was really just commenting on the tight vs. loose styling of a Bedford. If you're going to go with a tighter Bedford, then I think it's better to keep it unbuttoned. Beyond the ability to hem Bedford sleeves very easily, I also think you also can get away with longer sleeves on a Bedford more easily than shorter sleeves.

 

[Caveat]

Agree with Drinkwaters. The jacket is way too short for that dude.

 

[LAtty]

Obviously a personal preference, but I disagree with the above. I like the sleeves on the Bedford short.

 

[NXNW]

Nice timing on this sizing back n forth. I unfortunately just learned my Bedford order from Independence would be canceled since their last M was spoken for. They recommended a L but I already have this seasons baker and it fits perfect so I'm passing. I think your body type limits/opens up ways you can wear them. Being 6'1 170 keeps them sleeves short!

Yes, sir. Dark navy high count twill.
