in store EG has a varied selection of quick release and traditional (usually sterling hardware) cowhide belts. if you emailed them they'd prob send you some photos. the QR belts are mid $100s and the sterling silver buckle belts are around $250 if i recall correctly...

For those hurting from EG prices, I seem to remember you can get nylon quick release belts for super-cheap (like $10-$15?). Plastic buckle, I'm sure, but I think they looked pretty cool.

recent purchase:
EG WorkadayBlue Oxford Stripe BD Shirt: size medium.

Usually I wear a M in EG shirts but this one seems a bit baggy? Shoulder fit is fine just a bit long and baggy. Maybe that's how the shirt is supposed to be worn? Thoughts?

The sleeves look too long and I'd say that it's a bit too big on the shoulders for you too. If it was a more casual shirt, such as a flannel, then I think you could get away with it but with an OCBD I think it needs to be a bit more fitted, even when it comes to EG.

Thanks for your feedback beedub. Yeah your right with regards to OCBD fitting. It should be more fitted and not as wide and baggy at the bottom like this one is. It's not very flattering from the side and I'm quite slim..Thanks for the reassurance beedub

Will return and replace with a Gitman Bros shirt I've been eyeing up :)

Yeah that's my concern too. As an object it's awesome and I love it. But the overall effect in practice may not be optimal. I may cave and get it anyway though :)
