^ That's an older workshirt. Not fake.

Thing is ancient for sure, pre 2006 if i recall they used the red label for a season or two

Can you guys help educate me about the EG Workaday olive reversed sateen fatigue, as I'm a noobie to EG. I called Nepenthes to buy a pair of the Workaday fatigues, and they are out of my size. The woman said they'd get more in a month with the AW order. She seemed to indicate that the Workaday line has a SS version of the fatigue and an AW version. I asked if the fabric and color would be the same, and she wasn't sure. I thought the Workaday fatigue stayed the same year in and year out. Can anyone shed light on this? Is the fabric and color the same throughout the year and from one year to the next? Thanks for any thoughts on this.

@bojocon Not sure if the fabric will change, but some places still have them in stock:

^ If I recall correctly, the fabric on the SS fatigues is a bit lighter than the FW versions.

Agreed, and a lot of places don't mark the season, so you could be picking up either season, any year.

Thanks for the info, but I'm still wondering if the pants change season to season.

View attachment 835021 I found an EG workshirt at a secondhand shop in New York. I've never seen a tag like this on any EG clothes - does anyone know why it's red? Is this just an old season?

Yeah, older tags. Should be real. You have a full pic?

Found this guy at a random secondhand store in Tokyo. Has this loop-around button closure that runs inside and outside the jacket (kinda like a kimono). I'm wondering if this jacket has a model name or season because I've never seen this before. Definitely the most interesting EG piece I've ever found.

I believe it's a Winthrop Jacket

Not sure the season, don't recognize the print

Are you in Tokyo now? I'm headed that way on Friday

We (Drinkwater's) have a full size run of Workaday Fatigues in the Olive Reversed Sateen. Can't remember if I've ever posted that up anywhere else, so just throwing it out there for anyone else that's looking. I'm wearing mine today with a crossneck tee and shawl collar cardi -- They're so comfy!

 

[tobiasfunke]

@CSCoHammers7 What's the fit like on the Crossneck Tee this season? And do you carry that in store?

The last time we carried them was SS16 (grey w/ a floral print, still on sale), so I can't speak for the SS17 fit as I haven't tried any on. Sorry! I'm sure someone else can chime in.

 

[Gantenbein]

i`ve seen it a couple of times on yahoo etc. I`ve seen a blue label as well

Here's a full pic - its in great condition given how old it should be.

Yeah, older tags. Should be real. You have a full pic?
