The Andover is in between the baker and the bedford fit vice. But for me it is a casual jacket. Great with jeans and a shirt. I have both the plaid and the beige Andover and i have worn booth a whole lot. I'm actually considiring the F/W Andover since it's a classic for me.
My conclusion is; you can go either way, if you get the Andover, Bedford or Baker you will get a really good jacket. All of them are easy to combine and will get lots of wear for sure. If i were you i would think of which colour is the best, what would fit your wardrobe the best.
For example, i have the Birdshooter in Olive, a really great jacket - however, the olive, for me is a more casual street look colour - if you know what i mean.
Conclusion: No matter which jacket you choose from EG, as long as the colour is right you will be very happy. For me it started with the Andover....

OK, guess I'll go with the XS Andover in grey wool then, otherwise I'll go for the XS Bedford in grey wool, thanks again.

btw-anybody seen the wool poncho irl?

BTW, 4 pocket cardis fit pretty much like last year's. The weave on this season's I like a lot better. Bloomie's also had the Argyle Bedford, Olive USN Pants, Charcoal Newport Jacket, and a couple of others things I can't recall.

timpo, did you try on the newport? if so, how did it compare in size to the navy wool one, which i assume you must have tried on at AMRAG?

^^^The Wool HB Newport didn't keep it's shape as well as the Serge version. Other than that the shoulders and body seemed to fit the same.
