Why does all of EG's stuff make everyone look like they have a pot belly?
Such a weird cut...

Well, in my case, it's not the EG that makes me look like I have a pot belly. It's my pot belly that does

sateen and satin (which is probably what you're thinking about) are weaves. silk is what would give satin the shine, not the weave it self.

in other words, shiny should probably never be a problem with engineered garments

It's been said before, but the new Norfolk looks awful.

Sateen can also have a shine, although it's usually more of a dull eggshell than the shine of satin. IME (with stuff from J crew and Steven Alan, not EG) it dulls with wear.

I disagree! It has a lot going on and the old Norfolk may be better, but I like it.

Might be selling the brown windowpane helmut hat for $105 shipped, it's a bit too big. send a pm. It has the option of tucking the straps and back into the hat which looks a bit better imo.
