Just in at Oi Polloi, I wonder if they made a mistake regarding the 19C BD Corduroy polka dot priced at £155...
The field parka seems to be very nice, can't wait to try it out.

I'm expecting our buy in the near future so here's a rundown of what we're getting in:


Work Shirt in Brown / Blue Cotton Plaid - $204
Lafayette Shirt in Black Flanell Plaid - $192

Bedford Jacket in Gray Wool Harringbone - $528
Driver's Jacket in Black Ny/Co Ripstop - $432
Navy Flannel / Reverse Sateen Reversable Bal Coat - $744 (this thing is insane. I can not stress this enough)
Knit Jacket in Dark Navy Cotton / Wool Jersey - $420

Also included are 4 styles of the button shawl, 4 styles of beanies (2 quilted beanies, very cool), and some pocket squares I'll photograph what I get as it comes in

anyone ittk ? this seasons reversed sateen fatigues , they labelled say 32 / 34 / 36 or m/l/xl ?
is xl = 38" , or does the 36 come in at 38" ?


This seasons fatigues are labelled 30, 32, 34. SS13 fatigues were labelled S, M, L...
They also don't got the drawstring that SS13 had, but they have two front buttons instead just as the SS13 USN Pants. SS13 fatigues did not have that.

30 is actually 32 (waist unbuttoned = 32, buttoned = 30) I cannot confirm this but I'm guessing this is correct. SS13 was just like that, and OiPolloi's measurements seems to state that too.

Also very interested in the Reversible Bal Coat and I'm hoping to be able to run that as my main winter jacket. This might be a difficult question to answer but I'll give it a try as I'm so curious about it.. How thick and warm would you estimate it to be? If you were to wear a thick wool SNS Herning Stark cardigan or similar underneath, do you think you would manage say -5°F (-20°C)? As a reference I wore a cardigan like that with an EG wool duffle last winter in those degrees and it worked out just great but as this thing is in cotton and not wool it's probably not as warm? :/
Is it available in more colors or is it only the navy?

And how much are the button shawls? Thank you!

It's going to be warm but its not down insulated or anything like that. I'd consider it akin to a pretty typical peacoat, though much more stylish and the sateen side allows you to play with the functionality a bit. I bet you could layer up under it and be pretty good at five below. the wool will insulate nicely and the sateen side aught to be good for snow repellence. hit me up and I can see about reserving a size for you.

the shawls vary in price depending on fabric; there's a cotton twill option that doesnt quite break 100; most of our buy will cost 150. some of the more elaborate ones can reach past 2 (wool windowpane, etc.)

Can someone post a pic of the Reversible Bal Coat? My Google-fu is failing me at the moment. I'm definitely looking for a winter coat this year and I'm hoping EG can satisfy my requirements on warmth + style.
