Engineered Garments Fall/Winter 07

Regarding sizing; I am between an L and an XL, I sized up to an XL and the shoulders fit spot on, chest accommodates layering. I am adding 1-2 inches of waist suppression to remove the last vestiges of boxiness , but overall I recommend sizing up unless you want it slim fit like a sport coat or something.

It's in the far back corner closest to Pine Street, and opposite to the Varvatos stuff.

Unfortunately, no US retailers are carrying the M41 jacket. Could someone please recommend a Japanese retailer that does domestic mailorder and has size large? I hope to have a Japanese friend order one for me.

Hmm, was just at the Lafayette St. shop and no luck. I got an e-mail from EG saying no US retailers on this one. Will have to check the 11th St Odin to make sure.

Regarding the M41's, when I was in Odin Lafayette last month saw them there, but they were from SS07, pretty much in all sizes. I'm guessing those are the ones Poly's referring to.

Well just got back from my trip to NYC. Visited the two ODINS; One beside Den and one on Layfette (sp) Street. Both had a very good selection of EG products. Layfette had more obviously. Pieced included;
-Norfolk (melton wool)
-Bedford (wool)
-Parka (Blue)
-Fishing Jacket (Tan)
-BD shirts
-Zip Hoodies
-Photograph Vest
-Wool Vest (not sure name of it)
-Engineered Jacket (melton wool)

I had my heart set on the Norfolk jacket, but the sizing is really really slim. I'm usually a small / medium in EG, but I ended up going to a LARGE for the Norfolk. And even then it was too TIGHT. I was wearing a tshirt, and i knew I couldn't layer it with a sweater. I'm a 38 chest, shoulders are a tad on the broad side, so I had very little arm movement with the large. I tried XL, and it was just too long and draped wrong. The large was a good fit for me in the length but just again still too tight.
The Bedford was nice. Material was good to the touch, and medium fit okay except for the draping arms. Was not too big of a fan of the double pockets so I passed on the jacket.
Lastly I tried on the Engineered Jacket (Melton Wool), good fit, not as many details as the Norfolk but I picked it up. I will post pics later.
I still don't understand why the Norfolk sizing is so off. Is it suppose to be a slimmer jacket? Everything else in a medium fits fine for jackets.

Could anybody post pics of the Engineered Jacket being worn? Also, what's the price point on it? Sorry, I've been browsing this thread but I couldn't find the details. I don't care what season it's from, hell if you know a store that has a previous season one on sale that would be awesome too. Thanks!

Hejfina just put up the brown bedford, the grey western shirt, and cinch pants on their site. Unfortunately they're all out of certain sizes already, like a 32 for the pants

Hey Irbe,

Can you post the details on the Engineer's Jacket? What size and measurements? How many pockets does it have outside and inside? What kind of buttons? Thanks.

Yeah, they got this stuff in over 2 weeks ago. So it's been up on the racks, just not online.

i had an earlier post about the length of the engineer's jacket....is the length of the bedford the same as the engineer's? if so, im thinking i could pull off a medium

I have both, and the Engineer is just a touch (less than an inch) longer than is the Bedford. But, of course, my (latest) Engineer is from FW06, and my beford is FW07so there may be some differences.

im close to pullin the trigger on a bedford....

but its tough deciding whether to cop the bedford, or wait to see the norfolk and engineer's jacket in person...which is the most versatile in ppl's opinions...or better yet, if you could only have one, which would it be?

The Engineer is the most versatile, by far. The notch collar makes it easy to wear. By comparison, the Norfolk is a little busy, a little too detailed for many. The Bedford is also very versatile, but I would say that the peaked lapels and button back latch make it a little less versatile than is the Engineer.
