    Divide the cost by 5 and you get close to the true value. Even more for Cabourn as his mark up is higher.

    Any idea who makes the surface and aircraft jackets?

    Good interview that. Particularly the comments on the cost of manufacturing.

    I can't see any green. Looks a standard beige tan in all the photos I've seen.

    Waxed cotton generally doesn't breathe well. Both jackets are seriously heavy weight. I highly doubt they are breathable, but that's not what they are designed for. I have a Freeman Sporting Club 8.5oz waxed cotton, wool lined parka which is very substantial - I personally wouldn't want...

    Exactly. That's why I didn't get the relevance of the post. Virtually the same weight and neither are breathable.

    Waxed cotton isn't breathable either.

    Search online. Bennos buttons sell a nice white corozo fisheye. You can buy vegetable ivory buttons on ebay too.

    Engineered Garments FW 14

    'I really like EG flannels' is hardly bashing. I usually buy an EG flannel every winter, but not this season as none of the colours appeal. My EG navy/tan/white flannel is still one of my favourite shirts, but I do wish they would use natural buttons. I sew on my own corozo buttons because I...

    It was a response to posts regarding the flannels a few pages back. Not that I need to justify myself to you, you do not own this forum. I don't need to be 'solicited' to reply to a post. What a ridiculous statement. I must have offended you because you sell EG. Jesus wept.

    MOP isn't suitable for thick flannel. Makers in Japan use white corozo, buffalo horn, brass etc. I agree, cheap plastic buttons are not what you expect at that price point.EG have always used plastic buttons for their work shirts.

    I own EG flannels and flannels by Japanese repro brands like Sugar Cane, Deluxeware and UES. The Japanese brands are superior and cheaper. Look up Deluxeware and UES heavyweight flannels. The price is around £100-£120. Sugar Cane are even cheaper £60-£80 and very good quality. I really like EG...

    Are you implying a Donegal wool hand-framed roll neck is worth £365? I like the flecks in Donegal wool, I have used it in garments I have had made, but it's not that expensive even when buying in small quantities. You can buy the finest Donegal wool for one jumper for £60-80. The roll neck...
