If anyone tries on the Flight Jacket in cotton duck, I'd be happy to hear what temperatures it might work for. :)
That thing looks sick! That irregular Khadi fabric is amazing.

I just grabbed the Caleb zip jacket, but the whole collection looks great. I'd love to see a regular (not embroidered) version of those black Saphs someday, but I'm boring.

Love the Fola cardigan. Does anyone know the exact composition in it? The name "Fohair" sounds like it has Mohair?

The Ecodown filling makes it a strictly 40 and below jacket, that stuff runs extremely warm.
The flight jacket looks slightly less puffy (insulated) compared to the Ida, but it’s hard to tell for sure from the pics. Measurements show the flight jacket being more cropped and slightly wider too.

The cut and details look extremely similar to the Ida, but it has a different name after all so I’m not sure what the differences are between the two.

Does anyone have a pic of the Bacliff shirt in real life? Is it more white or cream?

The cotton on this jacket breathes much more than the tech fabrics we normally use with thermore so I’d say you could probably wear it into the 50s. Ran this hard through this whole london trip and I can’t recommend it enough.

I don't understand art at all, but


This needs context otherwise it looks like something i drew in kindergarten. When did they sell art?
For me it reminds me of the creative process that goes into something. Also, the nostalgia of Looney Tunes and fighting clouds.

an underrated benefit of the 18 East “size up” lifestyle:

when you put on a few pounds, “baggy fit” turns into “relaxed fit”

put on a few more, and “relaxed fit” turns into “regular fit” … at which point you know it’s time to get your **** together. but you can still wear your clothes

for a guy who has now hit his 40s and could stand to lose 15-20 lbs, this flexibility has been clutch

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
