Pretty meh imo
I guess that depends if there's something in there that you would buy. For me, there was. I picked up a pair of Berkeleys on the 202 last in Dark Oak.

Sorry to annoy with a fit question, but I am new to EG and have just received some Belgravias in UK8/8.5E (184 last).

Brand new so the soles are stiff, but my heels do slip out quite easily.

Instep is good, toe-box is good.

I am a solid 8E for G&G Deco (but my loafer in this is a little loose) AM soft sq, etc.

Are they only going to get looser?!

I haven't bought loafers for ages so feel a little out of my depth with this and being new to EG.

I've got a week before I'd need to return them!

check it out. tongue pads.

The sale seemed decent to me.

I picked up a pair of the Shannon’s in redwood and Chelsea’s in burgundy on the 202. With the exception of my Galway’s, all my EG’s to date are dark oak (dover, Shannon, belgravia etc) or black so it’s time to venture out a bit.

I love my dark oak Shannon’s so much that I had to get a second pair. There isn’t a day that I wear them that someone doesn’t remark about how much they like them (usually when I sit down).

Also curious about the Chelsea on the 202. I’ve had a pair in black on the 82 for awhile and have loved the look but still not 100% certain that last fits my foot. My 202 Shannon’s though....very comfortable.

202 is a great last. Fits well and timeless. I prefer the 82 for the Galway but I think the 202 Chelsea is quintessential EG

That is poor form.
I asked. They told me it's to not undercut local retailers. I support the decision in that it brings the price to about parity between markets. I think it's poor form when the company undercuts the retailer because there is no room to compete then.
