[timpoblete]

Here are some more detailed photos of Gary's selections: 19th BD Tartan Shirt (picked this one out for myself and the red version seems to have sold out @ Peasant):

Vintage Oxford Cloth Workshirt (Black) (Note: This one has sold out in a several of the JP sites already):

Banded Collar Shirts (Blue Strip and Grey Chambray):

Olive Corduroy Bedford:

Black Photographer's Vest:

The olive cord bedford is terrific. I've tried it on, and the medium is spot on for a 48 Eu. It is a really rich color, and good for people in warmer climates (perfect of CA winters, for example)

I've also tried on the cord bedford, but in the khaki colour. The fit is awesome. Nice tight shoulders. Really hope that Gary recieves extra herringbone bedfords!

Does anyone know where else the tan cord Bedford is being stocked? I tried one on today at Barney's and it changed my opinions on corduroy, but it looks like I'll be paying closer to $450 after taxes if I get it from them.

Also, does anyone know if the wool pants in EG's lookbook (picture below) were ever put into production? Are any stockists in the U.S. going to them have it if so? I haven't found any information in regards to them.

Are the grey herringbone bedfords available in SF yet? Thanks!

I'm guessing they won't be available until September, like everywhere else. There's more info a couple pages back into this thread.

The pants in the phoths are the Knick pants. The hit just below the knee and I suppose you're supposed to wear high socks with them. They'll probably go out the same time that the bedfords go out, since they're made of the same material.

Thanks. Those could be tough to pull off well, but I'm half-tempted to anyways

I just received the photographer vest from Brian (Peasant), and it is incredible. The construction is top notch--not such a surprise from EG, but it looks like the fits have become considerably slimmer this season as well. So it looks like the last excuse to downplay the greatness of EG, i.e. "boxyness," is gone.

And now I've gone and ordered the shawl vest and the binocular shirt off Hejfina. This thread is dangerous.

What do you wear the photographer vest with? pics of it worn?

I've noticed that as well with the outwear pieces - the shirts seem to be about the same as they've been in previous seasons though. Even then, the sizing is still inconsistent across all of the pieces

You'll love the shawl vest. It's fairly thick and heavy for what it is.

Just snapped this quickly wearing a cheap RL plaid flannel from FB and Flat Head 5100s (apologies for the wonky angle). I'm sure it can go with a wide range of casual looks, but I plan to dress it up more often than not. I bought a pair of brown tweed trousers from Lance at VCH that are perfect for this. Then with solid shirts, maybe a wool tie with a tartan.

Here's a reverse shot. It shows the (tripod?) pocket running diagonally across the back that some people might like/dislike:
