I'm not sure I understand EG.

The texture and features of the garments are incredible, but on the most part the fit is so boxy and unattractive I cannot fathom forking out £100s on an item in their range.

Any cat explain this sheeyit?

I can respect that.

It's strange that they seem to fit the models really nicely, with no lagging sleeves and billowy bodies. I haven't seen this emulated in various forum fits.

Well the modles in that picture all appear to be a little bulky, which would explain the fit. Most of the people posting on this forum are rather small and slim.

I'm pretty sure the intent is to have the garments be very "authentic" in their emulation of vintage stuff, so it's not given a more modern cut. However, if you size down, they tend to fit a bit less boxy. And EG pieces usually just fit well.

most those models are wearing items that are too small, sleeves look way too short on at least 2 of the jackets.

The model in the centre looks like he's about to split that bedford, and the model third from the left would not be able to button his jacket. Not the EG fit at all.

I'd like to second Woofers above - where the heck can I get a Norfolk, preferably in grey herringbone? It looks like Berlin Report has them in brown windowpane. Where in the US are they, and are any in LA?

I just got my small grey diagonal twill workshirt from Chip. It fits great, and I'd say the sizing is very similar to last year's flannels. Beautiful shirt.
