Can anyone place it? Season/make/sizing info? I know that patch ticket pocket looks familiar I just can't remember what jacket it is.


Irving Jacket for sure. Gonna guess FW10.

Agree with Steven, its the fw10 hb stripe worsted wool irving jacket, I have the matching fatigues
700

reg the irving, I owned one and would recommend it, it a really nice and casual 5 roll 2 jacket

reg this seasons fabrics, I'm really liking the olives (cord, moleskin and jersey knit)
also hoping the navy jacquard is as good as the grey ones from fw10 (and hopefully not as warm too) :foo:

some good timing as i stumbled into jackstraw and they just got their first f/w drop today. unfortunately i walked in 15 minutes before they closed so i didn't get to try on a lot but it all looked great. the moleskin navy bedford is gorgeous and feels (and looks) great with some nice stitching to add to it.


grey/navy work shirt is quickly becoming one of my favorite pieces of the season despite being relatively simple. looked great and the fit was wonderful.

the herringbone type 6 jeans looked great until i tried them on. very skinny to the point where i was i had to struggle for a second to put them on. i figured it was around a 7" hem which itself is surprisingly slim for EG but according to tbb it's only a 6.75" (on a size 30)

Anyone gotten to try on this season's fatigues? Indigo's measurements suggest they fit kind of tight, but Belfast's are TTS...

it's definitely fw10-fw11, but I think it looks surprisingly similarl to my Reversible Brookline jacket, the way the pockets are "sewn-on ish" to the torso, if it shows a similar styled pocket on the back side where the left hip would be, then for sure it's a Brookline, but CSCOHammers7 is right its definitely from 2010-11 era.

S, M, L and XL of the brown homespun Bedford already sold out at TBB. Not surprised.

Can anyone comment on sizing for Homespun Bedford this season?

I have reviewed dimensions from a couple of sites, but it obviously doesn't factor in the thickness of the fabric.

How does Homespun compare with Moleskine versus the Calvary Twill in terms of thickness?

Homespun Medium fit almost perfect in the chest while the Moleskine fit baggy. I tried the moleskin in a small but it was too tight. The fit felt pretty off. Bought the Homespun

I tried it on at Drinkwater's. I took an XL in S/S 14 Ripstop bedford. XL in the homespun worked fine for me. Bit more wiggle room for a sweater underneath- that's typical F/W EG though.


I tried emailing Nepenthes about who will be stocking certain items (considering Gary can't do pre-orders) and they told me they haven't got their master list yet. Suppose I have to wait it out.

What's the characteristics of homespun like? The herringbone wool jackets i have from eg are pretty elastic and stretchy. Same with homespun?

homespun is typically a loosely woven tweed, medium thickness, warm but breathable, also stretchy (I've had previous eg homespun baker and daiki-wwm upland)
