@modual @blue peter I have the olive sweater knit interliner from last season. I really like it layered under outerwear - I wear it the most with my Our Legacy MA-1. I try to only wear it in situations where I know I will be leaving it on - because once you remove your jacket you usually get a few "What is that?" remarks from people.

I'll post one soon! Just starting to get cold enough here to layer.

Assuming the knit interliner is the same style as last year's -- when I first saw it on-line, I thought it was a really cool piece and thought I may have missed out on it, until I found one locally. When I tried it on, I really did not care for it (especially at full retail price). It is solely a layering piece, but most everything except the heavy outerwear in the EG lineup can be viewed as a possible layering piece. And I found the knit interliner only good as a layer. As mentioned above, it looks silly without anything over it.

I got the Hooded Interliner from FW14 in brown fair isle. Yes, it's a layering piece, and it goes well with pretty much anything given how short it is. If you're too self-conscious for someone to see that you're wearing a dickie, then a dickie isn't for you.

Fully agreed. Almost evrything is about self conscious to a certain extent.

My FW15 navy piece is on the way. I think it looks nice over just a shirt too.

Which jacket is this called from the FW14 collection? I tried doing a search over the net and forums and didn't find much. Thanks in advance guys.

 

[kingguru]

the jacket is a "knit blazer in olive jersey" as indicated in the FW14 catalogue here: http://www.nepenthes.co.jp/brands/2014fw/eg.html

you might consider using nepenthes' catalogues for future reference as they've all got the garments list appendix.

and you're welcome.

Fair warning - that knit/ jersey jacket looks so much better in the lookbook than in the wild (less shiny, weird cut, more "sweater", stretch-y). The styling with the cool knickers helps as well. Sizing on those jackets also is a bit weird (small) for my taste.

 

[eluther]

Unlike mbaum, I really like the material itself – have the cardigan in it. Think it's a really rich shade that pairs well with every shade of brown. However, he's right about the cut being weird. I think the model in the lookbook is sized up

Those knit jackets are terrible. Arms, body are too short. The chest and waist are oversized. They even look ****** styled on nepenthes right now.

I've been considering the interliner and perhaps a good way to think about it is more of an accessory like a scarf or shawl - something to layer on a cold day for added warmth outdoors but then remove when you get inside. less weird "wtf is that?" looks! haha
