Some items from farfetch.com are here (usually who American Rag sells through). These items, however, are located in London. Who's the stockist in London? Some nice pieces, however. That striped Tab Collar is money.

i kind of like the patch pockets, they came in handy while i was running around during fashion week, i liked the option of switching which side to put a pocket square in. while the irving jacket also is well-designed i feel like the symmetry of the pockets gives a little edge to an otherwise prep staple, so when worn in the context of something dressy it looks cool.

Was it available in brown at the nyc store? How thick/warm is it?

Yes brown too. It also comes in a olive green color in a material that is similar to a fine covert fabric. I'm thinking of getting the navy one so. I just love navy.

just to help out, if any of you in smaller sizes are hoping to buy the grey herringbone ashfield, you might be out of luck.

the small fits huge, what looked like a large on me (maybe a medium)

nepenthes didn't have an xs but honestly judging by the small i don't know that it would have fit me anyway.

really only small and x- small wearers would suffer. a medium and up can just size down one.

Did you happen to try on the cord version? It will really suck if the xs navy cord does not fit me, the fit pic that timbo posted of that asian dude from rakutan looks pretty slim, and he's usually a small, no?

The cost of those jackets in Japan is insane.

the problem, if you will, was only with the grey herringbone. this is quoted directly from angelo. when i about to try it on he told me it wouldn't fit off the bat, and they didn't have an XS so i could tell.

i did try the brown cord one on and as much as i wanted previous to trying it on, i was kinda turned off by its boxiness. i was hoping it would be a little more svelte but it made me feel a little too boxy to be really into it.

i'm somewhat short so that might have something to do with it. if you're a bit taller than I it might not pose too much of a problem

Thanks JO3B, So you werent happy with the fit of the cord in Small? or did you also try the xs and not like the fit either? Or, as I'm guessing, you tried on the cord in Small, didnt like fit and they also didnt have XS in the cord, right? I just want to make sure because if even the cord xs is too boxy then Im not even going to bother scouring the earth for it since afaik nobody in NA is carrying it.
