Could you post a picture of it by any chance? Some pictures I've seen of it, it looks shiny and a lighter shade of khaki, while in others it appears to be a darker colored khaki.

I wouldn't agree that it is shiny. It's the perfect basic and a neutral color as well. Quintessentially Summer!

My best guess for you is to get the small (don't know how tall you are). I got the small - I'm 6'2" and for a summer pant the length is fine in my opinion. The waist with the adjusters open is slightly larger than the USN size 32.
I just bought a pair in medium, they are lightweight 100% cotton which suprised me as they look like they have some nylon in them. Size wise I got them as 88cm across with tabs unfastened which I shade over 34 waist. I'd say tabs closed is around 32. Think you could wear S or M if you are a 32 waist.


Edd & Grainer - thanks for the help! Iooks like S is the way to go for me with these.

Hey,
Was curious what proxies you guys use and if there's one you especially recommend? I can pretty much get all my EG in the U.S. because of the NYC store, but there's a lot of other great stuff that I'm looking to get from overseas.
Anyways, to contribute to the discussion, these are the pieces I'm really feeling this season. (I know there's a lot, but I think all of these pieces are seriously class!

Anyone tried on the paisley bedford? Comments on fit?

Its kinda growing on me, though it may be a bit too 'look at me'

You mean the Baker? Or is the paisley available as a Bedford too? Anyway, Knight has it (Baker). I'd love some fit pics!

^ I've been wondering about those, I've seen photos of McNairy and Daiki wearing them together. Kinda want the chambray one but not sure when I'd ever actually wear it.

To my awareness, yes. I've seen pics of Daiki/Mark wearing them on the old Nepenthes blog a year or two ago.

Layering piece, perhaps. Great if you're into that whole flowing, long skirt steez.

You're right I do have that jacket. It's not too look at me, but i think the colour of the jacket balances out the print. It's a great piece to wear. I have a lot of fun wearing this. In terms of fit stay TTS, this is my first Baker jacket and its quite darted at the waist.

What im also wearing: Round collar shirt > navy red/white mini polka dot, neck tie > navy large red/white polka dot, Fatigue short > Chambray blue

curious about those fatigue shorts...I picked up the Baker in the navy broken twill and it says dry clean only. Is it the same for the shorts? Guessing it's the same fabric but that seems strange for shorts.
