I went by a local store and EG stockist here in Victoria called Outlooks today, after they received their SS'13 EG stock yesterday. Off the top of my head, they had the dark navy cotton pique Bedford, a navy jersey Baker, a tab collar floral shirt, the hula girl shirts in both colourways, some graphic tees with both polkadots and diamonds screen printed on them, the navy striped shawl collar cardigan, and a couple other shirts that escape my memory. I picked up the navy Bedford in cotton pique, which I was really hoping they would have. For that piece, the fabric is nice and light, and the fit is spot on.

doo-bop (japan) has a couple work shirt exclusives for ss13, including this blue/red gingham that i copped last night. i love how this two color gingham micro pattern looks purple from a distance, but you can see the blue/red detail up close.

shipping to the US is 2200yen (~ $23) and you can pay using paypal. the online ordering assumes you live in japan, but just fill in some BS fields for the japanese address and put your shipping address in the comments. they will also confirm your shipping address by email/paypal.

i've ordered from these guys before and they're easy to work with and very helpful. it's gonna be a summer of EG as i'm adding this shirt to the pink madras workshirt and anchor shorts i got from context.

interesting...I was wonder how one goes about ordering from them. Had considered enlisting the help of a work friend who's in Japan but this would be easier. Little expensive for a workshirt after shipping and everything...but I love their two exclusives, especially that gingam. Hmm....so tempting but probably shouldn't spend any more money right now.

Congrats on a great shirt that will be super rare here in the states.

I didn't know where to post but here is my fall go-to fit with EG:

FW12 padded vest
FW11 wool bedford (serge)
Gitman
Dockers
Caminando

Also, those looking for fatigue pants, look no further than Outlier. The nyco slims in olive drab are perfect. If you go tts, they fit pretty darn straight, not slim at all and the fabric is awesome. Same military fabric that you would see on m65's and fatigue shirts. I think they are a great alternative for those looking for a slimmer fit than the workaday fatigues, without the lightweight fabric of the reverse high count pants they put out this season.

Anyone pick up the khaki cotton piqué bedford?

 

[atlr]

Anyone tried on this seasons mainline fatigue pants yet? Measurements tell me they might be on the large side on the waist, thinking of sizing down but afraid they might end up too short.. I've always worn size M/32 for all other EG pants: USN, painter, desert pant and they all fit me well. Fatigues have the waist strap/belt thing though and the side waist adjusters too, so a 32 might work anyway.. Any thoughts? Buy regular my size or size down to a S?

 

[Grainer]

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.

We did and they're great!

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 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.

My Tri-Colour Popover will be delivered by Gary soon.

I'm digging the Rail Roader Chambray Jacket, pricey though. Still considering.
