Engineered Garments Spring / Summer 2014

The pocket flaps on the Andovers are designed to be folded in right?

You sure on that? not that it matters too much and, hey, just gives another way to wear it, but what would be the purpose of it? Analytical minds need to know ....

Heh heh. What I mean is that they're designed so that they could be folded in nicely, without excess fabric wrinkling weirdly on the sides of the pockets. Try folding in the pocket flaps on the Baker into its pockets, it doesn't turn out any good as the flaps are a bit wider than the pocket.

The purpose would probably be to hide the flaps for easier access to the pockets, if I were to guess.

thanks Mike....

I already passed on the batik baker on sale in my size, I do like the print but just feel its more restricting to pair with other colors than the navy batik, and most pics I've seen make it look more like a tie dye rather than a true batik print, but then again I havent seen either irl so it's a pretty subjective opinion on my part

also the flaps on the new baker really bug me, as opposed to the flaps on the andover which can easily be tucked into the pocket without any fold over on the flap edges which ime make the pocket bubble and mess with the jackets natural silhouette, just personal preference really

on the other hand the navy rs bedford imho is just a staple piece as far as casual blazers go, really cant go wrong with that one, now I just have to blaze the interwebz for that andover in my size, thanks again for the fb

The pocket flaps on the Andovers are designed to be folded in right? I'm actually looking at buying my first Andover right now. The navy tropical wool to go with the cinch pants in the same fabric (which I just received from Fedex).

ABSOLUTELY, and purpose for me would be mainly aesthetic and one of the reasons, aside from slimmer fit, that the andover is my favorite of the eg jacket line up, you can dress it up or down pretty easily and playing around with the flaps also helps in that department

@Shingles Got it - Thank you, sir

@canstyleace I think you are right on on your description of the Black Batik on versatility and "tie dye" reference. It really is so nice though and I could not say no at the really nice price points for those jackets

The good thing: Whatever you get, it will be nice! Off to work ...

 

[canstyleace]

agreed buddy, cheers!

Guys, anyone in the states that could proxy for me for some cash? I could have the garment sent to me but the cost was completely off the wall. I could arrange for the item to be sent to you with ground shipping which would only cost me $25. Then I would pay for you to send it to me + some extra for the service. Please PM me, cheers

 

[HelloFello]

I don't mind helping you out. What do you need?

 

[g transistor]

Send me a PM, we can work something out.

@mbaum heres some different ways I like to wear the andover
chest pocket flap is always tucked in, ticket pocket flat is always out and I just play around with the bottom flaps (in or out)
pocket square always helps to dress it up (add shawl collar cinch vest ftw)

Majority of EG jackets in my collection are the Andover. The flaps to all four pockets (two sides, a ticket and left breast) are cleverly designed to go either way, tucked in or left out.

The breast pocket in particular, gives one the option to have a flap there in the absence of a pocket square. Something different.

And speaking of Batik print. Missing the Cambridge Shorts to complete the collection!

^awesome^
I'm liking the idea of pursuing that suit

 

[yesssir]

Wow you guys put me onto something new. I never thought about tucking in the pockets to the Andover. I honestly like them out though as I mostly wear my blazers with denim or chinos very casually. I must admit they do look nice tucked in the way canstyleace wears them in all his pics.

@Mbaum you've done some damage this season. I thought I bought too much EG this season but you have me beat. Looks good on you.

@El QUaGthat batik collection looks great! Looking forward to more of your fit pics.

Anybody got experience with both the olive ripstop bedford and the houndstooth bedford.. Any sizing difference between the two? I want to pick up the HT but inventory have no returns on sale items so need to be kind of sure.. Help much appreciated. @mbaum it seems as if we're the same EG size

 

[accordion]

gentry told me houndstooth fits slightly slimmer, but not sure if enough to size down.
