For those of you with the BDU jacket, when you wear it unbottoned, does that storm flap get in the way? Do you just tuck it under the jacket?

Just wanted to thank @Drinkwaters for getting me the navy/blue big plaid loiter jacket straight from Nepenthes

That loiter jacket was picked up by two stockists, one in Germany and the other in Singapore.

I tried contacting both but never got a response so Drinkwaters to the rescue.

PS: Awesome jacket, the fit isn't boxy at all.

This might be sacrilege to some, but i just cut it out. I prefer the jacket now, and wear it more.

Its style versus function I guess.
I found i got used to it after a while and it never bothered me. Comes in handy in particulartly windy weather though ;)
But I get if you don't use it that you would want to get rid of it.

Just received my shoes, I find them to fit on the big side. I'm normally an 11 in nikes, 44 in CP etc.. and I picked 10.5 for the slips and 11 for the skates. definitely could've sized down .5 on both styles. On the other hand, the willy post pant fit great.

Who is the stockist in Germany if I may ask?

I really liked the dark navy java cloth Baker from the look book.




Ordered it from Nepenthes NYC, and the fabric looks nothing like the picture. The pattern is basically impossible to discern. It looks pretty much like a dark navy fabric. I can't imagine how it is even possibly the same fabric from the look book. Just a heads-up, if anybody was considering the jacket.
