yeah, EG does fit a little narrow in the shoulder, all part of their fit I think. I can usually fit ok in a large though (and I'm a large in Gitman as well), I guess I've gotten used to it. This season is slim though, I'm still considering the natural workshirt but I will need to size up to an XL in that one I think.

wearing my khaki Douglas shirt today for the first time, I really do love this thing!

Never tried on the CPO I'm afraid. The Douglas fits about the same as the FW11 workshirts (specifically the chambray as I found my flannel fit larger than my chambray) in the chest and shoulders, but more roomy in the lower section.

Thanks for the input. Was trying to see if I could layer a same size work shirt underneath.

You can but it would be snug if the workshirt is already a trim fit. I had mine on over a chambray earlier today and it was a little slim but doable.

So you just wear them a little too narrow in the shoulders? All my Gitman mediums have wider shoulders than this EG large.

Yeah, I don't think they are too narrow to wear, they are just on the narrow side of what I find acceptable. My Gitmans on the other hand are on the wide side of what I find acceptable to wear. Both are the best overall fit options for me from the respective brands.

Definitely one of my favorite SS Collections in a while. However, my heart sunk to my knees when I noticed that we used a similar (or even the exact same) fabric on one of our SS shirts as EG. :embar: Otherwise, there's much too much to choose from to even pinpoint what I like this season. The stuff's just too damn good.

I need something in that Peacock print. Holy ****.

Anyone know the story with this shirt (style, print, stockists)?
