Note: Jacket is SOLD.

I have up for sale an Engineered Garments Pathfinder jacket. Color is Light Brown / British Khaki. Tagged size XS, but true to EG (generally) generous sizing, this piece fit similar to most other brands' size Small (please see measurements).

The Pathfinder is a light Spring/Summer jacket, yet should work layered a over sweater/hoodie in colder days. A favorite of many, a few pieces are made every year. Top notch construction, as to be expected with Engineered Garments. Lots of cool details as well. (please see photos below)


Item Condition:
nearly perfect, having been worn about 5 times. I bought this jacket last summer at Odin(NYC). It is a light jacket, so I thought it would be perfect for Texas winter(50-60 F). Didn't work out that way

; it was 80F everyday till early December, then I left the country for a month(and just came back). In the mean time I also bought a couple of other nice coats, so looking forward the Pathfinder won't get as nearly much wear as I'd like. I need money going to fund an upcoming pair of 5EP too.

Measurements:
Chest (underarm to underarm, laying flat): 20"
Sleeve (shoulder seam to sleeve cuff): 25"
Shoulder (seam to seam, on back): 17"
Length (bottom of collar to jacket hem, on back): 24"


Pricing:
The Pathfinder is back this year (at Ian andat Peasant). Other US stockists haven't worked out details yet, but it is likely the Pathfinder will NOT be available in this color, or in this size anywhere else. Retail ~ $300, I paid $250+ IIRC (also bought 2, 3 other things in that trip). I'm asking $180 shipped in the US. Will cost a bit more to ship international. I prefer Google Checkout, but PayPal is okay too.


Here are the photos. I tried to capture as much as I could, but honestly, it still doesn't compare to handling it in person. Also, pics were taken in somewhat of a hurry, so quality isn't exactly to VMan's standards, but I tried

Nice jacket. Is it canvas? It looks a little porous. I'm on the fence because I don't like the pewter snaps. Also, it is a reverse double zipper, right? Again, just nice.

I am fairly certain the fabric is a 65% poly 35% cotton Poplin blend. The reason I know this, aside from the fabric composition tag, is that I recently acquired a 60s US Navy Windbreaker that is made of an identical material, same texture, same weight, composition, only in a lighter shade.

And the fabric is definitely not porous. Quite waterproof actually, as far as I could tell.

Yes, I just checked. Wouldn't know had you not asked.

How wide is this at the waistband? And how tall/heavy are you in your pictures? Thanks!

Great looking jacket, and I'm not even normally an EG fan.

19", measured with garment laying flat. Side buckles are there if you want a more fitted look.
