Somewhat related but what are the best South2 West8 stockists outside of Japan? I know of the usual stores like Bureau or Kafka. Was wondering if there were some other 'unknown gems'. Unfortunately not alot of stuff on Grailed.
SSENSE and Notre carry S2W8.

Hey gang, I’ve been off my EG **** for a bit but getting back into it, realized it’s what truly makes me happy in the fashion world today and I’m diving back in.

How does this season’s Bedford jacket fit? I remember SS19 my medium being the perfect fit but now it seems like I should size to a small for that trim look. Can anyone chime in? Thanks!

I’m very much fuckin with the FA pant this season too but when I showed my fiancée she said she’d leave me if I ever got those.

How do the Vans slip-ons fit? I'm usually a 10.5-11US depending on brand.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I'd say TTS. That's what I had heard on here. I ordered a pair in my normal size, and they fit well in the toe. They were hard to get on, but I have a high arch, so I chalked it up to that. So, I would say between your normal size to a half size bigger though.

@beneficialmovie Yea there was a shop with a full size run for a great price of $108. At first I thought it was too long but I really like the length in the context of this fit.

I picked up a plaid workshirt this season during Kafka's sale, and holy cow is it huge. I compared it to a F/W 18 and it's easily a full size larger, not necessarily in the shoulders but in the lenth, body width and even arms. It's basically a long shirt from a few years ago in terms of sizing.

I like the length in some fits but I could see why lots of stockists put their workshirts on sale this year. I wore it out of the house under a cafe racer and it looked like I had an apron or miniskirt on. Lesson learned.

Is the length issue exclusive to workshirts or are the 19 Century shirts like this as well?

That's not terrible, but I'd prefer not to look like I'm wearing a smock sheesh. Perhaps I'll stick with other shirting options.
I have two of the plaids from fw19 and they're probably ~29" which isn't bad. Another BD shirt from I believe ss18, I definitely need to tuck in or it looks like an apron lol.
