I actually bought the FW14 Bedford in brown homespun a couple months ago off Y!J - my first foray into EG! In the rare chance I can ever find matching pants, I should lookout for the Ghurkas, correct? Any other models that ran in the homespun fabric?

They’ve called a couple things ‘homespun’ that are very different. That, and the tendency of sellers to leave out those kind of terms, could mean you have to pay careful attention to listings.

Gray homespun jackets seem to pop up frequently on the selling apps. Pretty sure I’ve seen Loiters and Bakers in that fabric. My favorite winter jacket is a brown, 100% wool Bedford also described as homespun, though it looks a bit different than the one everyone goes nuts over.

Yes, ghurkas for sure. Not sure there were others that season. Note the ghurkas ran very slim.

I recall the brown homespun Bedfords made up small that season.

Yep, Loiters and some other pieces for the grey homespun.

New to me, FW17 Nyco ripstop coverall. (Any one know the difference between the coverall and Logger?)
On a related note, I’ve been wearing these HW fatigues at least 3 times a week.

Looks like the pants from slides 10 & 11 are the new FA pant replacement. The jacket from slide 19 looks nice.

I guess based on this pic they're the flight pants:
