^ Is there a lookbook for the F/W collection out on the web yet?

Anyone know if any stores still have the 8oz tapered jeans in stock? I went by american rag over the weekend and they had size 36 in the black, but I am looking for a 32 or 34 in indigo.

So whats the verdict on the elbow patches on the bedfords? Normally, I kind of like elbow patches, but I'm not really digging them on these jackets. Which is a bummer because I've been planning on picking one up.

Bedford looks great, I don't mind the elbow patches at all.

I like elbow patches in general, but I'm not sure if I like those elbow patches yet. I've actually been planning on adding them to my cordoruy bedfords when the elbow areas start to wear out, but it will be brown leather.

whats the definition of broadcloth btw?
For shirtings, broadcloth is a tightly woven fabric that will feel and look a bit more fancier than say an oxford cloth.

^^ I agree with that statement exactly. I'm usually a fan of elbow patches, but something strikes me funny about those.

haven't seen any knitwear yet

the andover suit is unconstructed, like s/s and unlike last year's f/w. and sized pretty small.

the bedford elbow patches could have been better, but if you don't like them all it takes is 5 minutes and a seam ripper.
