^Thanks. Definitely buying an Andover, but my choice is between the Cord in Brown and the Glen Plaid in Charcoal.

How did you size it, Z? I've heard conflicting reports. I'm a true Medium in all EG and have never tried on an Andover.

Go with the grey glen check! They have it at J+O in Vancouver. it's pretty good. Fairly slim through the shoulders and chest, but it was definitely a good looking and feeling piece. Better for the long run imo.

I wear a small in all EG shirts, and I'm pretty sure my cord Andover is a M. I can double check tonight.

I usually wear a size 36 jacket and a size S Andover is a great fit on me.

Apparently there was very little US love for Cotton HB Sateen anything (Bedford, Chelsea Jacket and Vest, Shooting Vest, etc.)

Are the broad pants a new design? Can't remember them if so.

Don't quote me on it, but hopefully within 1-2 weeks. I think a lot of the stuff they ordered was in the later batches of stuff off the production lines. Butch, or someone else there at the store has an account on here now, so maybe they'll see this and will chime in.

He has it in M. I've seen him write it enough times.

I don't recall the broad pants in the SS09 season or previous, so I'm guessing it's new. It doesn't have a zipper in the front, but a couple of buttons at the top:

He and the folks at Ian have a good relationshop.

BTW, MAC will finally be receiving their first shipment either Friday or Monday this week.
