man.

i just received my khaki metallic andover in XL, and it's SO slim. It's seriously probably 2-3 inches slimmer than my blue serge bedford (I had always thought that the bedford fit slimmer than anything else). Is this season sized much slimmer than seasons past?

I also have a navy linen bedford on the way, i am worried that won't fit either.

I think the sizing of the Andovers may be messed up this season. I have a linen Bedford, which fits as my other Bedfords do.

I recently tried on the same sized Andover in the micro houndstooth & found it to very tight. I also tried on the same size in black chambray & found it to fit as my older Andovers do.

I called MAC, the man that answered the phone said:

The linen Bedford fits the same as my serge wool one. Whew. Andover fits a good 2" more slim. Lame!

Frack. This does not fit me at all & I just received it. Sz small. Anyone interested?
Roundheadlights gets first dibs. That is if I ever hear back from the guy.
Thought I would give styleforum members first chance, before listing it on ebay.

I just received an EG Henley shirt from the Garbstore -

What would you all recommend I wear it with? Shorts or jeans? Is layering a good idea?

Nice buy. I'd wear it with shorts or if I was at the beach wear it with a regular pair of khakis rolled up when it starts to get cooler. I'd pair it with some nice white/light-colored kicks. Personally, I wouldn't layer, but this is a fairly versatile piece. You could get away with it in transition when summer starts to cool off.

Andovers always fit much slimmer than Bedfords, in my experience. Being tall and thin, I look like a bum in a Bedford, but Andovers are spot on.
