Thinking of buying an EG Field Parka and would like to know if anyone here can comment of the general fit/quality of their gear? Still wish IH would come up with a parka/field jacket

[Stokely]

I love a lot of EG stuff, own quite a bit. Nothing for the past 2/3 seasons though.

[Stokely]

Fit can be big, but not necessarily baggy. Quality is good IMHO.

[bertoni]

Yeah i'm really not sure if I should go with an M or L. I'm an L in IH shirts and tees. Measurements arre different on different sites. Don't want baggy as I prefer a fitted look on jackets. May have to take the risk

[Stokely]

Wearing one now actually :).

I wear medium in work shorts and a large in most IH.

[Stokely]

Shirts I meant.

[bertoni]

Thanks for that mate. I'm tempted to go for the M then cos i'm L like you in IH. Wish I could try one on

[Stokely]

Blue Andover jacket. Needs some tailoring.

[Stokely]

I'd just go for holmes. Work shirt, with the different pockets?

[Stokely]

Again. Feck. Go for it. Sorry IPhone edits are not happening.

[elclintor]

I've been looking at their chambray workshirts..

is their sizing similar to IH?

[Stokely]

I'm a medium in EG, large in IH.

[Heavy Duty]

The Workaday cords having been calling me since last year and due to the v high cost of the upcoming IH i think i'll snag a pair of these soon.

[bertoni]

I've not seen or tried their cords. I did snag an Olive Field Parka recently though.

Really nicely made. Nice cut, materials etc etc. Went with an L in the end despite being told to go with an XL by Oi Polloi. Made the right decision. May well try and get my hands on a hooded vest this season too.

Size down.

That parka is sweeet! Is the olive, drab or dark olive?

[bertoni]

Hey Heavy!
Check out the Oi Polloi site…the colour is spot on. The inventory site is pretty close too. Beautiful jacket

[Heavy Duty]

Ahh yes i remember that parka now they did it in a grey wool last season iirc, colour wise it's leaning towards drab rather than dark….. i think or is that my monitor??

[bertoni]

I'm not too sure of the difference to be honest! It's not really dark olive though. Would be a good match for those Nexus x Timbs though

….An that my friend is the whole point lol! Although i have seen a Nexus vest that i've hummed n hawed about for a wee while and though it's not as nice as the parka or that EG vest now sold out on Oi it would match perfectly and i'm thinking Workaday's with those boot's and vest teamed with black leather gloves and black cashmere scarf and flat cap.

Autumnal weather.....DONE!!
