Hey Dala, I picked up some new EG stuff and thought I'd share on here because I know you are into some really cool brands. Basically, I got a new popover from Wolf vs Goat when they had their spring sale, a pair of corduroy shorts and fatigue pants from EG, and a Carhartt WIP sweater during their spring sale as well. Below are some short reviews.
Wolf vs Goat Popover
I bought this popover during the spring sale on Wolf vs Goat's website. It's made of really light cotton, almost linen-like but isn't as stiff. This is my first WvG item but it has a really great cut.
Here, you can see how tightly spun the fabric is. Very lightweight and breathable. Should be a solid summer shirt.
Engineered Garments Corduroy Short
I picked these up from Notre's online store. I paid full price but I couldn't be happier with these shorts. Fit great and are made of a really cool corduroy fabric. This corduroy seems to have a directional color change to it. In some directions, it has a sheen to it and in other directions, it stay darker and more flat in color.
A little hidden pocket. Nice touch.
Fit pic. I was little concerned because the inseam on these was listed at ~5 inches. I usually wear shorts around an 8 inch inseam, just above the knee. The only other shorts I had in a shorter length were some patagonia stand up shorts and they were 7 inches long. I thought they were a tad too short and billowy. I am happy to say these shorts, in true eg fashion, are cut perfectly. The inseam, while short, is made up for by a perfectly cut thigh width and a slightly longer than normal 12 inch drop.

Engineered Garments Fatigue Pants
I bought these on a deep discount from ebay. They were supposedly only worn once and washed once. I washed them once more when they arrived. These are really cool. The leg openings are huge and remind me of my middle school days with jnco jeans and such. But they are made of thick olive sateen and drape really well around my legs.
Fit pic. Again, big and billowy, but breathes well and should be a perfect casual summer pant.
Carhartt WIP Sweater
Got this from the Carhartt WIP spring sale as well. Not much to say other than an interesting design and solid fit. Digging it.

[MENTION=3002]Carbon13[/MENTION] just saw this now-- thanks heaps and heaps for sharing.
I've imposed a 6 month ban on clothing shopping for myself from Jan 31 onwards (my last day in Japan) after I went to the Yohji Yamamoto flagship store and got this dope ****ing turtleneck. But, once that's over, I'll be posting as many product reviews and fit-**** as you'd like
Pls ask anything and everything you're curious about. I also tried on a lot of Kolor, and purchased some Japan-made Lee Dungarees while I was there.
As per my closet, most of my shoes are Paul Smith (always the Italy made ones), and everything else is an extensive mix of A.P.C., Kapital, Acne, some Carhartt, and Paul Smith Red Ear (a line I highly highly recommend and something I know you'd really really enjoy in terms of fit, quality, and prints; wait for it to go on sale on websites like EastDane). Some DSQUARED too from days of fashion-past.

Thanks for the encouragement and advice. I'll definitely check out some of the brands you pointed out. Right now, I am on a serious Engineered Garments kick. The problem is, like you say, price. I've been mostly buying second hand on grailed and ebay although I may try picking up one first quality item a paycheck. I really like eg's anti-fit. What I've found is their shirt fit the chest and shoulder area fairly snug with almost no drop as it comes down to the waist. I've read their shirts are 'A' shaped which I agree with. It's been fun dabbling in these higher end brands although it can be a slippery slope!
