J. Press? http://www.jpressonline.com/casual-jackets-1/
I think most of those J. Press "casual jackets" are made by Keydge.
I see Dick's Edinburgh have some Vetra bits too C...but just the main colour....maybe they ain't splashing out this year?
Present has some too....

S'nice but I can't quite get past those darts Chuck.
Darts don't bother me all that much if the fit is still decent, but I wouldn't go in for that jacket because of the crowded cuff buttons. It comes quite close to the mark though.
Sound advice as ever Mon Capitaine - alas, about eighteen months too late, as I own two of the blighters ..... Never worn either of them, obviously .....
Even I'd have felt a tad overdressed wearing that at Clearwell caves .... if I'd had the willpower to drag myself away from the house .....
Just googled them...they look ace...and some invaluable lunging opportunities to be had there young man...
*Tsk*
Gonna replace the buttons on mine to go closer to a BB wash and wear look, any suggestions towards colour?

I seriously cant get hung up over two buttons on the sleeve I know some people love it..but I always thought it looked obvious..but the problem I have with the Ralph above and some others, is they look distinctly Italian in style..and although I wouldnt say theyre hideous it does give a different look..the keydge itself looked more European and then to substitute that for something even more Euro doesnt seem the right direction in terms of achieving an ivy look..imo I know I own Ralph thats darted I made a point to go for the flap patch pockets, and the deeper chests..the patch pocket, high arm hole and fitted shorter jacket is really a different look..still a nice look mind
Im not saying dont wear what you want but I fear we could just be moving further and further away from the look.. this would all be very nice neo mod stuff and if people are interested in this stuff the Wardrobe could really do with a kick up the arse.. Id enjoy discussing it to

Only if I get it cheaper... No money at the moment
I know, I know. It's RL, it's 'modern', it's not of the cannon. But right now it's 25 degrees C here, we're into autumn but it's humid as fuck and great wooly Pendleton or some such vintage just ain't gonna do it for me. I need a thin-as sport coat and I'm not in the south so seersucker or madras are not an option.
Feel free to move this to 'wardrobe' or some such, and turn the damn heat down!

Anyone on the fence about madras might want to do an image search for real-life pictures (i.e. not from catalogues). They are surprisingly wearable, I think of them as the summer equivalent of tweed jackets.
And anyone on the fence about a Keydge should just get one.
