Bop, that reminds me of a query I had: the Keydge jackets distributed by JS and the ones rebranded for J Press- are they ever any different than the self-distributed Keydge jackets of any given season?

For example, there was a J Press branded Keydge that ended on Ebay last night (I was considering buying it if it relisted but alas, it was bid on and sold). It was marked a Euro 50, but the measurements look like it would've been my size. Whereas the recent Keydge jackets look to fit me at a 52. I know Keydge's sizing varies from year to year, so that may be the culprit.

Anyway. I know the website isn't updated as frequently as the brick and mortar, but this model (in a couple different colors) is the only Keydge on the JS website at the moment:

If that's the model you're referencing, Bop, I have one coming in the mail this week! That is to say, I have a cotton/linen jacket from Keydge's current summer collection coming in the mail this week. I'll be sure to post as much info as I can when it gets in.

In other news, I guess Keydge is the winner of the "Keydge vs Alternatives" thread? :-P

They still have a wiff of euro artisan..but the new ones had improved on the length which was one of my main gripes I still think its a lot for a jacket with lapped seams especially but where else at the moment can you get anything as close...I think I'll stick with the second hand Ralph's off eBay..but the keydge is defo improved

Yeah they weren't bad saw one in a charity shop they were decent god knows what they think they're doing with this season's one

Not an unattractive proposition to those buying from outside the Euro zone.

There was a point where the sizes almost shifted by one whole size

just out of interest Joey, what is the shoulder to shoulder measurement on the 52? And I'm guessing the collar to hem length is around 30/31 inch?
