I'm grateful Joey, thanks.
I usually wear a 40R or 41R and the current 52 is close to perfect in terms of fit as well as details (body proportionately longer than the sleeves, good sack silhouette in the body, true 3-button)
If the upcoming fall/winter jackets are cut similarly, I will 100% pick one of those up too.

This jacket could be had for as little as £57 sterling with the current 50% sale, plus the further 5% for leaving in the basket overnight, as Joey states above, and the 30 Euro off referral code. Which you can get from anyone on here who has purchased throughout their website before.
117 euro
-30 euro (referral code)
=87
-04 (5%, further discount for leaving in the basket over night)
=83 euro
1 EUR = 0.696636 GB
=£57
Considering these were going for £235 in J Simons you probably wouldn't bother with 4 euro saving, for leaving it overnight.
Tell me if have miscalculated. Their current summer stock is all reduced by 30% now, too.
The only bummer is the shipping which, at least for the US, adds $42 to the total cost. If it's less to ship to the UK, then more power to you for getting some sweet deals!!
I found it most economical to buy Keydge in "bulk." With my last order, I bought three slack jackets for a total of something like $400 (approximately $200 for one from the new collection and $100 each for two on clearance). It was a big one-time buy, but I surpassed their free shipping threshold to maximize my savings.
I don't know if I'll do such a buy again, since I have firmly decided to go with a Hardy & Johnson jacket this fall rather than a wool Keydge (which have mixed reviews anyway).
I've been seriously considering some of Keydge's discounted options too, but I'm also anxious to see what their new fall lineup brings.
But I did have to wait 2weeks due to some fires...
The French transport workers were setting fires at some ports, I believe.
I returned it for refund. Too big. But the real issue was the darts. Too prominent. Broke up the lovely plaid and ruined the jacket. Lovely and soft. But disappointing as fooooooook. Which is why I wanna see some photos of the Hardy and Johnson jackets.
Just picked up my BB hopsack from the tailors today. Had the sleeves adjusted and made them two button cuffs. It came with three. Which just bugged me! This will have to keep my wooly appetite at bay, for the time being.

Two on the cuff is the classic boom years ivy detail although I appreciate it's nice to keep stuff original.
True. I found that the three just looked messy, more than anything else.
I wanted to check my new seersucker for shrinkage before taking it to tailor to have the sleeves taken up.
25 minute cold cycle. Surprising amount of shrinkage! No longer need an alteration…
The overall length and body has shrunk too. 10 per cent, I would say. I will need to shed my "New Dad" fatty layer to wear it comfortably. An added incentive!
In every cloud...
I have washed all my other Keydges without the shrinkage… which is why I post this cautionary note.
Interesting... I own an Italian made lightweight seersucker jacket (almost like a shirt) that had too long sleeves. I made it wet and put it in the dryer (100% cotton seersucker)... Nothing. Must be that specific seersucker
Haha, and I hate you. That sleeves had to be altered in the end
Thanks for the heads up on the seersucker Keydge, Chief - bought one last year but only really got the chance to wear it a couple of times given the summer we had, so hadn't washed it in the machine yet. Like Woof, I'll stick to the dry cleaners now...
I've come to the conclusion that I would like another Keydge, so if anyone is thinking about selling a 40 or 42 just let me know.
Thank you in advance.
