I like them and have got one or two.
But you can get something very similar (cotton, unlined, jeans seams) for a lot less at Uniqlo ...
I'm slightly confused. Is it a jacket or not................
On a more serious note, I've just come across what seems to be a Pendleton Topster - size M - at a very reasonable price.
Please PM me for the link.

The herringbone ones were nice enough apart from the sleeve button stitching. I always thought H looked good in his. What happened between 2011 and 2012 with the production something changed, I remember jim or someone saying.
However even on this model you can clearly see one of my gripes the notch in the lapel is high.. which means the lapel goes to wide.
The notch in the lapel is parallel with the shoulder ffs!
It'd be a lot quicker if everyone just admitted I was right... remember the tailorcaid shoulder-gate?

Aha, I see what you say about the lapels. Also the Keydge looks a tad short.
It's a lot like comparing a jacket to another jacket... they're shit value, and are ugly without charm. My advice is spend your money elsewhere. Also consider my situation these are the only jackets that remotely have all the details I want.. and do my size and are readily available.. and I still wont buy another one.. and barely wore the one I did get.
The lapel and the cuffs are the main offenders. .. you cant excuse that lapel its all wrongly proportioned.

Re: you cant excuse that lapel its all wrongly proportioned.
Not if you prefer wider lapels...
The vintage one has tiddlers... some might "tear their clothes" at the thought of wearing summat like that
I still like it of course, have many like it - but it's nothing like the Keydge...they're like a cardigan you know...
*staples his hands to his head*...I'm not tearing any of my schmutter...
Hasn't Bop said you can wear a Keydge under a cardigan successfully?
Thinking of Graham Marsh's observation that they are cardigans is deeper than has maybe been appreciated by some on here. He's talking about an attitude to wearing them. An attitude very different to the notion of 'putting on a jacket'. You put on a Keydge like you would a cardi.
A shit and ugly cardi... you can put on a topsman like a non-shit cardigan if you like?
Imagine buying a car and the panels didnt line up? You wouldnt be to impressed.. unless you were blinded by the sales pitch. .. oh no sir.. its meant to be like that.. its more a tuk-tuk than a car... give me a break jim... they're shit

In season, I often wear an un-buttoned & untucked shirt over a White T. as a sort of pseudo-jacket. Very sloppy. I do it with Pendletons especially.
That's my attitude to the Keydge.
