US prices a roughly the same in $ as they are in £ so if it's a largeish purchase then you would be making a saving. Not sure about JP prices though.

Need some help please: I'm looking for the 'cinch pant' or 'workaday' in olive size medium / 32 which have both sold out at end and the bureau, is there anywhere else I could maybe find these online or in London?

Liberty's might have them? Start also gets a small selection of EG, so they might be worth a try as well.

Yeah, that mac with the contrasting detachable hood looks great, in fact the detachable hood looks like it attaches to at least one other jacket in that collection, which is quite interesting. Glad they're doing the polka dot Bedford again too.

Have they popped all the collars in that pic or is that what they look like? Any front on images?

If you mean the Workaday ones? then collars have been popped

They have all been popped yeah, as far as I can see they look the same in terms of construction as the workaday ones. The caption suggests that they are too.. Collars have probably been popped just to show how the under-collar material/colour differs from the rest of the jacket. No other images nah, had a look on Nepenthes blog too but couldn't see anything about em.

If I had the money I'd be getting one myself (getting tired of saying this Roll Eyes, someone buy me one and keep it in storage until my next loan drops Eye-wink)

I'd say go true, they feel quite rigid and boxy at first if you don't get a version that's been laundered first (which The Bureau do), but they soon soften up and fit a little better. I'm probably in between a L and XL in a lot of things and went with a L, just depends on your personal preference, they should have measurements on the the site too so check against that.
