I've just zipped my guy another chasing email to get total confirmation of product codes etc. He said that it was part of their upcoming Spring/Summer collection.
Sorry to stir the conversation again to the BP sunglasses, but I got a call today from BP NYC regarding my pre-order saying that now all BP Joe pairs will have the 007 engraving on the tip of the temples. The only difference would be the case and packaging!
The lady said that due to licensing all Joe models will have engraving now and no regular version will be made/sold anymore! This is very frustrating as I was really eyeing the unbranded version because the outside engraving felt too much for me, still though I didn't cancel my order but curious to know if anyone got the same info on this?
I don't understand why companies don't listen to their customers?
I know that multiple people from the forum have advised them that the branding is too much and would prefer the Joe's to not have the etching or make the branding more subtle but they instead double down on a bad decision. So instead of taking our advice and offering a special edition Joe minus the branding they double down on said bad decision SMH! I think i will reconsider these glasses over the weekend and possibly cancel my order.
I was considering the Connolly jacket at the regular price and would have been fine with a 10% increase but that price hike is just obscene. Hopefully they reconsider but if they don't i feel a lot of people are going to drop out.
I have to laugh at myself sometimes. When the Rogue Territory Jacket was revealed I wasn’t too bothered about it. I then started to warm to it and picked up a denim Supply jacket which is truly wonderful. I thought that would scratch the itch.... but it didn’t.
As I mentioned earlier I then tried on the SA tan Supply jacket and wasn’t crazy about it. Roll forward less than a week and I’ve just picked one up in grey for a great price ) -{

It's possibly in their contract with EON, and they may not be able to change it at this point.

I imagine the contract was setup prior to the pre-orders and if that's the case why even offer the regular version?

Well I don`t think so. When I ordered mine in the beginning of July 2019 and asked if they stayed the same as the Joe that were discontinued, I received that answer: „ The glasses will remind exactly the same . No change.“

Nice, I thought about going with the blanket lined version as it would be more versatile especially living in a place where there are several months of true winter, has anyone gone that route and what did you think?

It's a good point. I've already got a Supply jacket in my wardrobe, in a size medium, but I am thinking of grabbing a Blanket-Lined version, to add to it. Can anyone tell me whether I should go for the same size, or does the lining mean that I should size up?

I would think that with the added layer inside the jacket would end up being tighter than your current medium and it would be harder to layer. Going up a size may be a good idea and then having a little tailoring done if you're so inclined.
I tried on a couple of Rag and Bone Henley's last week but couldn't justify paying £115 for them even though they felt like a quality product. I've picked up some Abercrombie and Fitch Henley's for over £100 less and to be honest the quality is superb. I bought one a while back as well and have worn it a lot and it''s still as good as when I bought it. Not SA or even similar but a real nice product.
does somebody know if the r&b henley will be available in the next season/s? is it a signature piece from them? I like to have a 2nd one but like to buy it later this year

When I asked R&B if they would re-stock the Classic henley soon in white and in my size, they answered me they were a seasonal brand and they were not sure to have it back in stock !!!!
About one week after that, the size "M" was back in stock and I ordered it ;-)
But for later......not sure...

The white tee with pocket could be the Billy Reid Washed Tee.

Kind of glad now I was impatient like a little kid and grabbed them
