Hey everyone,
Thanks again for all of the enthusiasm, voting, and feedback! I've had quite a few SF guys in New York come by the store too, and it was cool meeting you all. My apologies for the late check-in, I've been traveling a bit this week and working like crazy on our Fall pieces. Everything is on track and I'm still expecting the shirts by the end of the month.
Here are the final details on the shirts:
* Both the Seersucker and Chambray will be made with button-down collars and natural shell buttons. Good choice!
* Sizing will be available from XS to XXL
* I've had quite a few members PM me with their preorders. You can do so at any time. I'll set up an items on my website within the next few days so that Pre-order customers can purchase their shirt in advance.
* The price for each shirt is $130. US shipping is included and International shipping is available at an additional charge.
Gift with Purchase for Paid Preorders
As a special thank-you for our pre-order customers, I'll include a free tie or bowtie (your choice) with each shirt. We're going to produce this neckwear with the same exact fabric of the shirts, so a gingham seersucker shirt will come with a gingham seersucker tie or bowtie. These aren't necessarily meant to be worn together with the shirts, but will make a nice addition to your neckwear wardrobe. Like all of our stuff, they're made in NYC.
Chambray Fabric Issue
My fabric supplier is pretty old-school. All of their swatches are kept in binders and the fabric is kept offsite. When I started the project, the Olive-Grey US Chambray was listed with plenty of stock. However, when I went to order it, it turns out that the rolls were mis-labeled, and that particular color was not available. So, instead, I went with an alternate Chambray from Japan. It's a slightly lighter weight and has a softer hand. I'm sure that it will make up as a beautiful shirt. The color is significantly more grey than olive. I should be able to get and scan a swatch of it within the next day or two.
Pre-Order and Return Policy
I want you guys to be 100% satisfied with these shirts. Hopefully, I can make a lot more for you in the future! And I know that it's hard to imagine how these will look with only a swatch and description. So our policy is really easy-going:
* Preorders must be paid to be guaranteed. For everyone who has PM'd me already, your shirts are firmly reserved, so no worries. I'll have the pre-order item set up on my website within the next day or two.
* You can cancel your pre-order at any time, and I'll happily give you a full refund.
* Once I get the shirts, I'll take a full set of photos and post them here. I'll also e-mail them to everyone who pre-ordered. If you decide that you don't like how it came out, then you can also cancel for a full refund.
* For shirts that are shipped, there is a 14-day refund policy (with the 14 days beginning after you receive the shirt). If you don't love it, then it's no problem for me to take it back.
Okay, I'll be back shortly with the final Chambray swatch and pre-order link. I've also got 6 more shirts in production which will be delivered alongside these, so there's a lot coming down the road.
Cheers,
Mike
