It's freaking amazing. It's definitely one-sized, it's intended to fit a bit large. It folds down to the size of a softball and is machine washable. Nutzo.


That one is cool too, but I was referring to this bad boy/girl: http://www.epauletshop.com/servlet/t...t-Black/Detail

I'm assuming if she's a small/xsmall in most tops/button downs, small would be best for this jacket to assist with layering?

Also, I too am bummed I missed the tweed cords and now the brown donegal tweed in 30, but if you hit the trouser house today, here's another request to find another good lucking one of a kind fabric that you have a great eye for in a similar brown shade/hand. Would be totally awesome.

Oh yes, small should be right on with that. I can send you measurements tomorrow too.

With that piece, the really great thing is to use it as a layering item itself. It's about the same bulk as a sweater, but WAY warmer. It's a great way to make a medium-weight wool coat warm enough for balls-out winter.

And yes, hitting the trouser shop tomorrow morning. I'll buy every tweed in sight. I'll have swatches to show later this week

Hey Mike,

Quick Gant Rugger Old Loom question. Based on your recommendation I'd take a large (I'm 6'3", 175-80 depending how much I'm out on my bike) but the measurements for a medium seem better for me. I wear M in J/Crew shirts, as well as Gitman--except Gitman almost always have too short of sleeves, so it's rare I find one that works.

Thanks!

Any Walt, any size? Yeah, I've got a bunch. Looking for a particular size or fabric?

That's pretty apt Keith. Couldn't have said it better myself. We're restocking Moleskins in Tan, Navy, and Olive in about three weeks!

Hmm, I'm also thinking a Medium - unless you've got really broad shoulders. Feel free to pick up a Medium and Large and send back the one that doesn't work though.

Nah, just trying to get a good idea about fit. I might be in between a 30 and 32. Probably going to order 32s.

Sooo addicted to Epaulet right now. Just ordered 2 additional shirts there today.

I bought a pair of their Hoyts but ended up returning them last week. Decided I don't like the cut, though. Their Walt trousers and their shirts fit me perfect, though.

Hi Mike!

Are you going to produce a size 28 of the cotton poplin bordeaux Walts?

I want to get both colors available, but only the French Blue has a size 28.

In my experience the Walt fits pretty true to size. I have a pair of 33s that are slightly big on me and I wear a 32 in most pants.

OK, here's a few pics of the Walts as well as the rivet chinos (which fit similarly to the Walts, but with a lower rise):

Navy Chinos
Some of these pics are pretty grainy because they're from my iPhone, not to mention that the lighting in that room isn't the greatest. I think you still get somewhat of an idea of the fit. (And yes, I tuck my shirts in.

) Oh, and for the record, I'm a 32 as well, although I could do a 31. I'm 5'9" and 145 lbs. - Keith P.S. I should give further credit to Epaulet for the necktie, bowtie, and several woven shirts in these pics. HOLLAH!

Sorry about that, we've got them in stock - our team just hasn't been able to get them online yet. You need a special setup to shoot watches. They retail for $700.

Yes, I'm supposed to get a small qty with the next shipment. PM me if you'd like to reserve one. The sizing is pretty consistent with our shirts, and the Hiker Jacket that we currently have from them.
