Epaulet shop - Official Affiliate thread

[CharlieAngel]

Whos your tailor and where? I just got my Epaulet x Reedspace gray brushed twill chinos from my shop on Melrose and the guy said something similar "Very very good pants!" Quality breeches. Can't wait for my spring purchases.

Also, any chance of another 2-stroke indy run?

Hi Mike,

Are you still planning a restock on the Penobscot Penny Loafer Natural Chromexcels?

Also, I finally made it back to the US to open my package of Epaulet clothes and everything is great as always, especially the Ep X Liberty of London shirts. Fantastic.

Quick update on my Smiths (almost 1 year of off-and-on wear). Anyone who is considering these at the sale price should pull the trigger, they're fantastic denim.

^ How is the fit on these after a year of wear? Did they stretch out significantly?

 

[AntiHero84]

I wouldn't say there was significant stretch, but they did become a little looser in the waist. I didn't do any before/after measurements, but I can tell you you they do the typical shrink-stretch after a wash and hang dry. I bought TTS, but if I were to purchase another pair, I might size down one, but that's because I don't mind my jeans a little tight. I'm typically a 34, but would now buy a 33. That's not to say I don't like my current fit, but I do see the need for different fits based on what I'm wearing.

Looks cool, don't know what the hell you guys do in your jeans to get em to wear that way...I even tried the jump in the ocean trick (somewhere theres a thread on my experiences) and that didn't fade em as much as that (nd they were 5 year old APC NS.

Very tempted by the Smiths. Reasonable to assume that the 28.5" waist for the 28s will stretch out about an inch through wear? With no returning I'm hesitant, but this post about sizing down has me thinking it'll be fine...

Any new Rivet Chino colors planned to launch soon?

I was in the shop yesterday and Mike was talking about a looooooong list of new ones for this Spring. Too many for me to remember, but I recall colors, fabrics, rivets, buttons, etc. all being up for grabs in 2012.
