Moleskin is a thick, soft fabric. Similar to a wide wale corduroy without the wales. It's a cold-weather garment, and the tan color is more of a camel. It's definitely heavier. I'd say it's a bit less casual though, as moleskin is typically worn with dressier pieces, although you can certainly pair it with boots and casual looks.

...and they are comfy as hell!

Here's a cross post pic from the Epaulet Carmina thread. It's the Salinger Double Monks in Saddle Shell after a few months of wear and one round of Saphir Renovateur. The color is already significantly darker than where they started, and they're really getting some great character.

Those look nice. Any plans for a suede version or a darker brown.

Yes to both. Brown calfskin double monks will be here in about a week. Snuff suede ones are in-bound mid-April.

Epaulet sells shoe trees?


Ha, actually we do. They're US-made cedar trees, from the same supplier as the Alden ones. We had our own brass badge put on them.

Will you be restocking Saphir Reno? Also, how much to add a pair of shoe trees to my next order?

that is good to hear, hopefully you will have my size. Then if the cigar LWB pre-orders happens I should have all the shoes I need for now.

USPS working hard. Tracking shows as "Delivered" to Epaulet with no other info :lol:

Means I should get them tomorrow or Sat if it shipped but USPS messed up the scan

Yep. We should have more in by the end of next week or early the following week.

The shoe trees are $28. If you want to tack some onto your next order, just shoot us an email (myself or Mike) and we'll get you sorted out!

Glad to see the Walts are sorted from the Rudys on the trouser page. I hope there are some Rudy moleskins in the future; moleskin is my fave.

Dear God, so many trousers so little money...

Speaking of money, did that Ravello Tanker that a pre-order was going to be set up for ever gain any ground?
