Trousers look great, as do the shoes. Need some suede in that color.

Yes, I actually just shot some studio photos of this last week. The jacket is a one-button notch lapel with grograin trim on the outside. The fit is exactly the same as our standard "Weller" suit jackets. For customization it can also be done in a peak lapel and a two-button instead of a one button. You can also choose a single, double, or unvented back.
The trouser can be special ordered in size 28 through 36 in either the Walt or Rudy fit. It has a matching grograin stripe down the outseam.
Pricing is $1050 for both pieces, which includes shipping and all special order charges. For colors, the tuxedo can be done in black or off-white :slayer: You can also get an off-white jacket with a black trouser.


I may need a tuxedo for a wedding in late July, so it might be time to finally buy one.

If I want a peak lapel (is shawl collar an option?), what's the timeframe for getting that done?

Christ, my bank account!
I am trying to save cash for my mega New York trip / Epaulet Onsite Shopping Spree, but damn, how do Iwhen I am scared that some of these new arrivals sell out before I arrive in May?! Arggg!


WOW... I am literally in the same exact position as you. I have no idea what I'm going to do financially in New York after the last couple of weeks in purchases. I guess if that is what we are complaining about than life is not so bad.

Are the new regimental twill trousers dry clean or machine wash?


I'm going to go with the latter.
The cloth has a soft hand, a year-round weight, and it's both pre-shrunk and color-fast.

However, I dry clean all of my pants, be it dress trousers, chinos, or jeans. I plan to do the same on these bad boys.

If I were to wash them, I would hang dry. (I had a bad experience when my Paul Smith chinos shrunk in the dryer several years ago. I was in shock because back then $200 for a pair of pants was a lot of money for me)

Did you order the size 33 while it was sitting in my cart??? I actually had reserved a pair but found out afterwards (I was going to just order from the website and then cancel the reservation) that I was too far down the reservation list so didn't get a pair in 33. Ended up getting a pair in 32. I think it'll fit either off the rack or with a waist let-out.
I also got that speckled cream shirt. It looks to be perfect for both the plum and french blue rivet chinos.


i'm a 34 so no i didn't grab that 33. haha. kinda regretting sleeping on the french blue. it'll be a ways till a restock

Yeah, First World problems and all of that.

Seriously, I am trying to save up a couple of grand at least for shopping only (much of which will be spent at Epaulet) but man, these releases are killing me!

I checked what my main monthly expenses were... top three were (in order of amount)

1) Mortgage
2) Epaulet purchases
3) Condo assessments

Many months Epaulet jumps ahead of my Mortgage...

It still is a lot of money, unless you're rolling in ibank salary/bonus.
