^^

The small strip is the only official swatch that I have. Carmina has never done production in that color (at least recently), so nothing else was available to shoot. But, I found this skin online and modified the color a bit to give you an idea of how the scales will look fully made up:


Sigh... my savings hurt.

Any more info about shoes made of python in general? Would be my first pair.

Heck, I envy you - though we both live in the same region of Europe, which obviously is the poor part of the continent, it seems you are doing pretty good - a whole lot better than most people in the area I daresay :). To top it off, Belarus has to cope with the rule of "Europe's last dictator" Lukashenko, what I suppose makes things a lot worse for Belarussians. I wouldn't be able to afford Aldens... even anything from Shoemart irregulars list would be a HUGE expense for me. I need to get a pair from them as soon as I somehow improve my income (I have something cooking, but better not jinx it).

Secondly, this is yet another winter that my butt is freezing, doh

Well, let's just say that I'm lucky to work in outsourcing sphere - though obviously it doesn't put me near our US friends in terms of income. So that kopping pace isn't sustainable for me at all, and I don't foresee big purchases in the nearest future.

To get the topic back to Epaulet, took a pic today on my way to work with aforementioned twill chinos and bean boots:

Just ordered my first Epaulet shirt. How do they fit compared to Gitman Vintage, Gant Rugger, and Wolf vs Goat shirts?

^ I'm trying to figure that out too. I can just fit into a Gitman medium but they're pretty slim on me. Not sure if L or XL in Epaulet is the better choice.

I own a few Gitman Vintage shirts in Medium, and I find them to be about the same as Epaulet Large in that they look fairly fitted but also feel comfortable. Due to the back darts on the Epaulet shirts, I find them to fit better around the torso, especially in the back.

If a Gitman medium fits very slim on you, I'd say you need at least an Epaulet large.

^ This is about right.

I would wear Medium in GBV but the arms are almost always too short, and the blousy back is annoying. You'll likely find that Epaulet large is right on. The neck may be a bit big depending on your, well, neck but otherwise you'll find them an excellent fit. Unless you're super ripped in the chest/shoulders or have freakishly long arms, an XL will be giant on you.

The Short measurements are just 1 inch shorter in the sleeve and 1 inch shorter in the body. All of the other measurements are the same. And the pattern is fully scaled, so the pockets and button stance is moved up to keep the jacket in proportion as it's shortened. We'll post up all those details when the factory finds jacket swatches go live.

Also, it's possible to do something like keep the jacket regular and make the sleeves short. Or vice versa.
Wow, those trousers are super boss in your fit!
This first delivery is all restocks of our best-sellers, but we'll roll out new fabrics shortly. Probably in the Feb delivery.


Mike -- is an Extra-Short a possibility at any point? I just tried a 38R Weller and, while I could make most of the necessary modifications, I'd need the jacket to be another 1" shorter. :facepalm:
