Hah. I actually thought about getting those Walt, but I already have a green tweet trouser. I may still get it sooner or later though.

That's a great looking fit on you MrJester.

Might have to take the emerald twill plunge.

Thanks for the update on the Rudy orders, I guess I hadn't looked through each of the fabric options, I just saw the three choices on the main page.

In other news, I had an unexpected package show up today...my first MTO shirt! It's great, but has one big problem - the collar size is a half inch too big. Sounds like a small amount, but that makes a pretty big difference in how the collar fits. The reason I couldn't wear the RTW shirts is because the collar was too big for me. I ordered a Large with a 15.5" collar, but I measured it and it's actually a full 16".

Anybody else experience this with their MTO shirts? I could try washing and drying it, but if the sleeves shrink then they will be way too short. I wanted to order some more shirts, like a white oxford and maybe some gingham, but now I'm not so sure.

Just wanted to update that I got a reply from Mike on this, and I have to say that this is the reason why I keep buying from Epaulet. They stand 100% behind all of their products, and if something is off they will do whatever it takes to make it right. More MTO shirt orders will definitely be placed by me in the future (along with all the Rudy and Rivet orders I was also planning on making).

Mike whats the cut off on ordering MTO trousers, I'm thinking of ordering some but need to wait a bit after all the shoes I've purchased lately.

 

[Dbear]

Bummed I missed out on the FF for the shirts. Any more on the horizon?

Think there was a request for an update on these awhile back; finally got around to it: Epaulet x Thorogood Horsehide 685 boot. Purchased Fall 2010.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Wow, those look so boss! I love that Horseshide.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I really like this tie too. Might just be me but I think it would look great with a pale pink shirt. It came in just after my last order but I'm currently trying to justify international shipping just for a tie. Or maybe I should justify grabbing another pair of shoes. Hmmm... Quick question actually, I don't suppose you are going to do any shorts in a navy linen this year?

We're not going to run those, but you can email us to special order a single pair. It would run $185, and we can do the shorts in Navy, Orange, Red, or Juniper linen. The steel grey and havana brown is unfortunately all cut.

I assume that some of the Rudy fabrics like Camo twill and Nori wool are limited in availability, so it's buy now or forever hold your peace. Will the more common fabrics like duck canvas be available in Rudy at a later time? Just trying to pace my purchases.

Yes, things like Duck Canvas, Navy & Grey Super 120s, and even Navy & Grey Hopsack will be largely in stock for us over the next few months. We'll restock Camo Twill down the line as well. The most sensitive fabrics for Rudy ordering are Nori Tropical and Burgundy Hopsack. Both of those were cloths that I bought from my fabric dealer and there's limited stock left on them. Nori Tropical is hands-down one of the best fabrics we've ever used. The old-school color on that is really killer.

Mike, i know it's summer but any idea on if you guys are getting the single breast version of veneto in the fall (sept/oct) or more towards the winter months like nov/dec? Also, what other outerwear ideas are in the works? I remember an overcoat from a year or two ago. Are there any plans to remake that or another version of an overcoat?

We'll get most outerwear at the start of Fall - so around that late Sept / early Oct period. I've actually got two preview shots to show you for our leather collection... First off, the Mulberry is going to return in the same grained brown leather that we ran last year and in Tobacco suede...

And... this is happening...

I need a snappy name for it, but we spec'd a minimal double rider piece (no epaulets, no belt, no extra pockets, bells, or whistles) and punched it out in midnight calfskin. This is going to be so freaking good. I should have the actual sample in my hands next week.

I need a light weight summer navy walt. Which is lightest; the linen, 8pz regiment twill, steep twill or sanded uk? thanks for the help guys!

Linen is definitely the lightest of the three by far. If you're leaning towards cotton, I'd recommend either Sanded UK Canvas or Duck Canvas. Sanded UK is technically lighter, but Duck has a more open weave, so they're both about equally breathable when you wear them. Regiment is pretty dense, and Steep Twill is definitely a cooler weather fabric.

So I had my first tailoring done for the madras walts and I think they've done a good job with letting them out. No more squashing in the sensitive areas

I think I'll trust them with my newly bought Caine. Speaking of which, I have zero experience with tailoring SCs, so I could really use some help from you guys. I'll be definitely shortening the sleeves to show a bit of cuff, but other than that I think some waist suppression is in order. Not sure about the chest though. If any other pics are required please let me know.

This is awesome, but I hope that oddly placed zipper on the sleeve doesn't make it into the final production version.

Too guido. More Bensonhurst than Carroll Gardens. I'd call in the McQueen or the Dean. No explaination required.

Since I was thinking of Joey Ramone, guido never crossed my mind. I agree, not a desirable possible inference.

One other proposal: the MCA.
