The jeans look great!

I can't help but think that if the "a" in "epla" was italic style with the upper terminal over the bowl (i.e. essentially an upside down "e"), it would naturally be a perfect ambigram.

A+ typography nerdiness.

Wow I like how the jeans turned out. I wish I didn't have so much raw japanese denim to break in otherwise I would definitely grab a pair. Can't wait to see the rest of the epla products!

Nice fits guys.

That's a really nice and clean look Spandexter. Did you have to taper the sides of the jacket?

Thank you. That jacket has had no alterations at all - even the sleeve length was good (I chose -2" from the standard when ordering through the FF options).

Hey guys, I was considering the N3-B jaacket from EP as my first option, but I wasn't interested in black or sage.

Any EP customers have experience with this jacket? It's also a snorkel jacket but from Jcrew. Would you say that the quality is similar enough to warrant a substition purchase?

EDIT (for some reason, when you click on the link, it goes to the wrong jacket, but if you copy and paste the link, it goes to the correct link) In case you can't find it, it's the "SNORKEL" jacket for $348, but can be had for around $250 with the current deal. I was also considering CG but didn't want a jacket with a logo on it.

I saw the Epaulet version. Very high quality and very toasty looking. Also, the Made in USA aspect is a big plus. I like JCrew but based on what I own from them, I cannot believe their jacket is of comparable quality.

Those jeans look nice Mike. I recently bought a pair of raw Naked and Famous weird guy left hand twill jeans that I may sell to try the EP raw instead.

Only an iPhone pic, but here's the EP blouson and moss heavyweight Rivets. Just noticed that my English bulldog is in the background eating haha.

Fantastic new special order trouser options! Looks like more deficit spending this month.

How heavy are the dark forest flannels? Any chance of a swatch in LA?

You mean charred forest?

They're pretty dark. Look charcoal in normal situations, but in the sun, the dark green hue comes out.
