It's not uncomfortable, but hopefully the shoulder will stretch out a bit more. On the plus side, the sleeves are near-perfect fitting. Would you recommend me soaking it in cold water, wearing it, and pulling at the front to get more stretching? I won't forget to hang dry next time.

And Mike, I'd just like to add that the heavyweight stones even impressed my nike-obsessed friend, well-done. Doesn't care for any of the clothes I buy, but couldn't hate on my new flannel and chinos! Looking to buy the moss chinos after the new shirts come out and I get more $$$.


Sporting my heavyweight stone chinos today along with a pair of Indy 405's. The additional three or four inches of snow we received yesterday makes this a great pairing for today's weather.

Mike, be sure to help me nail down my size (I'm a pretty solid Epaulet large) the first time, because a) I have a feeling these will go quick and b) shipping costs to Canada I find are sort of crazy-high relative to the free US shipping.

While I am asking about the Red Chambray, what about the possibility of the grape gingham you guys did last season. I apologize if I am asking wayyyy too early or if you have already answered this, but just wanted to know in case you guys already had put in some orders. I will be spending a lot of money at Epaulet this summer....But, damn already missed out on the Gant Traveler Parka (was it an Epaulet exclusive?).

Yes, sorry, we owe you those shots - we'll hook them up tomorrow!

Also, any exact date on when the new shirts arrive, Mike? I really don't want to miss out on the shadow dots shirt.


Should be soon - I'd say by next Friday. Looking forward to your visit!

Jesus, I really should. Today was my day off, but I somehow ended up buying five copies of Free and Easy and staring at workboots and tweed jackets for three hours.

Cool, looking forward to your visit. Most of the deadstock stuff is at our Manhattan store.

EDIT: Giant pic...my bad. It is the red chambray/workshirt I am talking about.

Cheers,


Absolutely, I've got that on order now. Full restock of Red & Greycast Indigo. And we'll bring in White too.

No, sorry just the "North Sea Blue" color.

Glad that you got them - how nice is that fabric?

Awesome - I'm positive that you'll be a Medium. We'll do full measurements, I can put on the medium for a fit pic (I'm a perfect Epaulet Large).

And sorry for the high International shipping charges, we only trust either USPS Priority and Express, and unfortunately both are pretty expensive options. We often pay $5-$10 more than what we charge for International orders, so I can't make the rates any lower.

Got my white oxford today as well as my heavyweight chinos. Both are pretty phenomenal. The fabrics and finish are really top notch. The only thing is I got the chinos in a 29 when my last pair was a 28 and fit perfect. Despite the online inventory saying its in stock, 28 isn't available. I washed em hot and dried em normally and while they fit better, they're still noticeably big in the waist, even after factoring a tucked in shirt(which wouldn't even be that often). I guess I'm really small. So if anyone wants to get rid of their size 28 pair, or trade, please let me know. I don't think altering these will do all that much. I'm gonna just hope another hot wash will help.

BTW, I can't wait for the utility shirt to show up. Should be a few more weeks right?

More kudos on the chinos. I love having my wife tell me to buy more clothes. Just ordered my 4th pair, this time the heavyweights. Thanks Mike for making GREAT clothes at an affordable price point. I'm a small business owner myself and I know what it takes to run an operation top to bottom and I wish you continued and long success. Regards, Mike

Good thing, though I live in Brooklyn the other store is a bit of a trek for me on my days off.

Got my contrast collar oxfords yesterday (super fast because Mike is THE MAN) and wearing the white one today. Love it as usual!

I missed the UPS guy for my Cigar Indy's, though. Hope I can get them before this city shuts down during the snow. Seattle freaks out if there's a single flake.

I'd avoid putting the chinos (or any good cotton garments) in the dryer. Mike can probably correct me if I'm wrong, but the chinos are designed so that you can get the waist taken in (or out). Any good tailor would be able to take some fabric in from the rear, I think, assuming they could take a bit out of the waistband curtain.

That's true of the trousers, but not the chinos.
