Sashiko Kamigata will be so outstandingly fresh, if they do that.

Of course, I'm in for the one wash denim as shown.

And I was thinking more about the design and I can really see where EP is coming from: If you want a traditional noragi, they are out there at some price or another. The point here, as I understand it, is to have a piece that's inspired by the noragi, but is distinctive and specific to Epaulet. Very good.

So I'll just keep thinking about internet clothes, then. :)

SVB, how long does it take to get your pocket squares to look like that?
Funny, I have a BS in Mechanical Eng and when starting the task I think "ok, this is simple, I can do this...". I also have a BS in Creative Writing and once started I think, ""F" it....good enough, I still have time for a scotch before my better half is ready to walk out the door. "

First off - this should definitely work. I see guys wear Rivets with very thick workboots, and it's not a problem.

Second - all of us have a psychotic appreciation for Western boots. I LOVE them. Hand-made western boots are absolutely the pinnacle of shoe crafting the United States. But Dylan's the only guy who has the cojones to pull them off. I personally love most things about traditional Western wear.

I can tell you that all of us would love to see how any Western boot owners match their boots to our trousers/chinos. It's totally inspirational.

And, give me a few months. It's definitely an ambition for me to launch a roper boot for Fall. I think that it's about time.


At the very least...a group buy. You've got one order right here

Well deserved my friend! Enjoy those shoes!
Whoa, this would be great! I can check on this!


I've been looking at cowboy & roper boots a lot recently, and there's just so much out there. I thought we obsessed over details, but that's a whole different world.

Epaulet blazer & trousers













Great look SVB. That also looks like a tattersall Ashland shirt from a few years ago, if I'm not mistaken?

And +1 to SVB's question about metal taps on Carminas; I'm fairly punishing to my shoes' heels and toes. I get rubber ones nailed on to the heels to prevent premature wear there, and because they're less slippery than metal ones (important for heels), but am interested in the metal ones for the toe.

@cyc wid it You wear those charcoal flannel Walts extremely well and with many different fits.

The gentle, substantial arch of the Gitman Ashland cutaway collar. The love affair continues.



(Both points always touch the body. My posture and neck were just off because I took the pic myself. SVB this was the shirt I read you as wearing in your previous pic.)

If you were going to a summer wedding, and the only suits and sport coats you have are entirely too heavy, what Epaulet option would you go for?

Ah sorry about that. We don't have any 34's or 35's on hand, but stop by the shop to try on a 36 and bring along a sportcoat which fits you well now. Between the fit of the 36 and the measurements of your jacket, we'll be able to lock down what size you need.
Absolutely. Indigo restock is being counted and will be booked in within an hour or so. Working to get Grey & White online tomorrow!
Oh man, one of my favorite shirts ever. That looks great!
Sharp. This is a killer color combo (say that three times fast)

My brother-in-law was visiting from Chicago and he has an interest in Western boots and ropers so I took him to a place here in El Paso that I'd heard about but never visited. It's an outfit called Rocketbusters and they build hand-made custom boots for celebrities and anyone who wants to pay over $1K for some over-the-top boots. I could never wear any of their boots (or any cowboy boots for that matter) but they are incredibly impressive. The owner, Nevena, came out and spent some time chatting with us. She is quite a character but I guess you have to be to be doing something like that for all this time.
