Introducing Slim Fit Trousers by Epaulet - Page 18

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it! I'm thrilled that you's so pleased with the trousers. Come to Brooklyn someday and we'll take you on a serious Bourbon flight.

Whoa, sorry for the late response on this. I'd say that both the Moleskin and Flannel are equally warm. Both are great for the winter. The flannel is more dressy if you need a trouser for work.

We just booked a quick re-stock on the UK Chambray trousers. I'll paste the links below. Within the next week, we'll get a full restock of the Tropical Wool (Walt & Rudy), and a size run of the Walt in Indigo Dyed Linen.



Epaulet UK Chambray Walt Trouser (Size 30, 32, 33, 38): $165


Epaulet UK Chambray Rudy Trouser (Size 28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 36): $165

Hey guys,

We're going to try something new with our deadstock trouser production. I've got three bolts of gorgeous Italian tropical wool available - enough to make 12 pairs per color. I built a preorder section of our website where you can purchase the trousers without a specific size or fit. The idea is:

1. 12 units total can be purchased in each fabric. We'll have the preorder open until midnight, June 13th.

2. Interested customers can preorder the item in our shop. You'll purchase the item without any kind of sizing. After the payment goes through, please e-mail us your name and invoice number - along with what size (28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 36, 38) and fit (Walt, Rudy) that you want.

3. Once the preorder closes, we'll place the trouser order and cut the fabric exactly to match the preorders. They'll be delivered and ready to ship in about 3 weeks.

4. I'd like to avoid making these final sale. I know that it's tough to commit to a $185 item just off a 1000 pixel swatch of the fabric. However, if we end up taking a bunch of odd size returns which are hard to sell, then we won't be able to do that in the future. And size exchanges between customers will be mostly impossible as there won't be open stock.

So for this run the usual SF 14-day refund policy will apply. But I respectfully ask that you be pretty sure that you want the trousers if you place a preorder. If you already own a Walt or a Rudy trouser, then you can expect these to fit the same.

Let's see how it goes. We've got customers across a range of sizes and fits, so I think that this is a very fair way to give everyone a shot at these limited specialty fabrics. If it works, then we can do this for all kinds of fabrics - and make up a bunch of exclusive pieces just for the SF community.

Onto the fabrics! If you click through to the shop items, you can see a larger image of the fabric bolt.


Pearl Grey Tropical Wool Preorder: $185


Brown/Olive Tropical Wool Preorder: $185
It's hard to see the exact color, but it's an awesome old-school tone that's between Brown and Olive. It's very 60's.


Black Tropical Wool Preorder: $185

I wore these nearly every single day in Los Angeles this past week. I rolled the cuffs to mid-shin and wore them with Alden snuff suede longwings. Somehow I was channeling my inner "Free and Easy."

No comments, but quite a few douches and douche-ettes gave me the stink eye.


Our trouser workshop was the same. They always call the Walt a "skinny pant." The staff couldn't believe how slim they were, but the owner knew better. He's been making trousers for over 40 years, and saw them for what they are: a throwback to the 1960's when men wore tailored clothes that actually fit them.


The pant cut is always the same, but the overall fit can change a bit depending on the fabric. I'd say that you're on the edge of the Walt fit, so trousers done in finer, lighter fabrics like dress wool or linen will feel tighter.

Just dropped you a PM - we can work something out for you.
