Epaulet shop - Official Affiliate thread

[CTYGGG]



I think I just saw a couple fabrics disappear before my eyes. Out of curiosity, how many total went up? I like to know how much I missed in just a few hours; helps justify my impulse buys.

19

yeah, if you see something you like jump on it! Was considering that greencast denim and in the 30 minutes or so I was thinking about it...gone. Oh well, I'm not really patient enough to wait a couple months anyway...but still, that was a cool fabric.

What is the status of the last batch of trouser Factory Finds?

 

[CaliforniaSon]

Same, I saw it late last night when the fabrics were first posted, but slept on it and it's gone. Very tempting though, hope a new batch rolls around again soon!

Wasn't that purple white flannel fabric a shirt epaulet sold last season or two ago?

Mike or someone: Can you remind/clarify for me the difference between pinpoint oxford and the "standard" Japanese oxford cloth you use?

It was in '09 actually. One of their first styles...

I believe one of the oxfords I have is the pinpoint and it has this sheen on it, def makes it a dressier option. Mine has a spread collar, so it's really good with a suit

Thanks! I'll wait for any other input too, but I was thinking that might be the case. Truthfully, would rather it was more matte like the standard oxford but I may grab it anyway.

Mike hinted at some other color oxfords coming for spring so I'm sort of curious about those too...my budget can only allow for so many shirts.

The essence of so many sf-frustrations. Late night affiliate surfing where the e-cart fills up and you want to beat yourself over the head....

Here are my entries for the contest:

1.
Before:

Me in Seventeen Magazine. So I actually tried to have a bit of style back in high school, not that I knew anything about it.

After:

Brown flannel walts, Carmina Ashbery chukkas.

2.
Before:

But I got fat and stopped caring. This is about 5 years ago.

After:

Factory find forest green cords, Liberty x Epaulet shirt, Carmina Hawthorne suede loafers

3. Before:

I basically wore clever t-shirts and jeans casually, and awful ill-fitting business casual clothes to work (wish I had some pics of that--ugh!). This was the height of what I considered good style.

After:

Same place, different style. Air Force flannel walts, Caine sport coat, Carmina Ashbery chukkas.


I'm not sure I was 16 (maybe 15) so I leave this one as a bonus. This was my pseudo-punk look (it got a bit better when I dyed my hair, had some spikes etc). cutoffs, docs, and an op ivy shirt.

An updated look inspired by a bit of punk. Gunmetal canvas chinos.

This contrast is fantastic.

Haha, seems to sum up pretty well the network of enablers that is styleforum.net... Stay thirsty my friends

Op Ivy FTW.

I figured I could toss up a couple of old photos to join Mike in putting his money where his mouth is, so to speak.

This one is from senior year 2001. I was so "punk" it hurt.




Somewhere in the southwest on tour in 2008:



A little tour action, January '09, I think.





You can see much of the clothes, but you get the hair+beard+beanie that was constantly mixed in '09



And, since I haven't thrown up a fit in a while, here you go. From two weeks ago:
