Quick fit photo. Even though it was icy and ****** out, I still rocked my one-off two-tone shell cordovan Carmina Bal Boots:

I'm in love with them. A little bit "There Will Be Blood" style! Paired them with our chocolate plaid trousers from last Fall.


wow :slayer:

The overdyed LBM looks awesome.

Does it have the same pattern as the LBM 1911? Will its price be similar to 1911's, or closer to Epaulet by LBM?

And one of our custom midnight indigo overdyed LBM jackets - which will go online in a week or two.


Unless I'm mistaken, I think I've had a taco in the shopping plaza you are standing in there.

After just over two months, I received my MTO shirt and Rivet Chinos. I ordered the Rivet Chinos in a-now-discontinued navy speckled wool which is a beautiful fabric. It's light-weight enough to wear in the summer where I live, even. I'm glad I sized up as they are very snug in the waist. If I order any pants in the future, it will definitely be on the Walt pattern because I'm not a fan of the low rise, but that's just personal preference. They're a great slim-fit, though.

The shirt I ordered was with the sole chambray offering. In person, it seems much more like the blue pinpoint. It's paper-thin and doesn't have much character - as well as being extremely light-weight. I'm actually wondering if there was a mix-up at the factory... The collar and fit through the torso was excellent, although I didn't find the arm width to match the slim fit through the body. If I remember I will try to get some pictures up late next week.

That looks insanely awesome.

Wait, custom overdyed LBM? Is that the ones that will be MTO and larger sizes? Is it LBM 1911 that you can't do custom? Is LBM different?

After a few months of waiting, I finally got my MTO VASS double monks!

Whoa, those look great! Gorgeous in scotchgrain.

Yup, it's the Brentwood Country Mart, and we had a taco as well right before this pic. And then an artisanal pour-over coffee. That place has the bougie behavior.
Amazing color on the LBM!

Is the LBM cotton or wool blend?

So these LBM's have a funny story. They're all LBM 1911 jackets in cotton which we had left over at the end of the year. They were selling slowly on markdown, so I drove them to my LA dye house. These guys do the best natural indigo dyeing in the United States. We tested one jacket and it looked boss - and we then ran the whole batch. They're a mix of canvas and poplin, and 2-button and 3-roll-2's. For some reason, we quite a few 50's, a couple of 48's, and I believe a single 52. We need to measure them out, but I believe they shrank by approximately one size (Size EU50 became more like an EU49) but we'll confirm that before they go live. They look awesome, and this fabric soaked up the dye bath beautifully. They'll go online in a little over a week and we'll have the priced at $450. I had them hanging at the Santa Monica closing event, so some of you Cali guys may have seen them there.

Always. We've got new styles on order for the Fall and we've reordered the Emersons from last year.
