Hi Mike,

Will the new EPLA polos be really breathable like the lucianos or like some of the sunspels, or witll they be the more traditional pique?

Also, any linen or linen blend shirts or polos for the summer?

thanks!

Also, I received the MTO swatches for both Southwick and Luigi Bianchi, so we'll be building that out online shortly.

Mike

Thanks for the pictures of the material. Curious how color plays in the light? It resolves to a denim-ish blue from a distance rather than gray? I like the surface texture but against the Navy Duck Canvas, it almost seems gray though it might be my monitor. Color is funny in that way...the swatch alone is clearly blue, and a lovely marled appearance.

The shrinkage is going to be similar to the navy Doyle, i.e. minimal?
Are you still expecting a 30 day turn-around? Will you wait for all the units to be sold?

Cheers

Sure thing. The fabric is a bit bluish-grey in person. I'd say more blue. It's going to make up as a beautiful piece. And no worries about shrinkage - like the Doyle, this will be prewashed with all shrinkage removed.

Our plan is to submit the order on May 12th or when all of the units are sold. Turnaround time is about 6 weeks with shipping from LA, so we're looking at end June. If all of the units get ordered in a few days, then we can submit on Monday-Tuesday and shave some time off of that. We'll just have to see how quickly it moves.

Hey Mike, sorry to nag, but any updates on the release timeline for the kamigata noragi? The weather here in Portland is finally clearing up and I'm itching to get one!

Yup, we have it now. So, the issue is that this is going to be a nice press piece for us and we can't launch it until we have good fit photos, AND the weather in NYC was total shite when we planned to shoot those yesterday.

I'll post up studio photos and measurments of the pieces in the next day or two. We can always take orders via email or phone for anyone who's really keen to order them before the launch. Otherwise we're planning to have the full presentation of it next week.

Mike,

would there be any reason to size differently than my other Doyle? I did know if this material may lay in a way that would create any difference?

Mike,

Nope. This will be washed so the sizing should be consistent with the duck canvas Doyles. The factory needs a 0.5" allowance at the seams, as washing/shrinkage can vary a bit from piece to piece, but you can expect it to work well with the duck canvas. Same weight and most likely a similar hand too.

For the EPLA Doyle Jacket Cone Mills Heavyweight Chambray, can you do long or larger sizes or it is limited to the sizings listed?

No, just the sizes and dimensions listed for the Doyle. That said, if you're wearing a larger size than the length may be okay. Check out Oisin's fit photos - he's a very tall guy who takes a 40 in the Doyle. It may look a little cropped, but the rules aren't so strict on a casual piece like this. Just depends on what you're comfortable with.

We're going to see if we can eventually make the EPLA Sportcoat in a long.

Hey Mike,

If I'm between 38 and 40R in Caine Hopsack (have 38), should I go for size 39 in Doyle?

thanks

Even as a younger guy, I love higher rise pants (also one of my favorite things about the Walt cut). It also happens to work better with my build of longer torso and shorter legs, with the extra length being in the waist/hips. It's been said before, but that's also what I loved about the wardrobe in Her.

It probably does depend a bit on proportions, though a certain GTH mindset can help. Have to admit I didn't see Her, but I see from the photos what you are talking about and I like it. Seems GQ is not a fan (and I'm more than OK with that):

Thanks. And this is technically my low rise look...

Very nice combination. The burgundy hopsack is really an all-star.
