@Epaulet Any chance we could get photos of the Sienna Farmers Check, Lovat Blue Plaid, and Graphite and Lapis Check? Thanks!

Mike, could you snap some quick iPhone pics of those? Muchas gracias.

Is there any possibility of larger sizes for shirting MTO? The XXL fits me like a L or XL and I need something larger :(


Have you tried the Keystone fit? For me it works better than the EP fit

Just want to mention that I've been living in my ring-ring Wilshires since getting them a little more than a week ago. Great fit and construction with an amazing saturated blue color and incredibly soft hand. I feel like I'm wearing pajamas.

Would it have more room in the chest and body? My order says the fit was "EPAULET Fit" and it like wearing a leotard around my midsection in an XXL. Most brands I can fit in an XL Tall or sometimes need to go to an XXL Tall. If the Keystone fit is larger then I may need to try that. The Chambray MTO I received is so stinking sweet and well made so it is a bit crushing that it is too tight and that I don't know if I'll get a fit or if they will expand their sizes so that I can wear their stuff.

Yes. I am somewhat stocky with broad shoulders. A L in Keystone fits me better in the chest than an XL in EP fit

Also, it looks like the Keystone fit is now called the Ashland fit? Does anyone know the measurements for an XXL in the Ashland (aka Keystone) fit? The charts on the MTO shirts look like they only list the dimensions for up to Large for the Ashland fits...

If you send us your typical measurements then I can shoot that over to Gitman. We can certainly do an XXL in Ashland/Keystone, but one of their house fits might be better for you overall.

Yup, the Ashalnd/Keystone Large is about a half size bigger than Epaulet Xl.

Oh great, glad to hear it! Thanks for picking them up.

Oh, sorry that I missed this the first time around. I actually don't have images of those. I just happened to have the Oatmeal Donegal jacket because a customer ordered that as an MTO last Fall. Nearly all of the factory finds options only exist as swatches.

That said, definitely get the Sienna Farmers Check. That one's going to be freaking amazing.

I've likened my Wilshires to pajamas too, in the best possible. I think it's that one wash and the quality of the denim.


New tees look really nice. Bottle green will be a great shade. I'm in for that. And then Henley... Overdye or indigo... Choices choices. Leaning overdye right now.

What was the answer to the corduroy FF jacket? I think you forgot to answer it in your last post. Thanks!


It was up briefly on the site, but no pictures of swatches. It appears the two colors are olive-ish green and a dark gray that is almost navy.

Hmm, wonder if it sold out.

This is a pretty great round of FF jackets. My goal was to just pick up one, but now I'm thinking about two. I agree with Mike and think the Sienna Check is going to be great. It was on my list, but decided that I didn't need it since I picked up a guncheck pattern last time around. For those of you interested in scale (I think the Clay Farmers Check is also similar), I imagine it will look really close to this:





It would be killer with a burgundy tie and chocolate cords.

Maybe, I'd be surprised if cord went that quick. Excited to see it though!
