sorry should have been more specific, how does the denim quality compare to APC or 316?

That GANT rainslicker is sick. I wish I had the cash so I could get it.

I have the GANT Hiker Parka from Fall '10 and it is just as awesome. Love GANTs outerwear.

As a whole, the Gant and Gant MB is fitting a size bigger than Epaulet shirting. The only exceptions are the Gant MB Seersucker Sportcoat and the Gant short sleeve madras shirt


Seem to be pretty comparable to me. I have two GANT Rugger shirts that fit me very similarly to my two Epaulet shirts...

I'm thinking about renting a huge karaoke room at the Little Tokyo mall and having an absolutely insane party. Would any of you Los Angeles peeps be interested? Any preference for the 22nd vs. the 23rd?


Hey if you're still thinking of doing this, I would make a new thread or some kind of announcement so that the rest of the LA people who may not frequent this thread will see it.

Hey Mike,

You by any chance know if you will be getting that Gitman dish towel shirt in the blue color scheme? I like the red but feel like I could potentially look like an idiot in that color.

I'm feeling a little regret on not grabbing an XS Doublefaced Charcoal Tartan shirt. I know that's probably not coming back, but is there a chance of any other double faced shirts down the line? and if anyone has one they'd be willing to let go of, please let me know

Hmm, that's a tough one. All three are made of different denims. Although our denim (Kurabo) and 316's (Kaihara) is generally held in higher regard than the denim that APC uses.

Haha, sorry about mixing up the cards but at least we got the product right! Hope that you dig the shadow dot. Man, that thing sold out fast as hell - we've got exactly one unit (one size medium) left. Fabric is totally out of production in Japan, so that's it for the season.

Oh man, the Hiker was incredible! What a great jacket.

Yes, but the fit is definitely bigger this season. It's not necessarily relaxed, it's just scaled up one. Probably so that the sizing is more consistent with larger American brands. Anyone interested in the Gant MB shirting should definitely order a size down from Epaulet sizing.

Not yet, but should be soon! (sorry I know I keep saying that)

Absolutely, will do. I'm going to confirm it for Tuesday night.

Yes, actually - we just got four units of Medium and one Large. I'll put it online later today.

Hmm, I'm sure that we'll do some more for the Fall. But rest assured, I have plenty of sick XS shirts coming soon!
