@Don L yup, that's the plan!

@Epaulet For sleeve length I assume just leave the drop down box as regular and put the sleeve inseam in the comments?

@kickstand yes sir, that's perfect.

Got two more videos to upload.. all of the items should now have a direct link to a Google Photos album where you can view and download the swatches at 2400px

@Epaulet Mike, any idea what temp, the Snorkel Parka is rated to?

@el es dee I couldn't tell you exactly.. although from personal experience, these military ratings are a bit misleading. They'll always say something insane like -10 degrees F.

It uses the same insulation as our Snorkel Parka from a few years back, so you'll have no problem wearing it into the 20's with a thick sweater underneath it. I'm a wimp about cold, and even this kept me warm enough. It's a bit less insulated than a Canada Goose jacket.

You can read more about it at the American Trench site too

We've got the last of the 38's and 40's available. It's really a fantastic piece, and the best snorkel that I've seen given that Ventile outer shell.

IIRC the military temperature ratings of their clothing systems are given as if the item is considered properly deployed/utilized.

Proper deployment/utilization tends to take page after page of fine print and specific instructions into account, very little of which is actually printed on the already massive and nearly illegible tag inside the garment.

A parka might be rated to -10 F, but it might be "level seven" of a specific clothing system, and that -10 F assumes you're wearing all of the items from 1 though 6 (or 1-4 and 6, because 5 is incompatible when worn with 7, and so on).

Even the sizing instructions work like this. Just look at the ubiquitous M1965 field jacket. It says a tagged XS is for someone with a 33" chest or some other insanely tiny measurement, yet I'm pretty sure you could fit someone with a 40" chest into the XS. The 33" chest assumes a ton of other clothing and equipment being worn under the jacket, but you'd never know this unless you had the quartermaster's giant stack of paperwork explaining this.

Ok, so who's getting what?

My top 3 favorites are

Cloudy sunrise lightweight flannel
Dark olive subdued check in the budget tweed
and Washed ivory/teal/java which is just too awesome

Mike, earlier this year I picked up a moleskin called "Green Mist Moleskin" that's been pretty in the cold weather here in Toronto so far. Do you know what weight it is? Trying to use it as a benchmark for future purchases. Are the current MTO moleskin trousers the same weight?

I bought the Steel Blue Mohair suit last year and it is killer. I am definitely going to jump on another mohair or super 150 suit with these prices. 

Do you have any pictures of your mohair suit? I'm really interested in picking one up this time around. Also, how is the fabric weight? Would you say this is too warm for most of the spring?

Torn between chestnut and oatmeal flannel. I think an oatmeal trouser has to happen at the bare minimum.

The brown PoW with the blue windowpane in the non-promo section is also pretty fantastic.

I will try to take some pics later. I live in the NYC area and can easily wear it all year round.

That is my most worn Epaulet pant by far. It's so good.

Got an MTO pair of the navy moleskin Taylors in the mail to me right now. Ordered at the beginning of Nov, so pretty good turnaround time. Looking forward to the EFF trousers coming in too!
