You're thinking right with the white ocbd. I do a blue ocbd with my old pair.

heather black (dark gray), white, or blue Ts or henleys would also work nicely.

This has been my experience as well. It completely screwed me up because I had purchased a few GVs in S after deciding that was my size in Epaulet, and both fit me well. A season or two later, I found some other GVs were bigger and others were smaller; I just couldn't be sure any more.

I'm glad Epaulet is consistent across fabrics, styles and seasons.

This is also why I like Ashland shirts -- you get the Gitman craftsmanship and fabrics with a consistent fit. (Obviously Epaulet shirts are made really well, but Gitman is Gitman.) And the Ashland fit personally works really well for me.

^Interesting, Keith. DId you attach the tongue pads yourself? I read that some have a cobbler put in the pads for them for a custom fit. I also see some cut the pads in half and space them out. I think I will try on a pair this weekend.

I did. They're just two-dollar stick-on pads that I put on the inside of the tongue myself. No surgical procedure required.

Will Rudy pre-orders be available in petrol blue in the future?

Any idea when the oxford rivets will be restocked?

Any new madras upcoming?

Blaze...should I wash these in warm to get a bit more shrink? Or suck it up and take em back to the tailor and have them fix the length (I think its a touch too long)?

Twill Walts. I gotta thing for orange.


You wear them excellently Rob. I tried to pull the trigger last week but couldn't justify when I could wear them. Orange is my fave color as well. Maybe the orange shades go well on our mediterranean skin tones?

I like your 2" cuff...these may shrink a bit over time...maybe leave them be for a while and then revisit the fit in 6 months?

Not really digging the camo chinos. I think you have to have an edgy kind of look about you to be able to pull them off.
If you are like NYR with the facial hair and sleeve tatts then you can look cool in them but if you are a clean cut short back and sides
kind of guy then I feel the camo look is not for you.
