Love it. Definitely planning on getting at least one finestra on my next order.

@Nik Telford - cool, I thought it would be your style!

Shirt looks great Mike. Definitely more contemporary than I was expecting. I'd likely go double chest pockets abd drop the epaulets, but that's just s personal choice. Fabric looks great too

@rydenfan thanks! I think the fabric works perfectly with this. And his costume design is great. They definitely put the other dudes in very 70s throwback clothes, but Bobby Cannavale's stuff looks a lot more modern. Kind of like 1970s style and current Neopolitan stuff had a kid.

The show got better as the season went on, but I appreciated the clothing in it from day one.

Hot damn so nice and perfect fit. Deep regrets not pulling the trigger on this last year. Anyone have this Wyatt? for sale in L or XL?

Agreed... that thing looks really boss on @justinkapur

@dcinitial The Wyatt as it stood is discontinued, but I'll have a sample to show you guys shortly of our Cafe Racer design for Fall. It will be made in Portugal of cowhide, but retail should be around $595, which is what the Wyatt was on markdown. Similar shape and overall profile. Might be your jam.

Awesome, thanks Mike. Looking forward to it for the fall season.

@Epaulet any other fabric recommendations for this style?

@Nik Telford Any of the other chambray's are good in this, and I'd also love it in a solid linen. We have an Ivory white linen going up this week which would be rad in the Finestra shape. Very "Purple Label."

In the world of dressy shirting, either the white or blue Sea Island cotton (in the "S" price range) would also be seriously boss in this.

After much deliberation, 3 new Full Button Heirlooms will be arriving this fall - Bordeaux, Charcoal & Oatmeal. I'll probably end up ordering another one or two if @Epaulet does a second run, like last year.

Any advice on sizing the heirlooms relative to chest size? I've got a 36 chest but sometimes take a 34 and sometimes a 36. Not sure what to go for in the heirloom.

I'd go 36. I sized up from 38 to 40 this time around, but I tend to find the EPNY fit a little tight in the chest. My hooded cardigan in 38 from the last round is too tight around the chest and body.

The "Finestra" Sample


Okay, it's been a few weeks, but our swaggy chambray sample shirt just came in. Inspired by the costume design on Vinyl, I spec'd out the following:

Unlined Artisan Collar
Dual Flap Chest Pockets
Shoulder Epaulets
Indigo Chambray




1000






1000



And... I'm kind of in love with this shirt! Especially paired with the cotton Taylor pants. I feel like it's something that Helmut Newton would wear on a photoshoot in Joshua Tree park.

What do you guys think? Any fabric could be "Finestra-ized" for $25 extra, or you can do the extra pocket for $10 and epaulets for $15.

Cool shirt! But the chest pockets seem 1/2"-1" too low. Maybe it's just my eyes.

It may be the high waisted pants that make the pockets seem low in proportion to the waist.
