    The Official Epaulet B-S-T Thread

    Hey EP fans, I'm selling two awesome recent purchases from Epaulet due to sizing issues. Both are Individualized shirts from recent Epaulet promotions. Both are unworn and unwashed. Photos are attached. Please DM with any other questions you may have. The first is their Avignon Delave Linen in...

    The Official Epaulet B-S-T Thread

    Epaulet's famous speckled chambray shirt. The first run on this awesome shirt (so runs a touch small). This is a size S that's been worn and washed three times. In pretty impeccable condition. Love this shirt, but it's just a bit too tight in the midsection (thanks to my love of carbs). Offer...

     You use any product to darken these or just pure sunlight?

     I actually meant if he (or previous owner) used oil or conditioner to darken it, or if it darkened just through sunlight.

     Any doctoring here or pure sunlight?

     I'm a 8.5 in Barrie, 9 in Alden Aberdeen, 7.5 UK in Carmina and the 9 in EP footwear fits me perfect across the tennis trainer, sport trainer and runner.

    All week long I said to myself, I don't need another pair of shoes. I don't need another pair of sneakers. I don't need another pair of Margom sole sneakers. I don't need another pair of suede Margom sole sneakers. I got the slip-on in washed indigo.

    Just went through 15 pages on this thread. Work's been nutzo so no time for fashunz! Mike, did I read correctly that we could essentially order an MTO sneaker (at a higher price pint of course)?

     Thanks! Not buying CPs! Just needed a reference point for another maker!

    Question for folks here. How does the sizing (primarily in length) compare between EP tennis trainers and Common Projects' similar style? I need that as a reference point. For context, I wear a US 9/EU 42 in EP tennis trainers. Thanks for any help!

     Agree with Justin and Peppercorn. Part of the fun, now that I have a wardrobe plenty big enough, is the anticipation of a unique order, or just seeing a shipping notice pop in my email out of nowhere. That said, think about the economics of this more than the "fun." You may want Mike to be...

    Mike, I'm way late on this and we talked briefly about the Alden situation a few weeks back. But here are my thoughts: I have four pairs of Aldens and all but one are strictly casual shoes for me. And casual shoes for fall through early spring at that. I'm not a guy who likes to wear commando...

     Highly recommend the big foliage flannel. That thing is cozy as hell and the colors are nice and lively for dreary winter days.

     Co-sign. Never understood the allure of a fake serial number on the side of the shoe, especially since it apparently costs $150 for CP to apply it on the side given the price difference.

     If anyone is on the fence about these, consider this pic. It's a cardigan vest bought by my wife's grandfather in the 70s in England, handed down to her father and then to me a couple years ago. Made by William Lockie.
