Probably a dumb question, but will I get the "Special Coupon" (TM) if I buy a gift certificate?
Yes, the Special Coupon (R) will be sent to everyone who placed an order between Dec 6 and 31. It's void if the order is returned, of course (we don't want to create an incentive for people to place fake orders just to get a coupon - we know none of you guys would ever act like that - but other people may)

We just want to reward those of you who keep us in mind when they do their holiday shopping. We have beautiful scarves and accessories for the ladies in your lives BTW

Size 10 US -> size 8.5 thuya correct?

I'm currently rocking size 8 when I'm a size 10 US. Right foot is kind of snug but I can still get the shoe on and off without undoing the laces. I'm going to have to wear an insole for my weaker foot since I prefer close fits for my shoes.

Yes, I have a 54 - I could also make 52 work but I like the looser fit on that one

Oof, do most size down a full size? Half-size appears to be the general recommendation

I'd say half size down from UK size for a loafer-ish, easy-in easy-out fit and vibe. Full size down from UK size for a snug, need to tie and untie laces to get in and out, fit.

Hi friends, after my hiatus I'm back in business and, as far as I can tell, getting off on the right foot with something I've been excited about for a while.

We're doing another run of special order Tony shirts, including a few long-rumored styles and other ones that were brainstormed with some of the StyFo family like @g transistor @troika and @dotcomzzz

The first is a very limited run of the special two-tone Western denim that I have. It was made as a sample when we were prototyping the Western but I've gotten so much good feedback over the past year on it that I've bullied Tony into doing a run of it for us. The catch is that the fabric is very limited so we can only produce five of these, and that's it with no potential to do more in the future.

Since it's probably not apparent in photos, the main medium-wash part of the body is a medium weight denim, the same weight as the Western we initially stocked, but the darker portions are a much softer and lighter one that in addition to providing that contrast, makes it wear a little easier lighter. I alternate wearing mine as a shirt or shacket.

All the other details we love are there though, like the beautifully mitered pockets, the unique cuff design, and those hardy pearl snaps.

Link to buy is here, with deadline for orders Sunday the 15th and delivery in mid-January.


The second is something I'm REALLY excited about, which is an all-new Western style from the man. This is a little more refined of a style, the kind that I'm going to be very tempted to pair with a Camoshita suit perhaps. But instead of denim we're doing this one in fine wale cotton corduroy. Think black for something rock'n'roll (I've already put myself down for one of these) or cinnamon brown for something to pair with workwear or the type of stuff we often style.

To complement the more elegantly curved yoke and refined details, we're going with those vintage cat-eye MoP buttons, but it can be done with the MoP snaps by request if you'd prefer that. We can also do either of the corduroy options in the original Western style as well, by special request.

Link to buy is here, with deadline for orders Sunday the 15th and delivery in mid-January.


Lastly, we can't get enough of that shacket style and found another fabric we could get as excited about as the first run - this time a plush cotton moleskin. It will drape nicely and break in even better, and I look forward to seeing those creases in the elbows and softening over time.

We've identified three colors that we think will look really sharp, which are a sage green, an ochre, and then a strong red-orange. This one is redder than the first burnt orange we did, but not quite as bright as blaze orange or something like that. I think it will be awesome on its own or layered all fall, winter, AND spring, pairing equally well with raw denim, washed denim, corduroy, or fatigues.

Details remain the same on this, with side seam hand-pockets and all of the beautiful finishing that we've come to expect.

Link to buy is here, with deadline for orders Sunday the 15th and delivery in mid-January.

Some other fine print: since these aren't a pre-order they aren't eligible for pre-order discount, but please do use SF10.

If you have a MTM pattern filed away with Tony any of these styles can be made using that.

That should about cover it, but please ask here if you have any questions! If I don't have the answer I can run them by Tony.

Personally, I'm tempted by the black corduroy western (I also have the cinnamon shacket...).
