  • Epaulet x Styleforum Alpine Loden Collection

    Loden wool, woven in Tirol for centuries, is known for its resistance to cold and wetness. Our project in collaboration with Epaulet introduces Alpine Loden, a modern 18oz fabric blend of 75% merino wool and 25% nylon, woven in Italy. It's lighter, more durable, wind-resistant, and more comfortable than traditional Loden fabric. Partnering with Rochester Tailored Clothing, we offer custom garments like sportcoats, suits, and overcoats, made to your specifications. Learn more about the Loden collection here.

Overall… very happy. The fabric is gorgeous. The jacket is a near perfect fit in the shoulders and chest and the right length, to boot! I might take in the waist a little but I don’t want to lose the chest drape. Going to be wearing this a lot!

It doesn't need to be brought in. The drape is great. Victor has excellent taste and a discerning eye that reflects in all the products he sells.
As an aside, your face is still visible through the white, so you might want to use black instead or some other mechanism to hide it.

Agreed. I’m reluctant to touch the drape as it might screw up the overall balance. As for my face, I’m old, ornery, and not all that fussed, but thanks for the suggestion, mate.

Looks fantastic - I wouldn’t touch a thing. Also, your pose screams ‘I’m going to kick your ass”.
Thanks! You might not be able to tell, but the fabric is warm and comfy yet remarkably light! Perfect three-season sport jacket.

Has anyone got any picture of Besnard jumpers as worn, or any thoughts on their fit? (Size chart reads like I should take XL, which surprises me.)

Loved the Florentine cut so much I decided to pick up the navy hopsack as an MTO! Now for the tortuous wait…
Thank you for another order. It's a pleasure to hear that you are satisfied with the sport coat. Your belt will be shipped today!

Did you take your normal size?
Yes. That’s 38 Short. Have a look at the MTO section of their site. They have Short and Long options, with the option of choosing your sleeve length and pocket config.

PS I just received it — Looks great. I’ll post pics once the canvas has settled and the jacket has moulded itself to my frame.

More pics of the hopsack on an unusually sunny WFH day in Winter. Highly, hugely recommend trying out Besnard’s tailoring, if you get a chance.

PS the Horween Chomexel belts are very nice as well.
