Love the Ashland! Q: I always think spread collars look best w/ a tie. Do you see a lot them w/ out? What do peeps on here think?

I wear mine without ties all the time and I love the look. This is probably more common in the UK than in the US.

Likewise. The Liberty shirts have cutaway collars and I wear them without neckwear.

Anyone know which Carmina styles they're rolling out late next week in their big shipment?

My fiancée has this older SLR with a fisheye lens and I thought it would be cool to get some shots with it at the trunk show here in LA last weekend. Turns out, I don't really know what I'm doing and half the shots didn't really come out. They're all pretty shallow focus, and in odd areas, and the ones she took look a lot better than the ones I took, but here ya go:








The Veneto looks a little big on me, but damn is it ever an awesome piece.




















Then I forgot to bring it to Karaoke but luckily Mike got a ton of good shots on his camera.

Rivets look a bit large


Thanks so much for picking up all that gear! I'd agree with the other posters, the Rivets look a little bit big on you. If you were in the States, I'd trade them out for a different pair, but given that you're in France, you might want to check out a tailor. It's entirely possible to slim up both the legs and waist a bit, and you'll get a custom fit after that's done. For the next order, you might consider dropping 1" in the size that you order.

Cutaway collars look great without ties. Our customers wear them that way all of the time. They frame your face nicely, and they tuck well under a jacket or cardigan. I think that Gitman/Ashland makes one of the best-proportioned cutaways out of any shirtmaker anywhere.

Haha, I should be the one who knows, but I'm honestly not sure. I received a customs declaration for 100 units, but it doesn't break down what's inside there. We'll know next week when it's all received.

I do know, unfortunately, that the Pythons aren't in there. They'll have to be sent separately because they require a "fish & wildlife" entry visa. Really. It's crazy. They should come with our mid-October shipment, so no much longer on those.

Thanks so much for shooting and posting these! I was kicking myself for not shooting more pics while the show was going on . These are great.

How did you guys packed those stuff in your suit cases?!

I hope there were some OG gangster rap songs being karaoke'd. I can see Stanley doing "Straight Outta Compton".

I never told anyone what to do. I'm for legalizing most drugs, prostitution, etc.... Libertarian here.
BUT SMOKING MAKES THE CLOTHES LOOK LESS APPEALING TO ME. I associate it with cancer (like your grandmother had) and uncleanliness. Some people think it's cool or sexy. Maybe that's the market the pictures where made for.


Haha, I read your first post as a soap-box post. I dig the cigarettes in pictures....

Seems we have a newcomer in the shirt section:



It's dubbed "Bright buffalo check", in error I guess?

EDIT: fixed on the site. Damn, seems I'm grabbing that shirt

Haha, you beat us to it! The correct images are uploaded now:

Buttondown Collar Shirt Bright Buffalo Check: $150

This shirt is absolutely freaking killer. Not to hype anyone out, but there's only 12 units available, as we sold about 14 in the stores since it arrived last Thurs. We're zapped out on this cloth, so if this piece grabs you, you might want to pick it up sooner than later.

Been into Epaulet for a while, so no need to say twice

Btw, what are those Austrian strangers Rob is talking about?
