RUDY SPECIAL ORDERS FOR FALL '13 FABRICS

Hey guys!

Okay, so we're going to try something new for this season. Rather than doing a week-long order period, we're going to take Rudy preorders on demand. Adele built out an item online where you can see the available fabrics and place your order. We've kind of overwhelmed the factory with Rudy orders all at once, so I think this will cut down the turnaround time significantly.


Special Order Rudy Trouser Fall 13 Fabrics

Right now we've got 7 fabrics available there, but we'll build out additional ones as they become available and take out others as they sell out.

In terms of availability, there's only enough to make a few units of Nightshade and the Windowpane Flannels, so I wouldn't wait too long on those if you like them. UK Donegals and Oxford Grey should hold out for a while yet.

This is great! Just ordered a few. Does this mean that the wait for delivery will be significantly less? Will this menu always be there so that one can pop in and place a Rudy order from available fabrics instead of waiting? Thank you!!

How does one go about an MTO Rivet Chino and also are the fabrics viewable on the site? I'm on my second pair of R/Cs and they are probably the best fitting off the rack trouser casual trouser I've ever had.

With that being said, are Rivet Chinos available in Walt fabrics? I really don't want to deviate from the R/C fit.

Great! Glad that you dig them! Here's the current lineup of MTO Rivet fabrics, all of which are cotton or cotton-ripstop...

I'll put up the wool options next week. They're going to be bonkers! We won't be able to offer Rivets in the same fabrics as the Walt, but these will tick some of those boxes.

Thank you sir! And yes, the delivery should be faster with this system, as it's easier for the factory to cut Rudy's in small batches. And we'll look to update the Rudy item with all of the new fabrics, and we'll build out a separate one next week for carryover goods that we do every season (wool hopsack, 120s, UK canvas, etc).

OK, I have to return to the topic of the tweed sport coats. We have a number of options with these, but my first thought is that these heavier tweeds almost have to be fully lined, with a little structure in the shoulder. Patch pockets will be best, and probably with flaps. In many cases, elbow patches will be a nice touch. With heavy tweed I think you want to go with horn buttons. So despite having other options, I think the Epaulet "Daltrey" style will often prevail.

Regarding the elbow patches: we have three choices, tan suede, chocolate suede, and self. Is the tan suede the same as the goat suede that has been offered in the past? This is a nice fabric.

I am still looking at the oatmeal Donegal, although the rusty violet herringbone also looks good. The oatmeal looks like the kind of SC you could wear almost all the time, as a default. I think I would get the oatmeal with either no elbow patches or the chocolate suede. But the rusty violet has more interesting colours. For those who have seen the fabric, does it read as a mostly brown fabric?

I'd be curious to hear what others are thinking.

I agree with the patch flap pockets and full lining and structured shoulder. I too am curious to see how those colors read in real life. Not sure about the elbow patches though...doubt I will go for them but maybe.

I'm looking to get some moleskin trousers for fall, would it be better for me to wait for you to build out the Rudy options in the store, or should I do an e-mail order?

Also, do you know the weight of your moleskin fabric?

 

[Dbear]

Can you guys give us a clue on what shirts you'll be getting in this fall? Thanks. Trying to map out the buying.

Boots are bangin and knit is Bad A too...love the color.

True that. Always pays to be err on the side of (over)clarity on web fora.

Your explanation of the virtues if Epaulet's way of handling out-of-its-market sizing is very well stated.

Always. SVB's got his hitlist all drawn up already.

EDIT: Disclaimer is always nice. People get passions so flamed so quickly it's not worth the risk.[/quote]

.

More violet actually. I was in the other day and had thought that fabric was off my list until I saw it in person. It's certainly muted, but the violet is more pronounced overall than the brown and more than in the image, I think. It's pretty great.

hey mike
what would the windowpane jacket look like ? SB or DB.
any way to see?

 

[venividivicibj]

anyone have experience with the charred forest? the website picture makes it look charcoal and the green only comes out in the super magnification, is the green/gold texture visible in real life, and would your recommend it?
