How is the thigh on the Walt compared to the rivet? The measurements suggest that the Walt is actually tighter.

Very cool. I like this one a lot. Sweater looks great in that fit.

I think Rob is trying to show off the new 150" LCD TV he bought in this submission. :foo:


I wish...this is just my humble attempt to out SVB SVB...actually, I just hope he's super busy on a really important case this week...or maybe with his girl on a couple of weeks vacation without internet service. :embar:

Another thing: we've always had a large amount of guys who like the Gitman Vintage / Ashland Fit. By request, we'll be able to offer MTO shirts in those fits as well.

Incredible news. Let me know what the available fabrics are and I will put in several Size Small cutaway collar orders immediately.

Great news about MTOs in the Gitman/Ashland fit. I can't wear the Epaulet shirts: the medium is too small in the chest and the large is too large in the collar, shoulder, and sleeve. Will you offer a spread collar in between the cutaway and the point?

Great news about the MTO shirts. It is only the sleeve length on the off-the-rack Epaulet shirts that doesn't work for me. Getting them a bit shorter makes the shirts an even better deal. I'll be sure to order some when this gets set up.

I've been offline for a while with the Holidays. I'm assuming that the contest is still going on.

Are there any pictures of the work jacket sample? I looked all over the thread and facebook and couldn't find anything.

Perfect - we'll look to kick this off in the next week or two! We can make both Epaulet and Ashland fits, and you can vary the sleeve length as you please. All three stores will have a fabric book available for you guys to look through, and I'll scan all of these swatches and shoot them in natural light for the online presentation.

Oh yes, here it is...

This was our very first fit samples, so there are no buttons on it, but this is the basic shape. We dialed in the fit to work with our mainline shirting, and it will also speak nicely to the LBM 1911 fit that a lot of our customers really like. We're looking at a January drop for this, and it will come in Navy, Moss, and Chocolate Duck. Planned price is $175, and it will be pre-washed and pre-shrunk.

Got another sample to show you guys too. We're working on some new sneakers for the Spring, kind of a minimal tennis shoe to complement the sport trainer that we have now. I'm still waiting on the smooth leather low-top sample, but I received a sample of our high-top design.
