Just a guess, but probably if the other measurements will work. In my experience the waist felt pretty roomy and I probably could have sized down to 32, but felt like I liked the thigh and knee were better in 33.


My rivets fit me perfectly in a 30. I sized down to a 29 in the Wilshire and I'm glad that I did. They were pretty snug (but not too tight) at first but have stretched a very small bit to perfection. If you think the waist in a 30 is too tight from the measurements, I wouldn't expect it to stretch very much.


I'm also waiting for the 31s to restock. After speaking with Mike I feel the 30s would be too tight. I am a 31 in Walts and 32 in rivets. I feel the 32 wilshires would be a tad bigger than I'd like.

Thank you gentlemen!! I think I will stick with 31.

Couple questions on spring/summer stuff:

1) Do you have any pics, specs, ETA on the new trainer? Somewhere I think you said it would be a new design but still GAT style?

2) Are there plans to stock something similar to the Nori? I was hoping to pick up a pair--seems like an ideal pant for a grey trouser guy. But I guess they were too popular with Epaulet fatties like me (36).

Thanks.

Is there any update to the Vass pre-order from last October? I think the original estimate was something like 2-5 months. We're right around 3 right now, are these still on track to make it here within the next 2 months?


I'd love an update, too.

(thanks!)

Epaulet blue OCBD and grey regimental twill pants
Mike -- photo question, why do these shoes keep photographing like they are florescent or something? I swear the color is not as jarring IRL...

The contrast is great though. What are they?

A lot of nice footwear on this thread.

^I'll agree. I think the suede loafers and faded denim both say that you aren't trying to pretend that you are really dressed up (the way dark denim and laced shoes might). At the same time the fit is slim overall, so it's not as if you threw on a jacket with your work wear jeans.

Marcello looks great.

I assume there's no chance of a brief revival of the 25% code? I only ask because it looks like there are now two units of the Ironwood tweed in 33 that were not up last week.

Man, you do both casual and dressy-ish styles so damn well!

We're still working on the sneaker, but making good progress! Just saw a sample of a newer, slightly nicer leather, so they'll be incoming in the somewhat near future.

We typically run a tropical wool in the Nori/Pine tone, I'm almost positive we have that coming.

I'd love an update, too.

(thanks!)

Thanks guys! We have a shipment incoming from Vass and I believe all of our MTO shoes are in there. It shouldn't be more than a week or two out.

I think you killed this. That Marcello lends itself so well to washed out denim.

My only critique, of course you knowing me means take it with a grain of salt, is I would prefer no break on the jeans .

Ah, sorry about that. We should have them shot and launched sometime in the next few days. Looks like someone got a little anxious building them out and made the item visible (most likely me...).

Ah, no. Sorry about that. We were doing a little inventory in the shops yesterday and found some F/W stuff that wasn't on the site.

There's some Russett tweed, Mocha flannel and Ironwood showing on the site now!
