What do you mean by button flaring?

Got my double-faced Olive Tartan and I have to say it is one of the best shirts I have ever bought.

For the price, too, it can't be beat. So excited about ordering more from Epaulet.

I was all about Gitman Vintage and Band of Outsiders button downs/oxfords, but I think Epaulet has them beat in cut, price, and style.

I'll still buy the occasional Gitman and BoO, i'm sure, but I'm looking forward to stocking up on Epaulet.

For reference: I wear BoO Medium, Gitman Small, and Epaulet Small.

BoO medium fits me perfectly in cut except that the arms end up a bit wide at the cuff (nothing a tailor can't remedy, but just mentioning). Gitman Vintage fits me perfectly but is a little tight in the neck. Epaulet in the same size as Gitman actually fits me perfectly throughout, no need for a tailor. Love it.

The hand on these double-faced shirts is incredible.

I think that a Small will be right on for you. It's a very true 36R.

Thanks so much - really glad that you're so pleased with it!

Can someone who owns a pair offer advice?


Please?

What are the buttons like on that shirt? Also, is it darted?
