Man, I wish Epaulet would make more XS shirts. After eyeing the Corduroy Blackwatch shirt since the day it came out, I finally gave in today and ordered a small. Hopefully it will get a bit tighter after a warm wash, and if it's still a bit big, I'll tailor it (although I'm not sure if a tailor can alter shoulders).

they can but it will effectively shorten your overall sleeve length. also, it is quite expensive and so generally not worth it. i've had it done once, and the result came out great. but had it not been a shirt for a wedding in which I was the best man, it would not have been worth the cost.

Just posted my pair of size 34 never-worn-out of the house Hoyts for sale in B&S. Hoping I can use the proceeds to fund a purchase of the next size up.

+1, although I'm curious -- how much did you pay for the shoulders?

Just got my tweed sportcoat in the mail, and wow, this thing is GORGEOUS. Totally worth the wait.

You guys know you can just call the store(s) to place orders right? It's double vented.
