Are these final sale?


Whoops! No they are not final sale or on sale - sorry about that.

I built this item off of the old Sport Trainer from 2013. It still had the old price ($275) as part of the item, so it was registering this as a markdown.

Man, amazing where the collection and the exchange rate has gone. This is a radically better product in much more expensive leather (CC is about 2x the cost of calf) and it's $20 less. Hell yes to progress!


Hey Mike, I'm not sure if you've gone into the specifics of why the current GAT is a radically better product than the old Italian made ones, but I'd be interested to learn the reasons.

One thing I think I prefer from the old version, purely based on pictures, is the sleeker looking side profile:

@Epaulet,

I love the CC tennis trainers, but have been resisting. I'm more of a CM guy. Do these pair well with linen or Hopsack walts and perhaps an SC? I'm going to Italy, Spain & France and will be doing a lot of walking and touring vineyards … so I've been thinking I should probably bring something like the tennis trainer.

Right now, I'm looking at mixing the soon to ship indigo linen DB suit, a cream linen SB suit, butterscotch linen walts, pale gray Hopsack walts, white canvas duck and tangerine linen walts. With some summer chambray and linen shirts.

Do you think the saddle color would go well with these? Also considering the mocha, but maybe too much contrast?

Thanks so much!

Hey guys,

All of the new product is rolling out in the next 2-3 hours.

Just a heads-up, I just put the new White/Grey sport trainer online. It is absolutely perfect. This is all-new production in Portugal, and it's better than its predecessor in every way.

I'd recommend buying TTS. If you own an old sport trainer then size down by 1/2 on the US size equivalent - those old ones ran a little big. Plus these are a much cheaper price due to our new baller exchange rate.

I have a feeling that these will sell through very quickly - just like the all-white Tennis Trainer - so don't wait too long if you want a pair. I'll have Loden Couro Cromo up in about 15 min.


EPAULET LOS ANGELES SPORT TRAINER WHITE CALFSKIN & GREY SUEDE $225.00
This may be a very dumb question, but can these be re-soled? I've never thought about re-soling sneakers before, because I've bought very, very cheap.

I would highly doubt it. They are like cemented on in some way. That being said they would take quite awhile to wear out...I wear my black trainers quite regularly and the soles show barely any signs of wear.

Apologies if this was covered earlier in the thread but I've gotten myself confused on the stretching of the old vs. new CXL belts. Will the new ones stretch out? Need to figure out if the one I just got is too big.

EPAULET BY NEW ENGLAND SHIRT HAND-WOVEN GUATEMALAN JACQUARD: $130.00

It's up. Officially the craziest shirt that we've ever made. It's so freaking awesome. Very lightweight.

1) Be sure to order a size up from your usual EPNY size

2) If you're 6' or taller, then it's going to look cropped on you. Note how it looks on Rich in the fit photo. Luckily the normal shirt rules get tossed out the window when something is this nutzo.

3) You'll have to care for this fabric. Strictly hand-wash or dry clean. If you hand wash then only hang dry. Keep it out of washers and dryers altogether.

CAN WE PLEASE HAVE EXTENDED SIZE PRE-ORDER FOR GAT?


+1 on this and the tennis trainer as well. Wasn't there some talk a while back about pre-orders for extended sizes and special runs of the tennis trainers?

How is the rivet fit compared to walt? Go same size in rivet as walt? Do they fit just as slim?

Are these trousers an olive color in person?

Can you wear untucked polos with these chinos? I ask because they have traditional pant pockets.


I size up one from my Walts for Rivets and then bring in the waist as needed. That will give me an extra bit in the thighs and rise/seat that I prefer. As for wearing them with untucked polo shirts, I think that's totally acceptable with the Rivets.

Mike, what time is the red chambray going up?


About five minutes.

And really, I'm not exaggerating. This is the greatest chambray that I've ever seen. It's like it was 3D printed from my dreams.
