Very happy with the oxblood. Hopefully there are some Ms in the extra red gingham flannels. I've been kicking myself for not buying it when I had the chance.

I'm debating blue as well...already have an Epaulet blue seersucker plus a blue OCBD from Wang or whatever. Whoops, also have the Epaulet blue chambray. So many choices...

Okay guys, the shirts are up! I still have the replace the detail shots within the descriptions (they're currently set to the brown flannel), but everything else is built and ready for checkout.

Oxblood Corduroy: $130

Exploded Check: $130 And a note on the Exploded check pattern matching. We had really limited fabric (it was a close-out) to work with, so I gave the cutting room some leeway to position the shirt. The horizontal stripes should match up, but it's not definite whether the actual color bands would match up. I figured that it's best to get more shirts, as some customers might dig the "mash up" look. The colors are super-bold already, so the irregular pattern can come off as playful. I was able to make 12 units. I received 2 yesterday and the other 10 will be delivered this evening. Of the two units I have, one is perfectly pattern-matched, and the other one (the one I shot) is mashed-up. When I get the balance of the shirts this evening, I'll know exactly which shirts are made what way. I'll shoot and post images of both the regular and irregular pattern in the next few hours. If you've been waiting to buy an exploded check shirt, then don't worry. If you purchase the shirt now, I'll send you images of the exact shirt that you'll receive once they arrive tonight, so you can see it before we ship. If you don't like it, I'll put through an immediate refund for you.

We're getting 12 units of this, and I'm actually not sure how many will be matched and how many will be mashed up (posted the details above). I'll have the full rundown tonight.

I do know that I love the phrase "visual bitchslap." Jesus, if I had an electro-rock band, that would be our name in a heartbeat!

Just to be clear, the black tartan is still coming right?


Thanks! I'll do a fit pic with the oxblood on in a bit, it's really nice. The fabric is phenomenal. It''s soft, but still has density, so it's warm and not floppy.

Will do.

Mike, would it be possible to request a lined up pattern variation of the shirt if supplies allow it?
