@Epaulet Sandows look terrific. I remember back in the day when you launched the original rivets, when they had actual rivets, you started with khaki and navy, and now look where we are. Hope these ones take over the internet just like their slimmer shop-mates.

I still wear those original khaki rivets, by the way. They've held up great for all these years.

@jvillal okay so I'm biased, but I've never seen a henley that's as good as ours. I'd actually love to make some more if I can actually find an interesting cloth to run it in. Something about the flat t-shirt knit was just too blah for many customers, but it would be perfect if we could source some indigo pique or so.

I vote for a re-run of the lightweight slubby cottons. I have two forest green ("pine") and two tobacco and I'm wearing them to death. Perfect for all weather, and though they're solid the slubs give them a lot of surface interest. As I recall, noted Instagram celebrity and diesel Mercedes enthusiast @StanleyVanBuren also enjoys the Epaulet slub henley.

AMAZING Mike! My wife did kindly remind me of erm..."lacking" posterior, which made this all the funnier. I'm one of those crossfit guys who can bang out metcons, but not squatting 400+ lbs. Now I've got something to shoot for, need to fit into those Sandows!

Everything in this statement is correct.

Has Spoo upgraded you to Internet Bigtimer yet

Really, though, gotta get more slub henleys. If I had known they were this fantastic, I would have bought more than just a few.

Can't wait to try them!

Went ahead and snapped up both pair in a 32. I wear a 32 Taylor and a 33 Rivet (with significant modification), and am hoping these will be perfect. Looking forward to other possible colors down the road too, like that awesome tobacco brown I had to pass up haha.

any plans for a re-stock of M cross check somelos shirts?

for guys who picked one up.. any shrinkage with cold washes? mine was the ultimate perfect fit when i got it but some idiot (me) put it in a warm wash, it shrunk a little. lost enough length on the arms to prevent wearing with a jacket but still perfect casual with rolled sleeve.

if the cold wash avoids shrinkage i'd roll the dice on one again.

LOL @ "Sandow"

Any chance of scoring a celebrity endorsement from Ronnie Coleman or Dorian Yates?

Doesn't every teenage boy go through a crisis of body image and buy a bunch of Weider mags?

@Epaulet Home Run on the Tobacco summer Rivets. Hoping for a new colorway to roll this season...

This morning I was putting on some EFF linen trousers that I got a few weeks ago and noticed that the tag inside said size 38. I am 90% sure I ordered a size 36. These trousers fit like a dream. I really hope they were just mislabeled and I'm not really a 38 now. :(

Well, I was reluctant to say this, but Don's photo makes me even more so... If anyone missed the boat on the tobacco rivets in a size 35, hit me up. I might have outgrown mine...

And they really are a lovely fabric, super soft and a great weight for the summer too.

I'm interested. I'll pm you.

@Michigan Planner I found that the linen Walts I own fit a bit more snug than wool/cotton; so I size up. I take size 32 in linen and 31 in wool/cotton. I know what you mean though, hate seeing that waist size go up (but if it's just the tag, then no harm haha)

I usually find linen more snug and less forgiving as well so I usually size up so it's possible that I ordered a 37, but I know there's no way I ordered a 38! lol

I wonder if Southwick (or maybe these were Hertling?) just doesn't have tags that say 37? Either way, I'm happy with how they fit, just not what they say inside.
