^Same here. I would only size up on the sashiko if the standard Doyle fits you slim.

This ^^ I think it really depends on how the other Doyles fit you and how you intend to wear it. I stuck with the same size and though it's a bit more snug/short compared to my canvas doyle I like that with the sashiko fabric. I can wear it like a sweater around the office and even reach for another jacket over it when needed.

Thanks for the sashiko sizing advice guys
I think sizing up is the move for me. My canvas in 40 is snug when my arms are in front of me - tight even.

Always an honor to get regrammed by Mike and Adele on IG. Thanks to the EP crew for making great clothes so that even a goofy dork like me can look handsome!

Length is the same.
Toebox is lower on the trainer and more tapered. Sport trainer is nice and comfy right off the bat in the toebox.

Both are 9.5. And as you can see I beat the **** out of the museum calf, been through the rain many times. Have worn them a lot. Holding up well aside from fading to the finish in high wear areas.

Yeah. I just wiped them before the photo quickly. So they are damp and appear darker and less mottled

@Epaulet

Any word on spring/summer IS fabrics/promo? Aside from the prints and those killer linen denims.

While we're on the subject of Individualized, I realized that the tailor I get shirts from in town here uses them to make my shirts. Does that mean they have a pattern on file for me I can use for Epaulet orders?

Anyone here owns Maison Margiela GATs, Common Projects Achilles and the EP Sport Trainers? How does the sizing of the EP Sport Trainers compare to the other two?

IE) I own a 41 CP Achilles and a 41.5 Maison Margiela GAT.
