Well, this is unfortunate... :( noticed this today while applying Saphir Renovateur. Exactly two years old.

Such an odd place to crack since it is a low-flex area ... unless you kick there to remove the shoe?

That's the only rational explanation that I have. I don't remember doing it but I must've done it at some point for this to happen.

Maybe a cobbler can glue it back on for you.

I was thinking the same thing. My son has de-soled and re-soled several pairs of vintage Air Jordans. He pulled the whole sole, cleaned up the new/donor/existing sole and the upper, and then re-glued it with Barge Infinity Cement (which can take the flex/etc. associated with footwear. You could try a more local approach with the same adhesive (there's a similar product from Barge at Home Depot that apparently OK in a pinch, but the serious sneakerheads apparently recommend the Infinity version highly), but getting a clean surface might be tough, especially when you want to avoid making that split worse...

@herzzreh - I would definitely bring them to a cobbler. I have the bad habit of kicking my shoes off as well and one came unglued. It didn't crack like yours but my local guy fixed it up for me on the cheap and they are as good as new now

Does anyone have a phone number to get in touch with Epaulet that they could PM me? I have emailed and PM-ed here and can't seem to get a response.

HERTLING WALT TROUSER LAST HURRAH

Hey guys,

Okay quick heads up. I've been speaking with Hertling and it looks like they'll be open for another three weeks. They have a lot of cloth on hand, and want to do one final round of trousers.

At this point, I think we can have this live tomorrow. It has to be easy for them, so we're only going to offer Walt trousers, only stock details and unfinished inseams and possibly in a restricted size range. But they'll be amazing pricing ($150 cottons & linens, $175 wools) and delivery in about three weeks.

I'll be in touch as it takes shape!

Received red shadow plaid shirt today. Very pleased with this one. The fabric is burly. I imagine it will soften after a wash, but I like the weight, it is perfect for a shirt of this nature. I generally take a large in Epaulet, this one fits true to size for me. Quality of this shirt is superb, I love the details: corozo buttons are great, construction is solid. Feels like this shirt will last for many years. Not the most important detail I know, but the new label is cool!

More of a Rudy guy than a Walt guy, but will be standing by for this!

@kingoflondon looks awesome on you... thanks for picking it up!

@duff406 @nycs10011 yeah, apologies.. I can only get them to cut one shape on this. But that said, you can size up one on the Walt and then take in waist to get an approximate Rudy fit.
