are the new summer shirt fabrics up on the website? really digging the capri beach stripe!

Duuuude it's so great! I'll have it them all up on Friday. Masks are en-route as we speak

@Epaulet First time customer thinking about ordering a Doyle. I thought I read something about 15% off?

Also, of the Yoshiwa Tobacco denim, the olive ripstop and the French Blue which would be the lightest / most breathable for summer wear? Or are they all about the same - 3 season weight?

Finally, if I can't make up my mind tonight and have to wait for the next round will these fabrics still be available?

Thanks!

Thanks for posting!

The olive ripstop is far and away the lightest of those three. I can't recommend it enough. Figure its about the weight of an oxford shirt, but still very strong due to the ripstop weave. It's been our best-selling cloth in this round for a large margin.

Most of the fabrics will be available for future rounds, the only one that's really running short is Ultrafleck denim (which I'm gonna post about in a sec). But if you're sold on ripstop, I'd definitely encourage you to order that due to seasonality. Figure we'll be ready to ship this stuff in early June, which is going to be perfect ripstop season in most places. The Duck Canvas and all of the denims are effectively 4-season.

I won't do another round of these fabrics until this round is delivered, so a subsequent ripstop offering is going to have an August delivery, which means you miss out on most of the Summertime. I've run chinos in this cloth a few times before, and guys here can probably attest as to how great it is for the heat and humidity. This is officially the best ripstop that I've handled due to its soft finish as well.

Ultrafleck Denim

We're selling a bunch of this which is great. I've had a few dudes order Ultrafleck suits, which is bonkers. Since I ran a preorder for this in the past, I actually have some great content for it below. It's running short, so we can probably do about 5-6 more garments in it.

You can order Ultrafleck here as a Doyle or Sinclair

You can order Ultrafleck here as a Rivet or Wilhelm

1) Here's a photo of it fully made up in the Doyle. Will be equally boss in the Sinclair

2) I have a classic video of the cloth in our former Hermosa studio space. Comes complete with my OG name at the beginning and me sounding surprisingly gruff about things...

Tobacco denim Doyle ordered.

^ I ordered one too. Just looks too good.

 

[L.I.T.]

That variegated indigo stripe would make some awesome Wilhelms. Someone pull the trigger so I can see this make up.

Tell me someone ordered Exploded Cherries in a Rivet/Wilhelm

Don't even want the idea of exploded cherries near my you-know-whats

@Epaulet i haven’t heard anything about my tobacco denim Doyle from the Doyle fitpic contest from last fall. If that’s not already in progress can I switch to one of these other fabrics? Or can I get an update on that?

Provocative phrasing notwithstanding, how insane would this be? Picture full cherry suit karaoke to OPP.

Sitting out this round of Doyles but definitely in for some Individualized shirts!

 

[Epaulet]

THANK YOU SO MUCH everyone, the amount of custom orders that came in last night was both wonderful and humbling. We're all really so grateful for your business!

I'm going to be writing up and summarizing these orders all day, so the items are still up if anyone missed the deadline and wants to get in. I'm sure it's going to be a few more hours until I can actually send the fabric order in. Can't wait to make all of these gorgeous pieces!

@Epaulet Do you know what's going on with gitman? the ends for friends promotion in December 2019. I got the gonzo handsketch jacquard shirt. I saw your message from last time I asked, but I'd prefer to know more concretely what's going on. The website says gitman is open but mainly shipping in-stock orders and there may be delays. At this point, it's going to be 6 months in about 1 week from now. Is it possible to get a refund or store credit? I'd rather just have my money back since I basically have no reference for when I will ever receive the shirt. Another practical concern is that I'm a graduate student and I'm changing my address soon.

Eva,

Do you happen to know the status of the earlier spring custom Doyles? (The ones that closed late Feb/early March)

Many thanks

Hey Captain, just texted with the Gitman manager. The warehouse is open, but the actual factory itself is still shut down for all production outside of masks and gowns.

The shirts were 85% done, so once they reopen it should go through really quickly. Manufacturers in PA (Gitman) and MA (Southwick) are just waiting on government approval to resume operations. Individualized in New Jersey already got that. At the moment, they're planning to resume in mid-May, but there's no guarantees on that. There's kind of no guarantees on anything these days.

Shouldn't be long off. But check out the Individualized stuff going up today... I'll be happy to order one of those for you as a substitute. And the gonzo handsketch is going to get finished one way or another, so you can decide if you want that down the road.

And outside of that... I'm absolutely going to cook up a new project with Gitman brothers. I talked about it on Instagram live yesterday, but these factories are a literal godsend these days. People kind of stopped caring a few years ago, and all of them were struggling but hanging on. They've all made a ton of PPE equipment and filled an extremely urgent need. If they didn't exist, this stuff wouldn't get made, and a lot of front-line people in hospitals and essential jobs would have been unprotected. For a while, you couldn't buy PPE in mass from anywhere at any price abroad. I hate being late on these orders and giving out constantly vague schedules and half-promises, but they're going to come back. This stuff is going to be made. And I'm going to throw all of the ideas that I can into getting them more business and support than I ever have before.

Hey Nick, they *should* be finished. I'm waiting for the final word from our factory owner. In order to keep distance, I'm not going to any of the homes of our sewers and I'm just working with him. Typically I'll personally oversee everything, but in this case I'm just going to get a box of finished custom pieces. They all should be in there, but I can't really say that definitively until I get it. Which should be today or Monday.

That said, if there are any custom pieces which aren't in there, then they'll absolutely be finished soon. I expect all of our LA special order items to be done in the next couple of weeks.. with the Woolrich tweed shipping out this coming week and the Eternal Chestnut the week after that. The home sewing is a little slower than we initially planned, but it's happening. All the workers are safe and healthy. And we're planning to be back in the space after Memorial Day (5/25), although that's a bit dependent on the LA mayor. Even if that doesn't happen, stuff is all still getting made.

I could not be any happier to say this... I'm driving to go pick up all of our preordered Sinclairs and some new stock ones in about 30 minutes. Doyles are due in on Monday.

Our Individualized promo will launch tomorrow morning... I'm going to get back into our 7AM newsletter schedule. Here's a video of all the new stuff.

We've got good stock in most fabrics.. the limited ones are all the Linens and Turquoise Jewel madras. Linen is promo priced at $165.75, which is about the lowest price we've ever offered on it. Great chance to get some rad Summertime shirts!
