Yeah my beloved Epaulet/American Trench taupe linen doyle shrank considerably even with a cold wash and hang dry. Definitely not trying that again for my stable of linen doyles.

On the other hand if anyone wants a size 39 Doyle, I got you covered. 😊

Yeah this is pretty typical of linen. Some of it shrinks a little, so of it shrinks a lot. There's no real way to predict it, and I've seen linens from the same spec and the same manufacturer shrink at two wildly different rates.

If your linen garment is already fairly loose, then delicate washing won't harm it. But it will be smaller. If it's nicely fitted as it stands, then stick to dry cleaning.

Have all of the Cali pants shipped out?

Have all of the Cali pants shipped out?

Not yet we want to make sure the people who ordered multiple colors get everything in one deliver.

I just picked up some of the additional colors yesterday that they added buttons too. We usually apply buttons after to ensure they don’t get damaged in the dye process.

Laid Back Short Pre-Order Update

Hey guys just wanted to give you an update on the Laid Back Short. We were hoping to have it out sooner but the first sample had some fit issues that needed some fine tuning. The fits all worked out in the new sample though and we look forward to getting everything cut for production in the next week or two.

I also had to help source for the waist elastic and drawcord which was a DTLA nightmare. We had a lead to get the elastic which led me to a fenced off building with no entrance between a Déjà Vu Showgirls and a Ashley Furniture store. I walked around for a bit trying to avoid the homeless encampment under the 10 freeway and ended up calling too which went to voicemail.

So I ended up heading to our button supplier, who ended up having a higher quality preshrunk knit elastic than the other place I couldn’t get into (there’s a few types of elastic FYI) and they had the tubular drawcord with silver metal aglet tips as well. The tips that get applied to drawcords require a special mechanism to mount them on so I had to wait a day for those as well (A guy on a trunk drives by the button place to do this).

With all that said it should be a lot smoother making the shorts going forward. Better to get all the details right first, since we’re working on a new pant with the same elastic drawcord top block as the shorts.

FOUR RTC SUITS

Hey guys! Next week will bring a ton of new RTC news, but four today, I've got four suits to show off. These were all made for one of our favorite customers and the fabrics are RAD.

First up is a smooth Prince of Wales from DiPray. This was a one-off fabric, but we have others like it if you dig it. The side tabs are a really nice accent on the trousers...

Next is an INCREDIBLE heavyweight textured tweed from Loro Piana. One-off promo, and I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it...

Keeping with the Loro Piana theme... here's a gorgeous tropical wool promo fabric...

And for the last one... this gentleman was the only brave soul to take a chance on "Moonstone" bleached denim. This came out absolutely gonzo, in the best possible way. It's a denim suit, but gives off a very refined and Cucinelli-esque vibe. The color tone is just perfect. We only had enough pre-bleached fabric to do one of these, but we could certainly make more pieces if there's interest...

Quick update for today!

1) Most of our Sashiko Blankets are done and ready for pickup. I'm getting them in about an hour and we'll work to ship them out today and tomorrow. A few of the more niche colors (Cosmic Camo, Neons) will take a few more weeks, as we're going to dye them with the Cali Canvas separate

Any update on the neon sashiko blankets?

Hey dudes!! We are fully stocked up with mesh shorts, and we have a killer new Pewter colorway. If you're sweltering out there, then these are absolutely perfect for the weather. I dare say that they'll be the best athletic shorts that you've ever owned.

Here's the whole spiel on them....

-----------------------------------

Price on these is $115, but SF members can use the checkout code shorts15 to get 15% off, and bring the price under $100. Three colors are available (check them out below)

The concept is a premium basketball short that works well as a casual piece or an actual workout garment. We sourced better quality materials and the best sewing facility that we could find. Each short is made from start to finish in Los Angeles. Here's the details:

1) Its 5-inch inseam and slimmer leg gives it a distinctly modern silhouette.

2) 100% polyester heavyweight mesh outer fabric

3) Whisper-soft knit polyester full liner

4) Front welt pockets with secure metal zippers

5) Extended drawstring with metal caps

6) Multi-striped nylon taping at all major seams

Polyester mesh is a common fabric, but make no mistake: this isn't what you wore in gym class. Our premium heavyweight cloth is strong enough to drape properly and offer a flattering fit. The deep front pockets have ample room for your keys & necessities, and they can be totally secured with their metal zippers. Wash and care is effortless - and these durable shorts will quickly prove to be a favorite for warmer days!

Does this mean all the Cali Canvas colorways are in or are we still waiting on some? I think I ordered some gunmetal, olive, and cosmic.

Just waiting on British Khaki, we expect to ship that around the end of next week.

Cosmic is here (and looks amazing!) but needs buttons. Also shipping next week.

Just quickly want to wish a happy Fathers Day to all the dads on here!!!
