I've got to remember to buy this when it comes out (if it's button collar that is!).

I'd prefer point, but I'm noncommittal either way, at least until I see the shirt done up.

How easy would it be to pattern match the chest pocket? lol.

Forgive me if this has been asked before, but is MTM ever an option for the shirts? I'm mainly concerned with sleeve length. Thanks.

I'm normally in favour of button-down collars but I reckon point might work really well for this shirt. Now I just have to figure out whether I can pull this pattern off.

Point collar sounds good but I think a club collar could look nice, if you would even be into that. I'm normally not into printed patterns but gosh, I can't get over how beautiful the flower print is!

I was thinking point but you're absolutely right--a club collar would KILL on this thing.

Probably a pain **********, but that's why we pay our workshop the big bucks. I'll have to see the pattern when it arrives, we'll be able to match it if it repeats in a small enough space. It's a wide roll, so it might be too varigated to match. I'm gonna keep hope alive.

Unfortunately no - we just work with our one standard shape. But the sleeve length is good for most of our customers. PM me if you have any questions or need more detailed measurements.

Oh man, I would love to do a club collar. This is our first floral print, and I searched all over to find something classic that strikes the right balance of dandy & bright with masculine & easy to wear. I think that we're going to roll with a point collar for this first one to keep it easy - and the print will speak for itself.

That said, we'll surely bring in some more florals as the season goes on. I'm down for doing a small quantity of club collars for a batch down the road. I'd seriously wear that every day.

And not to spill the beans too much, but we'll have a Walt trouser in bordeaux cotton around March. Imagine that with this shirt! Pair of white bucks? Good goddamn.

Yes, the Navy Walt's that we're restocking are the moleskin ones. Definitely PM me if you're interested in a pair, I've got a bunch on reserve already.

When do you think the two shirts will be released? I have to say, you guys at Epaulet are on a roll. I'm so excited for coming stuff.

Is this the same cut as the black tartan? Are all of your shirts that same cut, for the most part?

Thank you sir. Fabric should arrive in about a week, so we're looking at a first to second week of Feb release for these. Probably first week.

Yes, all our shirts have the same exact cut. These will feel a bit slimmer due to the thinner fabric, but they have the same measurements.

And we'll be hooking up more pinpoint oxfords shortly - probably by the end of the month. Changing out Salt & Pepper for White and keeping Burgundy & Blue.

For more casual basics, we'll carry both Gitman Vintage and Gant Rugger Selvedge oxfords. So we'll have it covered from a few different price points.
