I, like, don't even know what to say.  There is so much good stuff.  Not a huge fan of the slate calfskin but, man, everything else looks great.  Those boots will break in so nicely I bet.


I think the slate is gorgeous (but I have a soft spot for grey shoes). But I agree on those boots. They are awesome also. I have no idea what to pick!

I'm really itching to pull the trigger on those natty LWB, though having a hard time justifying it on a student budget. Do you guys think they would be pretty versatile?

Thanks

Hey Epaulet,

you ever going to make any XXL-XXXL shirts for the bigger guys amongst us? (I'm guessing a 50" chest/18" neck is more like a XXXL if you extrapolate sizing). Those liberty shirts are pretty awesome.

So i got my first epaulet order yesterday, great stuff guys! I noticed something thought: both of my duck pants, carmel and leaf, were a bit more loose than the navy canvas I ordered. They are all from the same restock, so i assume all in the same new cut. Is this because the duck may shrink a little and so this was accounted for in the cut?

I also got the summer ashland shirt: perfect fit for me! Here is to hoping that a size XL in epaulet shirts will yield a similar fit, despite the -.5 in the chest.

Went ahead and ordered my first pair of walts in butterscotch because of this, although they are the same size as my rivets (34) so I hope they fit, as well as my first pair of carminas. Although I'm not a fan of the inca last, those pictures helped sway me, and plus, I hope I get better convinced once they come in :)

Do they tend to darken over time?

I bought the first run of carminas when you launched, do I go by the size on the shoe or the size on the box? I know there was some discrepancy the first time around....

Oh, you can go by the number on the shoe itself. That's the UK size - which is the only thing that we use now.

When can we expect the restock and new color releases of the Walt Regiment Twills?

Hmmm gonna try a smaller size shirt this time around to see if I can skip some tailoring, hope it works. The navy pindot still gets compliments.

PS my tailor assumes every pair of pants I bring in is from Epaulet now :embar:
