Yes! I've been holding off purchasing chinos in anticipation of Epaulet's release! I only wish that it could be released sooner

This is the best option for the waist. The website states that they can be let out 1.5".

For the late April launch, we'll have British Khaki & Navy. Working on a late May special edition right now.

It's slim straight fit - which is fairly similar to the Walt trouser and the Smith Jean, but with certain tweaks for the chino shape. In the world of chino pants, this will be one of the slimmest ones on the market, but it's not a skinny fit. If you wear Walt pants, then you can get your same exact size in these. If you wear the Smith jean, then you can size up one (ex. get a 34 rivet chino if you take a 33 Smith).

We've been working on this piece for about half a year. It's going to be a really cool piece. The EP's denim details will give it a lot of character. And the fabric is ridiculous. It's not only tough, but it has a phenomenal hand and drape. Although it's definitely a casual cloth, you could probably wear the navy ones with a real dress shirt and not look out of place. I haven't seen anything quite like it.

I think that we will - at least in the Khaki color. I've received a lot of PM's about 38's so we're going to add it onto our current orders and see how it performs. I'd love to offer these to as many guys as possible.

Working on it now (sorry, it's a bit late). They should go online around 12.

Hoping these don't have jean-style pockets (it looks like it from the pic). If they don't, I'm in for both.

No they don't, they've got proper front slash pockets and rear besom pockets. Straight-up chino style.

That right there just sealed the deal for me too, Mike. The cloth looks nice in those picks and knowing your choices of fabrics had me at ease on that aspect. As much as I thought it looked great, I was thinking jean style pockets like, AJ and thought it wasn't going to be for me. But the fact that you're shooting for the casual feel while not having the jean style pockets puts this into "lock territory". Tickle me excited. Any initial thoughts on pricing? A little less than the walt cotton trousers or same ball park?

Now, did you check you're PMs? I sent you one. I am a man confused, and I need you're help!

Thanks guys.
Please forgive my ignorance, by letting out the fabric on the waistband, I get more room for both the waist and the seat?
The truth is, they are OK on the waist, but tight in the seat and thighs.

Mike - You've been killing it with the releases these days. Looking forward to a pair of Rudys and the Chinos.
