Mike you are killing me with these special orders....I haven't ordered any yet but I'm sure I will before the day is over. If I want an unfinished 38" inseam on these, should I just PM you with my order info this time? Thanks!

EDIT: Also - how does the light grey flannel compare to the grey oxford flannel that you ran for F/W '11? Is it significantly lighter or is it pretty close in color?

Eff, it, just ordered the coffee tweed. Looks unique enough that I don't think my tailor could even get a hold of it. I guess now I'm one of the gang (you know, multiple orders within a few hours...) :slayer:

Mike, there's no way to get that gunmetal calvary twill in a Rivet makeup is there?  I just can't help but think it'd be awesome...

+1 on a non-denim selvedge Rivet!


Ah unfortunately not at the moment, but we're going to drop the first wool Rivets in a few weeks, and I'll definitely see how I can expand that in the future.

Nice! I dig that whole look.

Sure, just write 38" inseam into that first text field. For example:

Rudy 34 with 38" inseam

We'll get it on the order confirmation. We can offer this extended length on both Walts and Rudy's - it's no problem and there's no extra charge.

For the grey flannel, it's a tiny bit lighter than the Oxford Grey that we ran last year. Pretty basic though. We'll have an in-season cloth like it this year, but it's probably going to be around $200, so I built this one out to offer a lower price on it. The fabric's great - it's nice Italian wool with a smooth hand.

Bear in mind - these can be ordered in shorts too if anyone wants to rock an awesome Alpine look with huge socks and hiking boots this Fall :slayer:. Probably find a way to put buttons for braces on those too.

Mike - Looking to pull the trigger on one or more pairs and am looking for a pant that I can wear in a business environment: with either one of the following (does not have to work with all):

Caine Navy Sportcoat
Brown Houndstooth Sportcoat
Harris Tweek Silver\Black Herringbone Jacket (thinking about buying when available but not 100% sure).

Thanks,
Jamie

Factory Finds Round 2
You guys always beat me to the punch on these new product announcements - and thanks to everyone who's ordered already. We've got an insanely solid lineup of new wool fabrics - all of which are perfect for this Fall/Winter season.
You can see the full lineup here. And these are my personal favorites of the new batch:
You mentioned a heathered Navy flannel a while back - will those be coming in down the road?

Sweet, thanks! I could use a standard light grey flannel, and if it's different enough from last year's Oxford Grey flannel then I'm in for that...plus I can put cuffs on this one so it will stand out from my other pair no matter what. Also a great point on the price, I probably won't find something like this for less than the Factory Finds price. Deciding on a 2nd pair now, maybe the Russet Nailhead...looks like a great brown trouser that could work easily with a lot of different pieces.

EDIT: errr, looks like the light grey flannel is sold out already!

Mike, can you comment on which of the new trouser fabrics would be most useful for southern Cali folks? And are there any that would most likely see pretty limited action due to weight?

The new Epaulet Outfits shoot with Dylan Boelte is so good. The fits were on point. :slayer:

And all you dudes making me want to get in on my first trouser order. Alas, first rent is due soon and i'll probably be living in a hole somewhere eating ramen for the next academic year. :violin:
