Have the secret sashiko items been posted? Specifically for the sleeve length modification? I purchased a gift card at a slight discount and watched the first 200 units sell out while waiting for the secret item to go live. I will happily accept the November ship date with the second batch of fabric, but am really hoping I don't miss out again with the gift card burning a hole in my pocket.

Eva posted an Instagram live earlier and from memory the sashiko kamigatas are going live tomorrow morning and the sashiko Wilhelms in a couple of days.

edit - sorry, missed that you were asking specifically about the sleeve length modification - not sure about that

Thanks for that. Hopefully Eva will chime in soon.

@Epaulet
Is there an ETA on the custom Doyles for the order that closed on 8/6 that included the Nisshinbo Golden Sand Twill? As I recall those were targeted to ship this month...
Thanks

Also wondering, I have one in that batch as well.

Should be through fairly soon... we have two custom batches running through right now.

Oh and the Crosscut Pique chinos are in the final stages too! Can't wait for those to get delivered!

Hey guys, thanks for bearing with me! This preorder project has been crazy, so just trying to keep up with questions and developments.

1) We'll definitely do Sashiko Wilhelms. I'll go ahead and put together that item tomorrow.

2) I should be able to cut some custom jackets with the November batch. I'm going to keep the length increments to just one inch only, and I might have to limit the color choices to make sure that dyeing them makes sense. But we'd certainly offer all the top colors (Mink, Indigo, Gunmetal, Steel Moss). I'll plan to put those online Wed.

3) If our incoming fabric inventory allows, I'll definitely offer Sashiko blankets. These will be freaking rad!

In case you didn't get the newsletter about the Sashiko Kamigata.

HERE'S THE LINK TO CHECK IT OUT AND PLACE AN ORDER

Back in 2014, we released the "Kamigata"... our take on the traditional Japanese noragi jacket. Styled with a shawl collar, functional hip pockets, and a hidden front button, it straddles the line between outerwear and cardigan. It's effortless to wear, but offers a truly distinctive style.

Customers have requested this piece in Sashiko for years.. and we're thrilled to offer it in all 10 colors of our Fall preorder offering.

With the first 200 units already claimed, delivery for this item will be end November. Given the overwhelming demand of this preorder, we don't anticipate having any open stock, so the preorder units will be the only ones produced. Orders are open until Tuesday, but the available fabric for November delivery could sell out before that. Get your orders in and don't miss out on this beautiful piece!

The Kamigata has an easy fit that works in tandem with our Doyle & Sinclair jackets. Just order your typical Doyle size, and you'll be good to go.

Thanks Eva. I will be ready to pull the trigger on a gunmetal sinclair with a sleeve modification.

Alright, no more spending money but I did order the kamigata in natural.

 

[Epaulet]

Thank you so much guys!

It's the last call for the Sashiko project, I'll take the item offline tomorrow morning (9/30) to get everything sorted out.

Hey Knox,

Michael happily retired a little over a year ago, so this is Eva Kuhle

I've got a TON of awesome fabrics from RTC. Originally I was worried that the selection would be really limited compared to Southwick, but my selection is going to be just as large in scope. And I'm going to have really competitive prices, particularly on the more luxe seasonal goods.

Got a flawless navy hopsack from Hardy Minnis, so don't worry about that!

My plain is to photo and video these goods this week and get them out to anyone who was "stranded" with an unfulfilled Southwick order. We'll have plenty of inventory in the standard things that you're looking for, but some of the tweeds and cashmere blends are more limited, so I'm going to give those Southwick guys the first choice of anything. Once all of those orders are submitted and sewn away, I'll launch the whole program formally.

But I'll have some info to show everyone this week. I'm going to start a dedicated Epaulet x RTC thread which will be all about our partnership and new developments.

I believe I am among those with a stranded Southwick order please PM me! Thanks

Not to be a pest, but I did want to confirm that this is still the plan for today. Don't want to miss my window. Thanks!

speaking of being a pest, i’ve had orders unfulfilled that date back to the beginning of April. Not receiving any responses via email or facebook. any light to be shed on the outstanding southwick/hertling orders? looking for something more concrete than “end of this week” or “being told by the end of the month.” email is [email protected] for reference.

I've had the same issues with my orders dating back to April 29th 2020. We're coming up 5 months of delays and there's only so many times I can take "next week" or "next month" with long periods of unresponsiveness in between. Especially if new orders are being processed all throughout. If things don't become clear soon I'll be taking things up with paypal since I can't have thousands of dollars tied up for months without results..

Dartmouth suit owners,
I know the question of shortening sleeves on finished, nonfunctional cuffs has been addressed on SF many times, but I have 2 questions that Epaulet Dartmouth coat owners might be uniquely suited to answer:
(1) If anyone has shortened their Dartmouth sleeves *significantly* (2.5-2.75 inches), how did the result come out aesthetically? Would you do it again?
(2) How did your tailor do (or choose not to do) this? i.e. from the shoulder, from the cuff, with/without taper...

I've gotten different advice from different tailors, with the theme that "it depends" on the particular coat and how tapered the sleeve is. I don't own any Dartmouths, and online measurements don't indicate taper, hence the questions I'm asking from those with potential first-hand experience, both re: feasability (it seems anything is technically possible) and just as importantly aesthetic results
Thanks in advance for any advice
