@Epaulet - Can you comment on how stretchy the alpaca sweaters are? Looking at the measurements, I think I'm probably right between a small and a medium and the pictures of the model in the medium look a little long in the body. So as somebody who is nowhere near as tall as the model I'm leaning towards the small. I think the shoulder and chest dimensions of the small should be fine for me but if there is just a tad bit of stretchiness, that would definitely be a point towards going with the small instead of the medium.

Oh yeah it's definitely very stretchy and it's not super fitted. The yarn is hand-knit so it's fairly low tension, and it's ridiculously soft.

Our model is wearing the Medium really well in these pics and he has some room. For comparison, I have him in a Doyle 40, which is pretty fitted on him. And I probably outweigh him by about 30lb, but the Medium is stretching enough to be comfortable on me without being too tight. Knowing your sportcoat and custom shirting size, you can definitely do a Small.

And regarding the sleeve length, it's actually every clever. The sleeves are cut on the longer side, but you have a wide and comfortable cuff at the wrist and a pretty strong sleeve taper around mid-forearm. So even if it's long, the sleeves just stack up a bit at the cuff and it doesn't look off. The overall vibe is soft and a little slouchy, so it works. I'll shoot some pics of myself in it tomorrow.

I need to do a video on these too. Lowkey, they're really some of the best sweaters that we've ever offered. I wish that we could have put together more colors, but we had to work with the handknit that they had available in order to make our schedule. But Grey and Pine are certified bangers!

LAIDBACK PANTS FINISH TOMORROW

Hey guys,

Ming has been updating the thread, but the Laidback wait is finally over! Getting the correct elastic was an issue as our local supplier was out of stock for a few weeks, but it's in hand and the guys are finishing everything with a quickness.

I'm getting the finished pants (without drawstrings tomorrow). Everything is going to the wash house to be dyed (for the colors) or hot washed (for the natural). I anticipate shipping these out around the end of the week. We'll be doing the remaining Doyle preorders (Olive & Aubergine) at the same time.

Thanks for bearing with us, won't be much longer!

Haha yeah I was thinking of exactly this when we were shooting the stoles

THE SALT & PEPPER TWEED DOYLE

We just dropped this preorder today. We had enough for 24 units, and we've sold about five stock Doyles and a handful of custom pieces, but there's still a good amount to go around.

Preorder price is $245 and we're offering the Doyles in all sizes. Click here to check it out.

We'll deliver this in early November... it's going to get cut and sewn at the same time as the RedBar jackets.

It's a rad heavyweight tweed from Magee Scotland. At 16oz, it's lighter than Harris Tweed (18oz), but not by much. The yarns are alternating undyed wool and charcoal... and it has a slubby and slightly irregular weave. It's pretty freaking perfect. As a standalone jacket, it will keep you pretty warm, but you can also wear it in lieu of a sweater under your parka when it gets really brick outside.

I'm going to plug this fabric into our RTC items by Thursday. We can take custom pants, suits, sportcoats, Doyle, and Field Jacket orders on it too. If anyone wants a Hertling Garand or Thompson, I can also hook that up!

Okay... on to the pics...

I love it and the Philly trunk show! My socks are all American Trench and my outerwear is all Epaulet. I’m definitely coming out on Friday or Saturday.

Reminder to add an olive sateen option to the LA preorder 😉

@Epaulet - I don’t know that I’m in the market for another Doyle but the salt & pepper tweed has me thinking about fall and winter and other fabrics. Have you ever done a camel hair Doyle? What’s the heaviest camel hair you can get your hands on (that would work on a Doyle?

There’s always room for Doyle.

Rock and roll, will be great to see you! Drop me an email at [email protected] and I'll set up a custom invoice for you on both of those.

Oh absolutely we can do that. I actually have a perfect camel hair available in the new "Cal" overcoat that we're launching tomorrow. Here's a pic of it under the stole. Proper heavyweight pure camel from Piacenza..

I've got a million pics to go through, but here's a quick preview. Today I had the privilege of hanging with the Notorious @macjedi ... a.k.a. J.Robie ... and we shot a bunch of this favorite pieces from the Alpaca project.

I'm a huge fan of his Instagram posts, so it was rad to bring the team back. I'll have a full gallery of pics to show soon!

^ Good to see J. Robie! I used to love his posts here in SF and on Instagram, but pulling up his Instagram profile now, it doesn't seem like he's posted there in about 2 years.

Isn't that around the time that Instagram became 100% ads? I stopped logging in when they started asking for me to prove things "for security" and haven't logged in since, because it's just 100% ads in the feed now.

Yeah, that probably would correspond to when Instagram really went downhill. I still log in there but rarely post. I do enjoy the content from a few particular brands and some posters but yeah, the number of ads on there has gotten out of control (I’m also not really a big fan of all the videos from random users that show up on my feed on there).
