Agreed, the Cramerton fabric is awesome! You can order it as a custom pant, and we can do any rise that you like. If you want the Rivet fit with ... say ... one inch more rise in the front and the back, that's easy to do. Just order a Walt in your normal size and put that into the checkout notes.

Here's the link for it. And you can save 15% with the code cotton15

Thanks for asking, I just put the photo into our Rivet Chino preorder item

The Unbleached Twill is a totally natural 12oz pure cotton. It has the original color variations and little brown "seeds" of the original fibers, so there's a great texture to it. The color is a creamy ecru, so it delivers that "white chino" look nicely without being a bright optical white. And you can easily wash it. I think it's a tremendous option for the Spring.

So excited for these to come through! We'll have open stock in the following:

1. Indigo Denim "Super Twill"

2. A really perfect dark olive twill. The same exact cloth that we used for these EZ pants. I know that olive twill doesn't sound too radical on its own, but believe me, this thing is going to make for a perfect Spring jacket. That fabric has a great drape and hand.

3. Select units in really thick Canadian melton wool. Camel and Aubergine. Not sure how these are going to make up, but they're going to be beasts. The cloth is around 16oz.

Sorry for being missing over the past few days, I'm in Rochester getting everything prepped for our Spring tailoring promo. We're going to have a TON of fabrics to offer, and we'll start by launching them on Saturday. We're working on some new shapes to offer too... including a revised and optimized Teba jacket.

Here's the IG posts that I've done for it. Apologies that my eyes are revealing a combo of (1) intense jetlag and (2) eating enough sodium to kill a barnyard animal via non-stop Italian submarine sandwiches.

Spring because it's too heavy for summer?

No, I think you could wear it in the Summer. It’s technically a denim. Figure the usual jean is 14oz, a really light jean is 10oz, so this is in the middle.

I’m just calling it “twill” and not “denim” because some guys associate denim with blue jeans and will immediately disregard it in a chino shape. But if you're comfortable with lightweight jeans on warmer days then this will be right up your alley. It's also tough and easy to clean, which makes this lighter color more practical

Damnnnnn, still going strong! I loved that chrome tanned cowhide. It's not every day that 7 year old sneakers can shine up that nicely. Thanks for posting.

You should see the green. :D

Just as an aside: EPLA sneakers are the longest-lasting, hardest-wearing sneakers I've ever had. My black monochrome calfskin have probably been worn for a total of 3 years of near daily wear and outside of a couple spots that could be resewn between the outer and lining (we're talking 2 or 3 stitches, not massive stretches), they are absolutely massively butter soft. I do have to hit them up with some polish since they're so scuffed up, but they look and feel amazing. The soles are just now getting a tiny bit thin. My high tops are in fantastic wearing shape, as well, and those were my primary motorcycling commute shoes when I wasn't wearing boots. You can even see some shifter rash on those browns up there on the gum sole, but I rarely wore them on the bike because it just feels weird not having my ankles protected there. Definitely the "buy it for life" sneakers for me. EPLA really did kind of ruin me for sneakers; Gustin, Oliver Cabell, neither quite fit or fit the bill completely. I have some Gustin black monochrome and they just feel thin (although the leather is really nice) and the sizing isn't quite right. Oliver Cabell feels stuffy and heavy, and not in a good way. The EPLA chromes are heavy, but they feel like good boots. I could probably use one to beat the **** out of someone with them and they'd end up looking BETTER at the end of it. But I'm going to give Archibald London a shot with their chromexcel and compare. :/

Sigh. I haven't worn any of my museum calf in a long while; they do show loss of color on the toes/edges much easier than these.

Also: had 2 random people compliment the green couro chromos last weekend when out shopping for paint for the condo.

Eva, you gotta bring back Epaulet shoes!

I know they were a nightmare with returns, but how about getting pre orders going for those that know their sizing? These shoes were really a great product.

I think I have the red & white "dunks" somewhere. They were 1/2 size too small for me, but dang they made a statement. :D
