Oh it's not sold out - just staging it. We'll put all of them online at 4PM. But you'll see them pop up for a few seconds while I QA the live item.

When I click the “special order” on the epauletnewyork site, and go to suiting, it still brings up shoes. Since it sounds like yall are seeing some fabrics, do I need to reset cookies or something on my computer? Grazie

No, I'm building out the items, popping them online for a second to check them, and then taking them down.

Stock is very limited on some fabrics, so I want everyone to get an equal shot at the ones that they like. Starting at 4PM, we're going to activate them all en masse. They'll all be visible in the SPECIAL ORDER section, and shortly after, I'll post a recap of all that's available here in the thread.

For the Factory Finds, we can offer the jackets in odd sizes. If it's your very first jacket order and you often find that slim-ish sportcoats fit too closely, then it's possible to size up one inch and order a 41. While there's a chance that this is too big, it would be preferable to take in a 41 rather than let out a 40.


What are the measurement differences between 40 and 41?

Mike a few quick questions. The Sport coats you brought to the LA Trunk Show:

1. Regular length?
2. Napoli will be single vent?

Exactly in the middle of 40 and 41 - all the patterns are computer-scaled and cut on an automated table. Depending on how its sewn though, you can have up to a .3 inch or so variance in some spots.

Yup, all of the LA sportcoats were Regular Length. So is everything hanging in our stores.

The Napoli is going to be DOUBLE vent from here on in - by overwhelming request.

I asked about 41 measurements for a special order on the Napoli and Matt replied that they are approximately:

CHEST - 21"
SHOULDER - 17.75"
SLEEVE - 27"
LENGTH - 30 1/8"

Oh - even for special orders? I'd really like single vent when I get around to placing my 38s.


Typically yes, but not with these factory finds. To get that $475 price, we have to make the same exact shape and buttons for everyone. But it's entirely possible for us to do a one-off hopsack napoli for you at the usual price + special order fee. We've done a few of those actually.

For today, this thread is the only place that we're going to communicate these coats. They'll go out in our newsletter and social media tomorrow morning. So you guys have first crack at everything!
