Thanks man. Just decent for hot weather wear? How'd they fare in NYC late July? Tough to tell the weight/breathability factor on a canvas from the photo.

@applky it's not a Summer fabric specifically... I think most guys would were it fine in those months, but dudes wear jeans in the Summer too. Personally I'd wear a grass skirt for the NYC heat in August if I could. But it washes well and it will wear well into the late Fall.

Mike, Any dressier cotton options? Something like a cashco or khyber?

@Viral not at the moment, but there might be some other options on Monday or so in cottons and linens. They sold a lot better than we expected, so I'll see if we can get more.

Bleu De Travail Pre-Wash Pics

This guys is going under the knife this weekend. Going to wash it twice and see what color loss we get. After that, it's getting dispatched to the wear tester. And I'll put white tees in with the chino to see how much bleeding happens on both the first and the second wash.

Damn i missed out on that green linen. That's what I get for hesitating.

Not going to lie Nik. You mentioned that and I wanted to kop. Didn't get it though, she gone to someone else. I can see the EZ pant being fun for this type of eff in the future.
Some cotton/synths would be great. Like rayon or modal blends etc. Super comfy ****

@Epaulet as promised, I've put in a substantial order for the 2017 museum calf project. Previously you said it was possible to order for my girlfriend, so I did, putting in the notes which footwear should be built with a women's last. There's one wrinkle, though: her size is one half-size below the lowest EU size listed. Will this be a problem?

Also, just out of curiosity, I peeked at the 2016 project's pictures to see what was gone this time around -- the tennis high and the colors mocha and loden. Given the myriad brown boots in the world, I can see how mocha wasn't as compelling at the other colors. The loden still jumps out at me, though. Weird question: did you sell 50 units of loden footwear last year? What happens/happened to unused material, if not? (EFF makes me wonder what happens to all ends :)

(I will say once more and then forever hold my piece that the white tennis high was the greatest sneaker ever made)

I own these and concur. There's a new pair size 8.5 listed on a secondary-market site right now. If it were a 9 I'd have snatched them up. I have an 8.5 navy museum calf I love but unfortunately too small (see below)

A SS sunset madras would have been something i'd have done but I don't see it in the dropdown menu. Is it really sold out already or is it still too early and has not been loaded in yet? Didn't know the EFF was up. Really hope it's the latter as I believe i missed the flannel version of this from a previous EFF.
