OG V2 canvas Doyle going strong.

 

[Burzan]

Rad, thanks dude! Super proud of this piece. It’s our Sashiko Parka, and it’s a really special design with seamless body drape (no shoulder or chest seams) and this big integrated hood. Planned retail is $345 and it works great as a unisex piece too.

This is the final fit sample... it still needs buttons. The drawstring is removable if you don’t like it. It’s a bit too tight on Jay as the sample is a 38 and he typically wears a 40.

How do you guys like the color? I don’t usually work in this charcoal/vintage black tone, but I think it’s pretty dope.

Throw a hole on the inside of the jacket as well so the drawstring can be internal or external as an option. Overall looks quite comfy, anything in shasiko looks comfy to me now haha

 

[goalaso]

Agreed with the internal drawstring hole idea, if possible

 

[tricky]

That parka in that colour is so f-in dope.

@Burzan absolutely epic fading on that! Thanks for posting.

@Burzan @goalaso thanks so much for the feedback, that's definitely a solid concept. We actually start cutting this piece on Tuesday, so the production is going to exactly match the sample pics (except WITH buttons, as the sample doesn't have them). The current drawstring isn't too thick so it's not in the way if you don't use it, but it definitely gives a nice fitted shape if you tie it up.

The biggest challenge of this piece is actually making enough of it. I'll have to do a video when the jacket goes live, but the body construction is really remarkable.. it's these huge uninterrupted curved seams which give it such a fantastic drape. That's the good part. Bad part is that it's difficult to sew and there's only one operator up to the task.. so it looks like I can only get abnout 60 pieces max for a September delivery, which is the crucial time for this. Might be as low as 50, but I'll know more next week. We're getting down to business ASAP, so I'm going to keep the pattern exactly how it is. Thanks so much for all of your enthusiasm guys.. we're so excited to launch this in the Fall!

SALE SECTION UPDATE

Happy Sunday guys! With Summer closing, I marked down the remnants of last season's goods.. this way you still have some warm weather to rock them. You can check out the entire sale section here.

Couple things to note:

1) Linen Doyles were one of our most successful projects to date and the feedback was tremendous on them. We have about 8 pieces left in total.. these were all return/exchange items. Great chance to grab one for a killer price.

2) Mint Julep, Planters Punch. and Sky Blue Seersucker shirts all came from legacy Hertling fabric. It's from India and at least 12 years old. I haven't seen anything at that level of quality and thickness since. These can never be remade because who the hell even knows where the cloth came from. If you want to grab one, you won't regret it.

3) The Ikat pieces are really amazing in person, and they're actually quite wearable when you pair them with basic pieces (remind me to get a time machine and shoot them that way rather than as a bonkers 3-piece getup). This is a one-and-done project for us, so great chance to get something unique if you like our shapes.

Are Southwick and Hertling trousers made to the same measurements? Assuming the same trouser model (Walt) of course.

 

[Blastwice]

Yup we’ll definitely do 36 on this! I think we’re gonna run this exact shade — it’s actually just the usual amount of pumice wash distressing. It looks awesome in person, I have some natural light pics too.



Definitely a 36 for you, so it’s all good. These have the Doyle sleeve cuff for anyone who needs to shorten the sleeves — it would be really easy to do.

If one color is this dark Gunmetal, what would you guys like to see for the second?

I think another option for either fall or winter in this pattern could be some huge wale corduroy (like an fiery red and/or a deep dark blue could be nice).

If you size up (I'm 40 doyle --> 42) should be longer arms and still decent in the chest or will it look like 50lbs more jacket?

 

[goalaso]

Ditto on this. Thinking along similar lines yesterday; I still like a bright chestnut/ochre color in wide wale

 

[Epaulet]

This looks great. In theory is there some sort of waxing you could do (or we could do at home) to the fabric to make it water resistant? This thing has great PNW vibes but we need it to be downpour-graded.

Huh, honestly I’m not sure... but if you can wax canvas than I can’t see why you couldn’t wax Sashiko. I don’t have any experience with it though.

Yes sir!

Love the idea of a huge corduroy piece, but Sashiko is the only plan for now... I’m honestly not sure if we’ll have the factory capacity for a second run in Oct-Nov.

And go for a 40 I’d say, the basic pattern is made to be a bit oversized so you can layer underneath.

 

[M635Guy]

Agreed... I think a washed out green, close to spruce or “Old Dirty Olive” would give it that Fishtail Parka Quadrophenia vibe.

Yup.

Might grab one for my eldest spawn...

 

[Epaulet]

Speaking of Sashiko.. got a new Pacific color that we did with American Trench. I've got two units of 40 and two units of 42... it's going online now. Use code pacific15 to save 15% (lowkey, that code works on Indigo & Spruce Sashiko too until Thursday)

 

[odub]

Great color; will there be 38s available at some point?

Yes, but only through our dude Jacob at American Trench @jah786

He'll have the same pricing, so you can hit him up directly. I think his stock arrives tomorrow or Thursday.

Do the chainstitch shirts have darts in back? Hard to tell from the photos?
