I like the idea of flap pocket. Also, I'm the odd man out and prefer the black blue and red

Yeah, the grape is too similar to the Fall purple flannel. I'd prefer the other blue/red or the blue/brown instead of the grape.

Since it looks like cream is dominating and that i will therefore most likely be buying one, how does epaulet's sizing usually run. i know they have measurements on the site, but i'm always between a medium and large. are they slim mediums or regular sized mediums? i'm a BoO lg...so what size am i in epaulet?

is this fabric a gingham and plaid stuck or sewn together or is it just 1 piece of fabric where they printed 2 prints on both sides of 1 cloth? wanna figure out if it'll be too hot too wear during the summer...

I've had the same problem. I'd be a sure-fire medium in Epaulet shirting were it not for the darts. The mediums actually look really good on me, but they get a little snug in the stomach area because of the darting if I have a big meal/booze too much.

Thankfully, Mike has shirts designed so the measurements are only slight jumps from one size to the next. Usually when I want to size up to a large in a slimmer shirt, I have to do so knowing that the shoulders will be a touch big. With Epaulet shirts, it's only a half-inch increase, rather than the typical one-inch jump.

thanks a lot for the input. Judging by the fact that the model is 5'10" 190 and wearing a lg, I figure I'll go with the large. I'm an inch shorter and 15 or so lbs lighter, but the stomach on the short sleeve that they have up looks snug. I'm not fat, but

I don't have a six pack either

really helpful post, apk. I couldn't have asked for a better response. If you don't mind me asking, what are your measurements?
