I'm getting an error when I try to find the website. Down for maintenance?

I know! I'm just now seeing this. Happened sometime late this evening. I've submitted ticket to Dev team. Hopefully they can get on it ASAP tomorrow morning.

This is fixed now (well, actually since last night shortly after I first responded).

Lavabre Cadet Made-to-Order Gloves

​

It is with great excitement that we bring you a long-overdue installment of our Special Project series, a digital trunk show of sorts. Maison Lavabre Cadet is widely considered to be the finest independent glove maker in France. Each pair of gloves commissioned through this Special Project will be hand crafted from an individualized pattern based on hand tracings provided by the client with full quirks. Furthermore, clients will have the opportunity to commission highly-rare one-piece peccary gloves.

Both peccary and kidskin gloves are available through this program, and clients will have the option to have their initials monogrammed into one or both gloves. 100% payment required in advance. Order by August 31, 2017, for delivery by December 15, 2017.

I opted for the one piece peccary. Interested to see how these look.

The one-piece peccary is really the standout of the lot. With full quirks, you can't even find them at Hermes, which stopped doing peccary gloves because of the difficulty finding enough Grade A skins.

One side note - we have worked out some payment arrangements. If that interests you, just email Customer Service. The peccary ones are a little rich.

On a separate note, I'm working on an Ironing Series that I'd like to film in September. Any suggestions / requests for topics to cover?

I was thinking:
1. How to Press Shirts at Home
2. How to Press Trousers
3. How to Sew Buttons
4. ?? Home Ironing Basics (aka. don't press wool suiting w/o a pressing cloth, etc.)

The first three seem like the most useful... looking for help brainstorming.

A video version of JeffreyD's tutorial on how to press a jacket would be cool.

A video on how to straight lace a shoe. I straight lace all my shoes and have been asked on occasion how I do it. Might be informative for some.

Great minds think alike!

Kirby, what is the process regarding the Lavabre gloves once an order is placed?

I'm reaching out to people today. I'll email a PDF for hand tracings that need to be mailed back. Then I'll submit to Lavabre Cadet when their factory reopens first week of September.
