EIDOS FW16 PRE-ORDERS

PART 1 : FIELD JACKETS






This coat needs no introduction, it's the fantastic field jacket designed by Antonio, that can work easily from a pretty cool look over a suit or sport coat, down to a casual jeans and sweater look.

None of the fabrics we chose were sampled so you will have to use your imagination when looking at the swatches

We chose 5 fabrics with Antonio, and while a photo of a swatch conveys little, please know that it was a long process of elimination of many great swatches to get to those - all five are really awesome, with very different hands, weights and textures.

Note that all the jackets will have tonal buttons - no high contrast button colors.


Fabric options:



Brown & beige large herringbone fabric from Moessmer, 550g weight, very soft hand







Brown/grey thick basketweave wool from Loro Piana, double-faced with grey flannel, 550g weight



Midnight navy Japanese cotton in a sateen weave, medium weight






Grey melange herringbone, 100% wool from Lanificio di Pray, medium weight

Navy "donegal" nailhead, 100% wool from Bottoli, 340 grs weight


Field Jacket Size chart

based on this current fall field jackets (all sold out by now) and measured by us






PART 2 : HUNTING JACKETS









Eidos's interpretation of the Maremma jacket, a classic of Florentine outerwear. First used by Tuscan cowherds as a bird-hunting jacket, its style and extremely sturdy fabric guaranteed easy movement as well as protection and comfort in the open air. Antonio's version keeps the concept of the game pockets and he designed the jacket with harmonious long lines.

There again, none of the fabrics we chose were sampled (except for the shearling) so you will have to use your imagination when looking at the swatches

We chose 5 fabrics with Antonio, and all five are great. In keeping with the spirit of the coat, all fabrics tend to be on the weightier side but with varying hands and textures. We chose three fabrics that are the same quality of that dense, boiled virgin wool as we sold this season (sold out within days...). It is simply perfect for a Maremma jacket.

In addition, we're also offering - for pre-orders only - the shearling version (Japanese weathercloth cotton outer and full shearling lining)

Note that, here again, all the jackets will have tonal buttons - no high contrast button colors.


Fabric options:



The Beast : Brown heavy wool, 720g (think heavy "great coat" overcoating)



Boiled 100% virgin wool from Moessmer, 630 grs


Grey boiled 100% virgin wool from Moessmer, 630 grs



Brown boiled 100% virgin wool from Moessmer, 630 grs


Charcoal boiled 100% virgin wool from Moessmer, 630 grs



Navy fuzzy textured wool mix, 550g


Last but not least... for the ballers out there (note that the sample is one size too small for Quinton)


Brown Japanese cotton hunting jacket with full shearling lining & collar

will there be Valstarino pre order?

There won't be.

Also, Valstar changed hands last summer and FW16 will be the first collection under new ownership. You will notice a lot of changes in the styles and design direction.

Care to elaborate? I really like the 3 jackets I have and can't imagine "a lot of changes" will be good.

Quality will not be going down but the designs are taking a slight change in direction - not necessarily for the bad.

The new owner is another men's garment manufacturer and they have more resources on the design and development side. They're taking the brand into a more modern realm while trying to keep the DNA (particularly emphasizing the original rainwear history). So you'll see classic wool, tweeds and suede fabrics on the outside but with better performance construction (membrane bonding, taped seams) on the inside to make the garment a bit lighter and more wearable in various conditions.

The designing is more purposeful and coherent, rather than a collection of cool fabrics. There's a logical set of pieces from shorter bombers to trenches, in a thought-out color palette. It feels like a collection.

We weren't disappointed at all.

SAMUEL GASSMANN - SPECIAL PROJECT







Samuel agreed to open up a special opportunity for our customers to order his new series of domino inspired black/white cufflinks, with the numbers that you want on them. They're really lovely cufflinks in bone and ebony with a silver link, and quite versatile with a black side and a white side depending on what you're wearing them with.

We're opening up a window for those orders until next week (Feb 26) and then we'll organize all the orders and numbers for him and send the master order to Paris. It will take about two months for him to craft them and ship them to us.

What domino numbers will you pick? Lucky numbers? Something with a special significance?

ROTA FW16 PRE-ORDERS


Just like last season, here's an opportunity to order your size and in a color you want. This time, I'm showing a greater range of colors for each fabric quality, including a bunch we won't be carrying off the rack - to give greater choice to those who know their Rota size and are interested in more fabric options.

We are also offering the option to order it in a new style that we developed with Rota : higher rise, flat front with side-tabs. Front rise is 28 cm on that one vs 26 cm on our regular mid-rise belt-loop trousers. We won't be offering pleated options for these pre-orders.










All prices are net of the $40 tailoring discount, and PREORDER will give 15% off at checkout.

8 fabric types in several colors each - note that the scans are much closer to IRL color and saturation than the camera shots.


Flannel wool trousers, 340g - a NoMan classic from day 1




Wool twill, 360g - the classic stuff, lighter wearing than flannel




Crisp plain-weave, 390g - for those looking for a lot of texture and a crunchy dry hand
[FYI: we prob won't have any of those OTR]



1000



Wool cavalry twill, 440g - fantastic weight and a nice, pronounced twill weave




Donegal wool trousers, 380g - for that rustic vibe with fall/winter sport coat
[FYI: we prob won't have any of those OTR]



1000



Mini-houndstooth wool, 280g - patterned trousers but still in good taste
[FYI: we prob won't have any of those OTR]


1000


Fine-wale corduroy, 570g - another one with NoMan since day 1. Imagine this with side tabs
inlove.gif





Heavy twill cotton, 430g (not garment-dyed) - the perfect fall/winter cotton trousers.




Deadline for pre-orders is 2/21 at midnight ET

Sizing guidance

As a general rule, we caution anyone who has not had the chance to try on the Sartoria Formosa cut and size it properly, against ordering anything made to order. That said, if you want to go ahead and are not sure of your size, here is some general guidance & measurements (there will ALWAYS be some variation). In addition, we strongly suggest to engage in a sizing discussion here or in the No Man affiliate thread with other Formosa customers, as you will surely be able to get good feedback from others with a similar build

Pre-Order Pricing



We are offering a special price for pre-orders, through a 15% coupon (works only on these pre-orders) : enter PREORDER15 at checkout.

Note that the prices paid here for pre-orders are 50% of the total price. The balance is due when the garment is ready to ship.



Pre-Order Window



Pre-orders are open for one week only until April 12th. After that, we will send the group order to Sartoria Formosa so that they can start procuring fabric and cutting.


Delivery Window


The garments are expected to be finished and delivered to us throughout the months of September & October. We will endeavor to provide timing update as the production process advances.
