Oh, we just have the Preorder Swatch for now. It will take us a few days to shoot them and get them properly online:

But they look and feel great. The fabric is a little bit thicker than the British Khaki stock. It's a great dark grey color.

And good call on the New Arrivals filter. We're working on some online improvements for the Fall, and that's definitely one of the features on my list.

If anyone would like to join me. I'm thinking about starting an Epaulet support group for people who need help breaking away from Epaulet clothes so that they can afford basic necessities like food. I'm thinking about holding a meeting every time Epaulet releases a new item so that we can talk through our uncontrollable urges.

If you would like to join, please PM me. Help is out there!

I'm doin alright with the "if it's not sold out in my size it must be new" method.

But then I am crazy slim. YMMV.

Thank you sir!

And yes, we've got an absolute ass-load of new merchandise going live! I'm still scheduling everything, but the most recent stuff coming is:

Japanese Gunmetal Twill Khakis
Nau Vice Blazer & Urbane Jacket
SeaVees Chukka and washed leather sneakers
A freaking ton of GANT - including their awesome old-school sweaters
Epaulet Canadian and Italian Sweaters

Yes, glad that you asked! We've got two collections under our label for the season.

1. Shawl neck thick cardigans from Canada. They're all entirely hand-knit, thick as hell, and designed to last for years.

2. Superfine Merino V-neck's, Crewneck's, and Cardigan's from Italy. These are awesome slim-fit knits with excellent quality and a great hand.

We actually received these in store, but photography is a little backed up. I'm working to get everything online next week.

Thinking about picking up a pair of rivet chinos. If i ordered a 32 in the Walt Corduroy Tweeds should I order the same for these? What would the differences be? I love the fit of the cord tweeds, but if the chinos would shrink (especially around the thighs and calves) so that they look skin tight then I wouldn't want that.

Yes, a 32 should be a solid fit in the Rivet Chinos. You don't have to worry about shrinkage. The only thing that will change after a wash would be the length - it may shrink by about 0.5". Legs and waist will stay the same. If the Walt fits you comfortably in the legs, then these definitely will.

The main difference between the two is the rise and interior construction. The Rivet Chino is made by a denim workshop. It has a lower rise, a riveted button fly, and a simpler, thinner waistband. It's a versatile piece that's a nice alternative to jeans.
