The Moss is nice, but it looks like it's very close in color to the British Khaki. How close are they in person?

The Moss and BK are very close in color. At first, I was a little disappointed but quickly changed my mind. Wouldn't want to own just these two pair but if you have the others, then it's nice to have both.

Moss has a significantly stronger green tone than the BK. It's also Japanese fabric vs, the UK fabric, and it's quite a bit softer. It comes from the same mill as the Gunmetal and Golden Khaki.

Don't let the flannel thing worry you - this shirt is actually pretty lightweight. And it's ridiculously soft. Mid 70's might be a little warm, but here in NYC you could easily wear this until mid May. Not sure how hot it gets where you are.

Hey guys,

We're starting to receive some early Spring merchandise soon. I expect to have the following merch in store and online within the next week or so:

Gant Rugger Spring 1
Gant Michael Bastian (some items)
Fred Perry Spring 1
Monitaly (a plaid parka and a sportcoat)

Also, we just received Alden Officer's Indy's in Cigar Shell Cordovan. They're off the chain. Tru-balance last, all metal eyelets, double leather dress sole, handsewn moc toe.

I've got 7.5D through 12D available, and they're $665. I'll put them online this Thursday, but please feel free to drop me a PM if you want to grab a unit before they go up. We received 24 pairs.

Here's a quick pic:

You bet, we'll have three of them within a week. A Gant spring parka in two colors, and a ridiculously slamming Monitaly one.

I've also got an unlined waxed cotton Our Legacy parka set to go up soon. And we'll also bring in technical Nau Spring jackets around the end of Feb.

If you get any of these in but aren't ready to post them up yet, let me know. I'm ready to buy!

Is this the Gant one you are getting?

Now the only question is whether to cuff, or not to cuff.

Great fit. Definitely cuff, but I think you'd be best with a hem and small cuff as opposed to a double or triple cuff.
