We can easily get stock Alden shoes (Indy, Unlined Chukka, Color 8 longwing) in your size without a problem. In the Fall, I should be able to do special orders of our more popular Sewn by Hand shoes as well. We took some on the last round of Natural CXL penny's, and it went really smooth. I have a lot of leather stock coming around early Sept, and we can definitely do some special order sizing. I can do widths and narrows too.


I ordered the Natural Irish Linen (had planned to anyway) and it arrived today. It's fantastic. I keep kicking myself for missing out on that tangerine though. It would have been killer. I kept dragging my feet on the seersucker shirt as well and it's now gone in my size.

I will definitely get the Natural CXL pennys in a 12.5 when that order goes up, and will buy the 403 Indys and #8 longwings from you as well if I can't get my hands on the Cigar Indys and whiskey longwings in my size. I will get the navy blazer as well once you begin the 42L orders.

Since discovering your store in March I've now ordered 2 trousers, 3 chinos, 2 shorts and 5 shirts. Epaulet is quickly taking over my entire wardrobe. Really excited to see what you have lined up for Fall.

Hi nineohtoo and Epaulet/Mike and thank you very much for your help! So I'd love to order some Rivet Chinos, unluckily it seems as if the light beige ones, "Clay", aren't available in W28 at the moment, any chance of a restock anytime soon? Also do the shipping costs to the EU/Germany stack up per item or do they count per package? Wish you a lovely leftover of the weekend

I ordered the indigo linen walts in the same size as my others. Description says they are slimmer and its true. Should I expect the waist to stretch too or just overall slimness of the cut? All the padding/construction of the waist makes me think it will keep its size/shape. If so, I may need to go up a size. Please advise.

Great fabric!

Im after some high quality merino/cashmere/lambswool scarf.

Is Epaulet the best place to cop Johnstons scarves?

I've been wearing the Kurabos since January. From my experience, they're pretty slow-fading, but I'm a bit of a weekend warrior. When the fading does start to come through, you get an amazing bright blue. I'll see if I can take a few pics and post them, but I'm no photographer. Besides, it would be very difficult to capture exactly the color that I'm talking about. Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like I'm getting some pretty distinct vertical fades. Anyone else? Also, I have no experience with Cone Mills denim, but the Kurabos are insanely soft. Like ridiculously comfortable. The quality for their price-point is a no brainer.

Thank you sir! Really glad that you dig the Irish linen. I love that fabric. It's a nice weight that you can wear straight into the early Fall.

Thanks for posting. We're not going to restock Clay canvas, but I'll bring in a slightly darker Khaki canvas. Right now, we're planning the next run of chinos to come in around 8/25.

The waist will stay pretty much the same, but the legs will stretch out considerably if they need to. I'd recommend wearing them for a full day - you'll definitely find that they break in quite a lot.

I have the Tangerine Linen pants, and it looked like I was wearing pale orange spandex when I first put them on. After a few slow knee bends, I quickly got enough room in the legs for them to be comfortable.

Haha, we're really one of the only places to sell them. I think that you'll be really happy with the price to quality ratio on these. The lambswool and merino styes are the hands-down best scaves for the money that I've ever seen. We'll get new stock and a few new patterns around early October.

Thanks, really glad that you're pleased with them!

Overall, I found the Kurabo to be really consistent - which is why I stopped running the Smith in Cone Mills. Kurabo is soft - even when raw -, it fits well, it ages nicely, and it keeps its shape.

I echo this description completely. a really excellent denim, quite soft. I bought mine in December or January and have a few bright blue fades coming in...

Hey guys,

I built out a Sale Section on our Website:

http://www.epauletshop.com/servlet/the-Mens-SALE/Categories


We've got some solid values in there, and I'll add to that category as more Summer merchandise is marked down.

Also, I'm happy to report that the Rivet Chino shorts are here. Going to shoot them and put them online with a quickness!

Great photos.
Digging the blazer with the plaid pants. I have the same pants and will be copying the look this fall.
