    Epaulet shop - Official Affiliate thread

    I'm wondering if there will be more plain shirt fabrics available sometime? I love the fit of the Epaulet shirts and I am planning to buy a couple in the patterned fabrics but I would get a lot more use out of plain blue broadcloth/oxford/linen.

    S.E.H Kelly

     Thanks for that - I was thinking of getting one of the car coats to wear over a sportcoat in spring/summer rain so no lining works fine for me. Key feature in a peacoat imho .. I have a Buzz Rickson USN repro and that's one of my favourite things about it, when the collar is up it's like...

    S.E.H Kelly

     Lovely pictures. (psst .. I think some "Lorem ipsum"-type text might have sneaked in there somehow.) Also, I think a shorter length on the peacoat will work very well indeed and I look forward to their appearance next AW. Anyway, I just wanted to check that the wool lining on the ripstop...

    My roll-neck is "made in England", very nice jumper although if I was replacing it I would probably go with a North Sea submariner.

    Nigel Cabourn

    Isn't there an English maker as well as the Scottish maker (Esk)? I can't remember the name, he may well not be using them now. I have a few Cabourn knits, some English some Scottish, and they're all good without much to choose between them. edited to add links, since I found them anyway and...

    The Possibly Official Engineered Garments Trading Thread

     I still have these. Getting no use out of the ocbd so would be happy to see it go to a good home, the railroad jacket is growing on me but would still consider offers.

    It should be easy enough for the spreadsheet owner to sort the rows by ascending order of date, if they need to view it that way.

    Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

     I love the breeches & frock coat silhouette of that era.

    The Possibly Official Engineered Garments Trading Thread

    I'm a true 29" waist; I wear XS in the workaday fatigues and usually need a belt as well. EG mainline fatigues I take a 30 with the side tabs done up, no belt necessary. Workaday cords (which I love and have lots of) I take a 30, also no belt needed and they are perhaps a little on the tight...

    TOJ - updates on the debacle, complaints, news about other ventures, whatever.

     I have been making a few calls this morning. The paypal agent said the item was out of their hands as it was outside their 180 day limit. The guy also declined my request to speak to a supervisor, which I'd imagine is not something he would be allowed to refuse. However, he directed me to...

    TOJ - updates on the debacle, complaints, news about other ventures, whatever.

     I just discovered my PP case was immediately closed by them, without any communication with me, not even an email. Asshats. I guess this is something that will have to be done over the phone. MikeDT and nearly everyone without a ToJ order should stay out of this thread imo; however your...

    TOJ - updates on the debacle, complaints, news about other ventures, whatever.

    Not sure if we're still doing this here, but I couldn't add anything on the google doc so: 167 dgtl-rn ($780) 168 Childplease ($380) 169 virid ($1600) 170 cold war painter ($820) (we double-counted 155, I guess that's that deliberate due to Matt T not being a forum name.) Also opened PP dispute.

     I don't want to put forth an opinion myself, but I guess people can draw their own conclusions from this Libertine review and response, which I've not seen mentioned on SF yet:

     Thanks, I did, they've definitely stopped making the desert long at least for now.

    Leather Arts & Crafts MOTO (Aoyama--Tokyo, Japan) Appreciation Thread

    ^ Good stuff. I wouldn't have thought of Moto as an Alden alternative, but I can see where you're coming from there. I never got a reply to my enquiry about the desert longs, so I guess that's a no go.

    Stephan Schneider. You'll Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties.

    For a RTW shirt from a designer like Schneider I wouldn't necessarily expect to get a precise traditional fit, in the way I would expect from a shirtmaker. That is to say, sometimes the variance in fit is part of the charm (I struggled with this with EG for a long time). The sleeve on the...

    ٭٭٭ No Man Walks Alone - Official Affiliate Thread ٭٭٭ (a.k.a. I shouldn't have slept on it)

    First package ever from NMWA arrived today: the ts(s) padded jacket. Very impressed with both the service and the jacket. Beautiful packaging, hand-written note, ts(s) catalogue, responsive to emails, etc. The jacket itself could have been tailored for me, and if the burgundy colour was still...

    ORDER NOW! Viberg for Styleforum GMTO preorders Round1 - 2015 - Ends April 7.

     I thought the sole on the left boot was separating at the front, but from the bigger picture in Fok's post in the other thread I think it's just the angle. They look great. They're also a real help visualising what the Echo boot will look like.
