On the Saks site, is this an Augusto?

700


Kind of. Its a distorted first generation one. They were never meant to be darted in the back and the factory that produces them (our outerwear factory) made the two button version (bought only by Barneys and Saks for one season) with that crazy button stance, so that it looks like the middle one is missing. Adding the middle button is an easy fix for any tailor with access to a buttonhole machine (this is what we did to the entirely of Barney's order of them). All that said, the fabric on this one is one of my favorite fabrics of all time. Its a double face indigo dyed knit (hopsack like pique on the front, smooth jersey on the back). Gentry had the same one as a 3 button and I bought that one. You can see it here:
1000

I just removed the back darts with a seam ripper then put it in the washing machine to take the shape of the darts out.

It should be noted that the silhouette defects have been fixed and it is now probably my favorite model we offer.

Now I've tried searching around for the answer in the forum but couldn't find anything so sorry if this was already discussed but what are the main differences in the Sam trousers?

between Sam and Sal? Sam is the washed (and often garment dyed) version of the Sal. The Sams may be a tad smaller than the Sal because of the wash process but this batch worked out pretty well. Simply put, the Sam is a casual, washed cotton chino that sits at your natural waist and has side tabs instead of belt loops.

Thanks Antonio, just purchased the cotton chocolate whipcords from NMWA. Excited to wear them a bit more casually and mix them up with some tailored clothing as well.

Spent the last week on vacation in the Southwest, so had to break out the Dickie shirt for the first time before heading back to the cold and rainy PNW.

I have a sizing question for the Thompson belted cardigan.
I'm 188 cm tall and very slim (read no muscles), which size should I go for?

And a follow up, where might I find that size you would recommend, Marcus Malmborg only has XL and bigger.

Thanks in advance!

Bloomingdales ecomm has all sizes left. Get it here. I would say size M as it runs fairly slim.

The augusto in action today on Q (see how luxurious the eidos offices are...)

1000

1000


This was one of my favorite swatches this season (its available at SAKS in Raleigh and Tyson's now, soon online). It's an exclusive I developed with Di Pray - midnight flannel oversized glen plaid in charcoal with a chocolate deco.


It's this jacket going to be available online? Can't see it on sala webpage, and I'm looking for a ecom retailer (better eur) for the Augusto model, which I really like for a causal style

It is going to be on Saks.com but its available in store now and they will ship internationally if you call with CC info. If you want, you can call Dustin Byrd (Saks Raleigh) at 336-409-6519 and he'll help you out. I just spoke with him and he'd be happy to help.
