Still hearing the siren song of that Fox Brother's Cranberry. Mike how much warmer will the Fenway wear than the Quincy (I assume some amount due to the lining)? I love my Quincy in the fall and spring but I don't know if it's Canadian winter wear

Oh man it’s so freaking good! The Fenway is going to be significantly warmer than the Quincy due to the lining and the double breasted design. That fabric is hardcore too. It’s about as warm as a tailored wool overcoat can be @Sartorium

I have two questions.
Are there going to be stock individualized OCBD? I thought I heard they were coming. Want to try out a size to get a baseline if they’re on the horizon.
Second, can we order Southwick MTO trousers in fabrics not on your site? I’m looking for something like a chino fabric, cords, or moleskin. How do we arrange that if it is possible?
Thanks in advance

@dcjohnson yes to OCBD off the rack shirts, should have them in about three weeks. We did some Fall flannels too as stock.

For the pants, we have cords and chino cloth with Hertling right now.. there’s some great options and it’s definitely less expensive with them

epaulet noob here. Will any of the corduroys be available this fall as a RTW option? Or only MTO? Slightly nervous to pull the trigger on the latter as I don't have any previous experience with sizing.

Just MTO for Hertling cords, but if you have a pant that fits you well now, I can easily guide you into the right fit and shape based on a few easy measurements

Apologies if this has already been addressed earlier in this thread, but is there any ETA on the grey sashiko EZ pants? If we preordered back in early August, will that arrive in mid-October?

I don't think it's late or anything (definitely not a complaint), but am curious.

Thanks!

@JackL2 right on track.. I’m expecting to ship all that Sashiko in about two weeks

Caved and ordered my Fenway. Mike it looks like the specifications are bigger than the Quincy for the same size, is that just because the chest overlaps? Should I take the same size? I've been having trouble layering a sweater underneath my Quincy but not sure what to do about Fenway sizing.

Here is what the product page has to say:

"*We advise that you order the same size as your sportcoat in the Quincy. For the Fenway, order 1 size down. For example, if you wear a 40 sportjacket, order a 39 in the Fenway."

Fenway is most definitely larger, as the style tends to lend itself more to layering.

Any update on EFF back in August? Just gauging time frames is all.

@espen which EFF?

@Sartorium thanks dude, you're going to love it! I'd say to order 1 inch below your typical sportcoat size (ex get a 39 Fenway if you take a 40 jacket). You'll still have room for a thick sportcoat or sweater underneath, it's a pretty generous fit.

Maybe I missed it, but I don’t recall seeing Mike’s favorite fabric choices for this Southwick promo. In the meantime, what does everybody else like?

SOUTHWICK PROMO EXTENDED

Hey dudes, we ended up with a bunch of fitting appointments today and tomorrow in LA, so I got Southwick to extend the discount window till Thursday. That's going to be the hard deadline though, as they want to start work on everything Friday morning. So the codes southwick20 and barberis15 are still active

@Epaulet The Rivet and Sandow Ends for Friends back in late August

@espen ah should be about two more weeks on those.

@suuteebird thanks for asking, I'll hook that up in the morning, definitely got some strong call-outs and things that we've sold well.
