I grabbed the brass monkey chainstitch and a spare pair of Sandows - needed both like a whole in the head but prices were crazy

Also, I’m personally a fan of the old dual pocket chainstitch so, even though I generally avoid horizontal stripes, the brass monkey was a last opportunity

@avsmusic1 fantastic.. thank you so much! And yes, any sale chainstitch shirts that we have are the last hurrah of the dual pocket & hem runoff design

Trying to visualize how the the custom doyle's look. ?

This is pretty great @L.I.T. - thanks for posting it! We've actually sold one jacket in each fabric, and I think that we'll have them finished in about two weeks... I'll post up the finished garments when they come through.

Hi @Epaulet, I've sent a couple of emails about my custom shirt that was cut too short but haven't heard back - hoping you can follow up. Thanks!

@utopiaburger sure thing, please PM me your details and we'll work it out.

Would love to know if more Sinclair are coming this summer, Mike.

@losrockets no, I don't have any Sinclairs on order for this season except for the open stock in Indigo Pique. I'm on the lookout for some fabric for the Fall though.


@M635Guy they look great... safe travels!!!

@Epaulet thanks, that helps free up some budget. I would buy a FW Sinclair similar to the mocha tweed herringbone from the first run, except in a charcoal and gray tonal herringbone if you can source it!

@losrockets hmm yeah I'll keep a look out for that. I have about 12 flannel/tweed fabrics that I can run limited MTO offerings with this Fall. My priority will be to offer them for the Doyle, as that was a more popular shape, but then we'd definitely open it up for Sinclairs and other pieces.

Overall, you're going to see a big expansion of our custom abilities here in Los Angeles. To date, the MTO rivets and sandows have been made in Georgia, and the lead times just haven't been acceptable. It's taking months when it really shouldn't, and every effort that I've made to expedite things has been stymied.

So... around the end of August, I'll plan to offer full MTO Rivets, Sandows, and Wilhelm jeans in a rotating inventory of fabrics. We'll keep hard patterns of each shape on hand, and I'll personally check in on the production twice a week. I think that we can get our custom turnaround on these things down to a matter of three weeks or so.

Thanks Mike, that's awesome news! I would really appreciate being able to MTO in the Sinclair cut. I was a big fan of it, it feels much more at home under a collared shirt than the Doyle.

oooo Black Wilhelm's coming back?

Big time! We're getting an optic white one too.

And in terms of indigo.. we're going to replenish stock in the raw Kaihara denim and then bleach wash about 20 other units of it to create that crucial dad jean.
