😭
Between no tennis trainers and no sweatpants or hoodies, my at home winter wardrobe is really taking a huge hit as things wear out. I tossed my last pair of tennis trainers about a year ago. I still have one hoodie left, but was the thinner indigo type, not the gunmetal one with the double zipper that I loved way too much.

The soles of my natural horsehide GATs have come loose, but I think I can just have them reglued by a cobbler. They have held up really well. Great patina too. I think they are 8 or 9 years old.

I mean to actually make a proper listing for this, but I have three mint unworn 10.5s. Olive, saddle tan, and I think burgundy chrome or some such. All for sale. My feet grew.

And of course I have these because the Epaulet trainers were the best value in footwear by like ten miles for a few years there. No contest!

Haha, I hear what you're saying. Anyone who knows me will attest that the tiedye camo sweatpants of Winter 2020 are my usual uniform for the house. They are freaking amazing, and I just rotate two pairs back and forth.

To be honest, I don't see myself getting back into them. I think that they were a solid product, but I just don't have the branding to really carry them. I'm grateful to have sold so many custom WEBA Merino Wool shirts this past year. But I'm not sure that one brand can be good with both that kind of product AND sweatpants.

That said, I interviewed Pat Allen from Uniform LA earlier this year, and I know that they do a great job with sweatpants. I've heard good things about their products so it might be worth checking out what they're offering

Wearing my camo sweats today!

My horsehide GATs are still going strong. Been resoled once so far, and wear them all the time.

Somebody’s saffron denim Kamagata almost finished at the factory. Just needs buttons for the sleeves and hidden front closure.

LOL I'm at a freezing cold cabin right now, wearing them to bed. Turns out that they work nicely as pajamas too.

Man... I love how this made up! We'll look to ship all of the Kamigata pre-orders on Monday, and I'll definitely grab photos of each individual color. We're going to have open stock in Flecked Denim and Black/Blue Denim.

I think that I've mentioned that my girlfriend makes informational Youtube photos on astro photography and astronomy in general. We did a quick collab with her a few months back with the "Astro Christie" hand-dyed Sashiko blanket.

She just released a new video, and it's pretty fun! If you're interested in deep space objects and how they get their names, I think that you'll really dig it...

Happy New Year guys! Hope that you have an amazing holiday!

Let's take a moment to admire this gorgeous custom Doyle jacket!

Commissioned by one of our clients in Canada, it's tailored from a thick double-faced wool. This heavy fabric is intended for overcoats, and it gives the Doyle a beefy outerwear vibe.

The exterior is a large-scale heathered navy herringbone weave. The interior is solid navy blue. Our client chose genuine mother of pearl buttons for an eye-catching contrast detail.

This fabric is no longer online, but we have a bit more available. I can do any of the Epaulet & Hickey shapes in this cloth (sportcoat, overcoat, doyle, field jacket, any trouser).

It's the mark of a good pattern/design that it can handle such a wide array of fabrics with such grace.

I cleaned the suede and uppers on my GATs today. I have to say I've completely enjoyed these. They've been hammered on a lot, this is the first time I've paid any attention to them in a long time. Things were getting a little ugly...

Applied some Saphir suede cleaner (Saphir Medaille d’Or Omni’Nettoyant - no I don't know how to pronounce it either) with a small boar's hair brush.

Even for a quick pass, not damn bad...

I also paid a bit of attention to the dirty vamps. These will get a more-thorough cleaning in the spring. They're likely to go with me on a month-long trip to Europe with my family.

For anyone worried about using the Saphir Suede Shampoo on their suede, this is the lesson that while it seems strange to soak and scrub your suede, it's totally fine for the quality of suede used in shoes anyone on this site is likely to buy, and the results are really great. This was really an imperfect overall attempt, but still improved the shoes a lot.

DIGGING IN THE CRATES PROMO SHIRT MAKE UPS

Hey guys we received some of the 'digging in the crates' promo shirts make ups from Individualized during the Holiday some are still coming in so hang tight. Here's some photos of some customers shirts below. Going to include the collar choices below because I know I always wonder what is what in the photos.

If you missed out on these shirts get in your order soon. We'll be doing last call soon. Get 15% off with code 'digging15' as well.
CUSTOM SHIRTING RARE DONEGALS, FLANNELS, TWILLS, AND PRINTS

Probably the wildest and most eye catching shirt out of the entire promo the Albini Butterflies Linen with our most popular button down collar. It may not be the season where you are for linen but between the over worked heaters and walking you might be doing this Winter, a linen layer inside a sweater and coat will be nice to keep you from sweating bullets.

Here's a beautiful Super 140s Brushed Oxford from Alumo in a retro check pattern made up in our Camp Collar. It's a nice weight for Winter, with an exceptionally soft hand that you'll want to keep wearing into early Spring.

Here's the Cherry Moon Check Flannel in the Ming Collar which has quickly become our second most ordered collar this year. The brown horn buttons the customer chose really compliment the colors of this cozy bright red check flannel.

Here's another great brushed twill in cream with a mocha caramel graph check running throughout it. Made up with the PT Button Down Collar with Brown Horn buttons.

Albini Super 120s Cyan and Cranberry on a cream base flannel Camp Shirt is a combo you wouldn't expect but it made up beautifully and will keep you warm for the months to come.

I just love big bold colorful Paisley Patterns especially when they're made up in light weight silky feeling woven Poplins. Definitely makes layering a lot easier when you wear unlined jackets like the Doyle or Field Jacket. This shirt is made up with our Medium Spread Collar.

Here's another favorite the Fireside Donegal Herringbone made up with a button down collar and brown horn buttons. It's hard not love Donegal fabrics with their colorful flecks especially against a tonal herringbone like this one.

On the dressier side we have this Super 100s Check made up with our Narrow Point Collar. The floral print with the tonal geometric pattern make this fabric something special to see in person.

This Tangerine Check Flannel made up with our button down collar really came out great with that perfect punch of warm colors.

Lastly we this teal check brushed herringbone with the narrow point collar. If you prefer cool colors over warmer palettes this one is definitely up your alley. The subtle herringbone adds such a nice texture to an already great teal pattern.
