Eva, Any chance the Jaeger jacket will make a comeback this fall/winter?

Eva, Any chance the Jaeger jacket will make a comeback this fall/winter?

Hey there! Thanks for asking.

Short order is yes... I can actually make a Jaeger at any time. It's a $150 upcharge to do a Jaeger shape with all of its suede accents and throat latch. I can do it in any of the fabrics shown here:

I'll say that if you want to do a Jaeger in this cloth, it would be INCREDIBLE. I sold one sportcoat in it, but there's enough for another jacket. This blue/navy tweed with vicuna brown suede accents would be impossibly boss.

As you guys may have noticed, my RTC fabrics are limited this season. Earlier in the year, when ownership of RTC shifted from Samuelsohn to Individualized apparel, quite a bit of their fabric was taken and sold off. I'm slowly getting new swatches, but I pretty much have to build our assortment from scratch. Most of the fabrics that I'm offering are ones that I source myself here in LA. That way I'm 100% sure that it's available and we can deliver it.

We just signed a distribution agreement with Fox Bros, and we'll soon have access to a ton from Holland and Sherry. The plan is to build some tiered pricing options. We'll have a bunch of premium selections that are available at all times, and rotating assortment of limited and promotional options.. largely from fabrics that I source in LA.

@Epaulet - excited to hear that. I kept meaning to ask if there would be more RTC fabrics and you beat me to it.

Custom Sportcoats Lovat Mills Navy & Grey Mottled Tweed

Woven in Scotland by Lovat Mills, this incredible tweed has enough inventory for just two sportcoats. I purchased it locally, and it's exclusively available right here. It's 100% wool and features a complex variegated weave of oxford grey and navy yarns. Depending on the lighting, it can appear...

Check it out, this would really be an incredible fabric for the Jaeger. Great timing too as I have a box of cloth shipping out to them tomorrow. Just drop me an email at [email protected] or use the chat function of the site and I can set it up for you!

And just to remind everyone, here's the Jaeger shape. Fit is in line with the Nuovo. It adds:

1) Half belt and shaped rear
2) Suded Elbow patches
3) Suede undercollar and throat latch
4) Patch bellows hip pockets with suede tipping
5) Cuff suede tipping

And you can add or delete the suede accents as desired.

Hey guys! Quickly checking in on the Kamigata project. Rivet Chinos are taking a bit longer than anticipated (should have finished this week, will finish next week), so I left the Kamigata order up a bit longer. The same dudes going to go sew these, and they're slated to start Kamigatas right after the chinos come off the line.

We'll still be shipping Kamigata's this month, should be week of the 17th.

So all that said, I've got three notes for today:

1) Kamigata Preorders end on Tuesday 11/7. As usual, you can order up until 11/8. I'll be buying fabric that day and finalizing the cut. I can't extend that deadline as we have to time these to hit the sewing shop just as the chinos finish.

2) I had some extra cloth in both Blue Cozy Casentino and Camel Casentino. Seriously... if anyone has ever made a Casentino Noragi, then I've never seen it. Doubtful that I can ever run this again, so if you want this garment, then definitely preorder it. No chance of me being able to do open stock.

3) Most open stock in this shape will be Indigo Sashiko. Maybe a bit of Pewter Washable Donegal. So if you want any of the other fabrics, please preorder.

4) I'm offering a seriously rad chainstitch embroidery upgrade. It's a hand-worked rendition of "The Great Wave Off of Kanagawa." Takes four hours of labor to complete, and only a handful of artisans in the United States have the skill to even pull this off. It's available as a $185 upgrade on all of the fabrics. This video tells the story best, and it has subtitles if you don't want to watch it with sound:

Yes! Thanks for asking. All of the sportcoats finished about 10 days ago, and I shipped everyone who bought a standalone jacket.

The chinos should be done on Monday morning, so we're planning to ship all of the suits (including yours) then. Thanks!

I'm really SO excited to show you guys these new chinos. The Washable Donegal was rad as a Sinclair, but it's really fantastic as a chino. Especially the Dusty Rose. I just love this color!

We'll have a 15% off code that's live for a few days. If you missed out on the preorder, then there's going to be a short window where we have both jackets and chinos available in a range of sizes. It's really brilliant as a suit!

Does the rise measurement for the rivet chinos include the waistband?
