They're a bit out. I just got the final sample of the EPLA sportcoat - I'll shoot some photos of that tomorrow to show you guys. It looks great, but is still in development.
For the Chambray Doyle, I'm just waiting on confirmation from our cutter that the fabric is all good. I don't want any surprises if we do a preorder on it. I should be able to put that up next week.
We dropped the woven ties last week, and I've got a bunch of knit ties to go up next week.
4/19 would be an EXCELLENT day to come here. I'll be here all day. I'll have details tomorrow, but yeah, that would be the perfect day for you to visit the SM store.
Sharp! I love the compact twill with the cutaway collar!
Haha, no the Luchino has been formally retired. But the EPLA cotton pique version is in process. Found a good local source for MOP buttons so we can pimp it out a lil bit.
Which ones? The FF Sportcoat round from January is delivering now - we've got a few stragglers, but we've got most of it either shipped out or in process and pending shipment in the next few days.
The next round of FF jackets will come in early July for an estimated Sept-Oct delivery.
You'd have to pay to return the item, but if you're domestic then we'll ship you the replacement on our dime.
Compared to our in-house line and the sportcoats that I design, the Doyle is about as slim as everything else that we make. But yes, compared to most OTR jackets, it's a bit smaller.
Hopsack is great, but I think that Tobacco color is killer. If you already have a tan trouser, than that's a nice extension. You might also consider our OTR Espresso Super 120s pant if we have your size:

No, our deliveries are on hold here. More on that tomorrow.
Still in the early stages on that. I put it on hold until we nail down the Rivet Chino Garment Dye shape, as that will be what the jogger is built off of. I have what (I hope) is my final sample of that, and we can then build the short and the jogger out pretty easily.
Very cool! Love the color combo.
Khyber red is really pale, almost like a dark salmon tone. It's pretty dressy and the khyber cloth is very light and smooth.
The Factory Finds washed red was more in that nantucket red tone, and it was a garment dyed canvas. Way more casual, textured, and saturated in color.
I've got the Overdyed 14oz Kaihara Denim Doyle coming next week. It will come in a dark navy and a black overdye. Colorfast, so you won't have to worry about accidental bleeding - although you'll want to wash it separately the first few times.
I'm working on two wool scenarios for the Doyle. The first would be an enzyme washed and hot-rinsed wool - essentially creating a boiled wool which would remain machine washable by the owner. And we're looking at doing a lambswool flannel and 3/8 liner, thereby making a dressier shirt-jacket variant.
When can we expect the chambray Doyle and EPLA blazers to drop? Thanks!

Mike - when can we expect the new tie lines to drop?

These days have been pretty hectic since I'd arrived here in CA and I'm thinking if I can even step it up a notch. I just realized that my favorite band ever hasn't sold out its 4/19 meet & greet tickets in LA yet (never been to one of these). So I'm wondering if I can squeeze a flight from SFO and my first EP store visit in that day as well. With an early flight, I probably could. That would make for one awesome weekend.
Mike, who is actually working in the SM store that Saturday?

Will the Luchino be saved since it had the shout out from @hommeschooled?
Haha, no the Luchino has been formally retired. But the EPLA cotton pique version is in process. Found a good local source for MOP buttons so we can pimp it out a lil bit.
Does anyone remember when the Fall FF sportcoats are due in?

Does anyone know the exchange shipping policy? I know I pay for my shipping back to EP, but I'm not sure if I must pay for shipping again to myself or if it's included.

Doyle's are cut slightly slim? The 40R chest is a 21 inch which is often a 38R coat measurement (though we are on the borders here of course). Just curious about fit. People have found it essentially true to size?
Sorry if this has been addressed before, but this is one of those SF threads that moves very fast and just impossible to search through when one has to work!

Mike - I want a new tan or brown work trouser for spring and summer. I was thinking either the tobacco 130s tropical or the wheat hopsack and leaning towards the tobacco as the wheat might be more tan and similar to some of my tan irish linen pants. Of course, it sounds like the hopsack is a favorite of yours. Thoughts? Anything else to consider? Thanks.

Ooh. We are on the same wavelength with this one.
Mike: will you have Driggs in size 30-32 in stock at SM soon? I think one of those sizes were out of stock. Will need to visit to try again.
No, our deliveries are on hold here. More on that tomorrow.
Hey Mike -
Just my monthly update request on the joggers. What are we looking at time wise? When will we see samples? Decided on color ways?
Still in the early stages on that. I put it on hold until we nail down the Rivet Chino Garment Dye shape, as that will be what the jogger is built off of. I have what (I hope) is my final sample of that, and we can then build the short and the jogger out pretty easily.

Very cool! Love the color combo.
Mike,
What's the difference in color between the Khyber red and the recent FF faded red?
Khyber red is really pale, almost like a dark salmon tone. It's pretty dressy and the khyber cloth is very light and smooth.
The Factory Finds washed red was more in that nantucket red tone, and it was a garment dyed canvas. Way more casual, textured, and saturated in color.
Raw Indigo Wool Doyle. Now that would be bad ass.
I love this idea, except I'm not excited about a jacket that would bleed. It's a PITA enough that I like raw denim and have to deal w/ not ******* up the car/couch/etc. I don't want a jacket doing that as well--plus not being able to wear white shirts...
I've got the Overdyed 14oz Kaihara Denim Doyle coming next week. It will come in a dark navy and a black overdye. Colorfast, so you won't have to worry about accidental bleeding - although you'll want to wash it separately the first few times.
