Saw a Baby Camel Hair sport coat in Australia in my size show up on eBay last night for $170. Couldn't resist. Thanks to whoever listed it!

Has anyone else noticed the fit of their shirts seems to have changed? I got two from the latest Factory Finds and the University Stripe that was recently released and in all three the fit around the waist and stomach area and darting in the back is a lot looser than my older Epaulet shirts. The fit is not as sleek as it used to be which is kind of a bummer :(

I've noticed the same. I'm wearing the new turquoise chambray in M and it's much baggier than my other EPNY M's. My recent FF has the same issue. Not sure if it's a QC issue or purposeful.

I did not have this experience w/ my recent Univ Stripe, but it might have been from an older batch (picked it up from SM closing sale, but decided not to keep).

However, my FF shirt experience was definitely in line w/ this. It was much larger through the chest and notably so in the sleeve volume. I PM'd Mike about it and he was super helpful as always w/ getting me sorted out.

I think the first round of FF shirts had a few issues, but I would expect they will get addressed going forward.

I hope that it's not indicative of some "new fit" with their shirts going forward. I can see if the first FF using a different factory resulted in some wonky specs here and there but the OTR University Stripe being that way also leads me to be concerned. Epaulet shirts have always fit me better than any other shirt but these last three I mentioned look and fit more like something from J Crew. I don't mean that to sound harsh or whatever, just relaying my recent experiences.
