I've been wearing my chambray Doyle quite a bit the past couple of weeks and while waiting in a very long Starbucks line this morning I discovered the patch pockets have side entry. I totally overlooked it in the product description and the pictures with the model with his hands in the pockets so I was pleasantly surprised by this! That type of inconspicuous pocket is so convenient, and a nice added touch, on just about any piece of outerwear.

Haha same here...was wearing it for a few months and the other day I noticed a picture of the model with his hands in the sides pockets. I ran upstairs to check mine...and sure enough

Trying something completely different today. Going with the dove gray hopsack MTO sportcoat without the matching pants.

I did not know about that pocket.

Will have to check it out when I get home!

Glad that you like the fit! All of these are rinsed, but it's possible for a bit of excess dye to come out on the first wash. Nothing you'd have to worry about.

As with any dark colors or dyed pieces, you'll want to wash them cold with other darks

Thanks, I figured this would be the case. I just haven't handwashed something new besides denim in years, so it was a bit surprising.

Could be the SF trainer in horsehide?

Hehehehe

I can't wait!

Mike, can you say what's planned for stock F/W Walts vs MTO? For instance, will you get a stock charcoal donegal?

Just trying to plan out what I order when...

Jealous of you guys. Recently purchased from fellow member but haven't had the chance to wear it. 92 degrees today.

I believe they're called "hacking" pockets. They're superb.

I can't imagine not having them on a jacket like the Doyle; another huge plus for the Epaulet interpretation of the chore jacket.

@Epaulet

Would you consider nailhead and birdseye patterns to be more seasonal? I'm finally learning the difference between some of the weaves and realized how much I love these two. Would be killer as MTO fabrics for jackets.

Great pic. +1000 for the brownstone locale vs. Smith. Is that on Butler?

 

[NickCarraway]

Haha, right alongside our Shell Cordovan Lederhosen!

Matching dirndl in Vicuña for my "Jordan Baker"?

Thank you! It's close - was actually Pacific street, just west of Court.

No, I'd say that they're year-round as patterns.

In terms of weight, the Chocolate Nailhead is a year-round cloth. The Charcoal Birdseye was a heavy patterned flannel, so you'd need cooler temps for that.

Solid!

Sure, our next stock Walts will be:

Charcoal Dongeal
Salt & Pepper Donegal
Navy Donegal
Navy Flannel

So yes, we'll have those bases covered!

Very cool, l love the dove gray sportcoat on top of those other pieces. I see that combo in Italy quite a bit, and it's really sharp.

Glad that you dig it! That was a must for Matt and I when we put together the design.

Odd and Extended Size Doyles should be here tomorrow!

Mike,

In the past I ordered a size 38 hopsack and a size 38 120s. The 120s were more tight overall compared to the hopsack of the same size. I understand there will be some differences when they are cut, but does the thickness of the fabric have any bearing on the size difference? Are pants of the same size made smaller or larger based on the type of fabric it is?

I am looking for direction on if I need to size up with flannel or if the 38 hopsack fit, then a 38 flannel will be fine.

Does flannel break in more or less like other trousers?

@EPAULET

Mike -- is the navy Italian Flannel a true navy? I'm trying to choose a cold weather suit for the office and want something very straight forward. I recall a navy flannel from last year that had more of a marled effect with light blue yarn there which wasn't quite corporate enough for me.

I was thinking about ordering the stock flannel walts and requesting an MTO sport jacket ASAP.

I'm also curious to see the Vitale Barberis options....
