Really are an awesome deal - if they had any Mediums left I'd buy them all up. (I am also 6' tall / 168 pounds, wear a Medium, definitely fitted but not overly so.)
Mike - are there any plans to do another run of the EPLA tees that are currently on sale? I am a big fan of them.
That is some nice stuff there!
In a similar vein, I ordered the navy speckled shawl collar sweater in large a few days ago and got the dreaded "our stock was wrong" email from epaulet the next day. If anyone has this and doesn't love it, I'd be happy to buy it!
So this is a day short for the whole "thankful" thing, but sometimes I forget how spoiled we are to have Mike/Adele/Epaulet around.
Today my mother wanted to go shopping at the stores that are a short walk from my parents' home. I wore a shawl collar cardigan that I purchased from Epaulet for around $350 two years ago. It looks great, was knitted in Scotland, and has held up quite well.
One of the stores that we happened to visit was a certain internationally known brand famous for its lifestyle branding, designing "updated classics," offering a mix of English country with American prep, etc. etc. etc.
Inside said store there was a sort of patchwork sweater, with an indian head, some fair isle type patterns, and something else. It was made in China from regular lambswool.
I asked the salesman how much the sweater cost.
"$995," he said without blinking an eye.
"Are you ******* kidding me?" I reflexively replied, louder than I intended. My poor mother looked mortified.
Moral of the story: I realize how lucky we are to have the stuff that Mike and Co. churn out. I always justify my purchases with the typical, "It ain't cheap, but it's worth it..." but it turns out that maybe it is inexpensive after all.
Anyway, nothing like a day in mass market retail to make you appreciate the small things in life.
Thanks guys. Keep it up.
And to FLV's point about mass retail, I feel the same thing all of the time. In many ways, Styleforum as a whole has really laser-focused what I look for in clothing and footwear. Every now and then I go back to Saks Fifth Avenue (my retail buying alma mater), and I'm often stunned at what I see. Cemented Prada shoes for $700. Lousy Hugo Boss trousers for $300. Quality that I would never accept in a garment for prices that I would never charge. It seems absurd that I ever thought that this was normal.
For Spring, we're going to offer:
Loopwheel short sleeve crewnecks (about 8-10 colors)
Loopwheel long sleeve henleys
Raglan L/S and S/S union jersey tees (those are selling like nutzo)
Raglan L/S and S/S indigo pique tees (like this year's item, but done with the new raglan shape)
Absolutely. it will conform to your body.Just received my heirloom sweater. Love it, but the body seems to be about an 1"-1.5" too small in the chest/body. Everything else fits really well. Is it reasonable to expect that this will stretch out a bit over time?
What do you guys think of the Epaulet Sport Trainers vs. Buttero sneakers?
What are people's thoughts on Epaulets pants? I've been thinking of adding a tweed pants to my rotation (+ something to go with my shell cordovan alden boots).
Quality? Slim fit?
I appreciate any thoughts on the topic!
Thanks
Not sure if you are being serious or not...But you are coming into an official affiliate thread and asking what people think. You are clearly going to get an overwhelming support of the brand and their product. Not to mention that a quick search of the thread would yield many positive response and much detail around each cut and fit.
I am not trying to be rude or write off your question in any way, so please do not take it as such. I just think the question is probably best asked a different way or even in a different thread
Fair point! I guess I'm coming from other brands' threads where people are actually a bit critical of quality etc (Everlane comes to mind).
Appreciate the advice nonetheless.
