Yes, we can do a personalized fit for you. I'm hesitating to say "MTM" because I want to manage everyone's expectations.

Technically, Individualized can make nearly any shirt. The vast majority of shirts that they make are pretty classic and boxy. For our program, we developed an exclusive pattern that emulates our Epaulet New York fit but uses their production. We'll then tweak our base fit as needed for customers.

The good news: if you more or less fit into our shirts then we can easily get these to fit you VERY well. And we can do it remotely with a few good quality images.

The bad news: if you don't fit into our shirts at all, then we cannot size you unless you're measured in person.

So we've given up some flexibility to offer much more consistency.

But yes, if you want any of the promo shirts, just go ahead and order them and use your name to reference the fit. Send me an email with large, clear images of you wearing one of our shirts. We need to see it from the front, side, and back. Someone else should shoot you wearing the shirt, and be sure to have them step back a bit if you're using a smartphone. That way you won't get the wide-angle distortion that you see up close. We can dial that right in for you.

Mike, for those of us fortunate enough to be local to EP, what's the process like for getting measured in person? Does it have to be done at a trunk show, or do the Individualized folks come by the store regularly?

How much shrink are people experiencing with pants with washing? I just got a couple MTO cotton twills that seemed to shrink (keep in mind I washed then dried with a very low setting.. they still came out damp). They seemed to shrink all over (legs, waist), and I was only expecting shrink in length.

^ sweet. Those really caught my eye. How is the leather? Stiffer than dress shoe leather? Would be cool to see the same leather used on the gats

Its definitely a bit thicker but once broken in they will be so soft. Epaulet was my real dive into nicer sneakers. My saddles started really stiff but after about 4 wears they are so soft.

I cant wait to see what colors come next because the comfort level is insane and price point is really good

A few more custom fit questions. I have a custom shirt made to my measurements from another manfacturer. I measured it, and based on that I think I would fit well in one of your XL shirts with the shoulder reduced by an inch, the sleeves reduced by 3.5 inches, and the length reduced by 2 inches. Would this be possible? Is two pockets possible?

Overdyes are back. All about it. Looks like if I was an xxl in them before then I'm a XL now?

I found shrink all over, not much, but the expected for a cotton twill. Some do better than others.

@kulfi ah, my apologies, we just had two units remaining on that - they sold as soon as the item went online

Looking to try the rivet chinos. I am typically a 35 waist. The website shows the size 34 to measure at a 35. Should I go with the 35 so it can shrink? Or, go with the 34?

How do I go about with the MTO trousers program?

Do I prepay the entire amount or just the $95 deposit? How do I do that?
Thanks

Definitely buy the larger size. If your waist measures the exact same as the waist of the pant, the pant won't close. You always need some allowance
