Are there any other linens made in Germany like end 98 in this current EFF?

To those who have received your EFF Suits/Jackets from Southwick already - did you receive shipping confirmation / tracking first, or did the box just arrive at your door?

I received UPS email that I had a package shipping. No epaulet shipping notice that I recall. I think because both suits were shipped directly from Southwick.

First wear of first Walts. Stony Beach Donegal EFF. Love the fit, this won't be the last pair.

Impeccable. Love that jacket too.

Forest Heirloom getting the runout tonight

I wish I had ordered a forest heirloom this past round. Great color. That shirt pairs well - what is it?

Now that the backpacks have launched, is there an ETA on when the other leather goods - the weekender and the messenger/briefcase in particular - will go live?

Restocking low trainers anytime soon?

I picked up the End 98, natural indigo linen. It looks like a killer fabric, though, like a few others, I'm concerned about how heavy they'll actually be. In the past, I've bought a couple 100% linen shirts to beat the summer heat only to discover they were a trap..

Now I'm really very intrigued by the nantucket red corduroy.. I do not own any red pants.. Am I that guy? Am I? I don't know....

Thanks - it's actually a Wolf vs. Goat blue/white stripe OCBD.

@epaulet any videos of this top one? Looks pretty killer, but I'm curious if it might stand out a little too much

Hey Mike and Gents,

Do you guys recommend reversing chup socks before washing?

I wash my socks in a laundry/underwear bag and I reverse them just in case. My anonymousism and chup socks seem to suffer from less pilling this way.

I just ordered a few pairs of EFF Rivets. Do I have time to change any sizing details before the order goes in?

Thanks

On edit: I'm guessing Feb 19th when the event closes, eh?

@metranger8694 yup, we can change the fit and design details before then, just not the fabrics

@SherifEnt that's the only one for this round, and actually one of the only German linens that I've ever seen. I was pretty surprised to see that. The other linens are all from Italy.

Impeccable. Love that jacket too.

agreed @dalevy - the fit is boss

@mdubs those look absolutely perfect!

Restocking low trainers anytime soon?

@scrolls some of them: which leather are you looking at?

@Wooderson not at the moment, but I'm due to visit Hertling this week, and that's a great suggestion. I'll definitely shoot videos of the plaids - they go a long way towards showing the full scale.

Hey Mike and Gents,

Do you guys recommend reversing chup socks before washing?

@JezeC I never have. CHUP socks are the toughest socks that I've ever owned. I'm not sure what you can do to harm them.

@SherifEnt Really sharp! That Cassat sweater is an awesome pop of color

@loxo nice, you're going to love that! Don't let the weight concern you, the fabric is very low-tension and open. Having a heavier weight of linen on a jacket or trouser is desirable because it makes the garment drape better.

The Nantucket Red cord is pretty freaking rad. Most dudes are either red pants-guys or not, but since you're interested in becoming one.. you may be one already.

Now that the backpacks have launched, is there an ETA on when the other leather goods - the weekender and the messenger/briefcase in particular - will go live?

@Duke Silver

Thanks for asking this, I was meaning to run this by you guys. I'm headed to Portugal next week and I've got two leather-goods manufacturers on my list.

I can make briefcases and weekenders that are straight-up world class at a killer price. We'd be looking at something like $450 on a briefcase and $500 on a weekender. Really great leather, flawless construction, and European manufacturing.

The thing that I'm struggling with: does anyone care? The problem with mens bags is that most men are very conservative with how they buy them. They'll buy a tiny fraction of what women will, and many of them will gravitate towards an actual bag brand. We can absolutely put out a superior product to a similarly priced item made in Asia, but it's hard to compete against a brand that only does bags. They just look more serious about it, and many customers will tend to trust them.

So I'm a bit torn. The backpack is great because it's unisex, and we've sold quite a few of them to women. We've sold a LOT of Stevie bags, and I'm absolutely making more women's designs. But I've had a pretty mediocre track record of making men's leather goods to date. Except for belts - we're always killing it with belts.

Given the pricepoint, would briefcases & weekenders be something that you guys are interested in? Are there other items that you'd rather see?
