I also take. 33 in both old and new rivet. New rivet is so much better IMO. stick with the same size. If the waist is a hair big hit them in the dryer once. Ends up perfect. I do the same with duck driggs 33.

I'm a 33 in the new/old rivet/driggs/walt. The new rivet cut is great although I find myself switching over mostly to walts and maybe even rudys at some point as I'm really preferring a slightly higher rise these days.

@Epaulet might have missed it, but will the suede blouson or new cafe racer leather jackets be coming up for pre-order? considering going in on one of those


Also interested in this - I can't remember though, was the blouson going to be a pre-order?

@JR Magat @avsmusic1 no stress, this isn't a preorder. The suede blousons are finishing up this week, should hopefully be here by end of next week. We'll have 24 units available.

I'll have a bunch of samples to show you guys for Fall jackets too.

Thanks guys, the 33 old Rivets fit me best so I will stick to that for the new I like the dryer idea if they are a little big. I actually did that with the 34s to make them work.

Just got my Bison Calgary boots...and these things are bad ass. The pictures didn't even come close to doing the leather or the last justice...it's sleeker than I expected, and the leather is a lot more subtle, which I think makes it a lot more interesting. And on feet, they look as tough as any boots I've seen. Excellent work on these...if I'd only had a chance to see them in person sooner, I would've jumped on them earlier. (Though I sure can't complain about the price I got!) These are my first pair of Epaulet footwear (actually my first Epaulet purchase!), but they sure won't be my last.

Which leads me to a general note - is it possible to get straight-on profile shots of Epaulet's own shoes and boots in the future? It'd be a huge help for me in getting a sense of how the shapes compare to other footwear, since so many other brands and retailers always have at least one shot directly to the side of the shoe. I thought the Calgary was a bulkier last than it turned out to be, but that's largely because the photos just made it look that way. Dayton has the same issue. After being so surprisingly impressed by the Calgaries, I'd hate for anybody else to mis-perceive the shape of a last and hesitate to purchase like I did. And we all know that amazing product shots can drive sales, too...(*cough*)

Also, I missed the mention before of a suede blouson coming. Very psyched. Can't wait to see the jackets.

Oh, and I'm seriously digging the Cardiffs, too.

The cardiffs really are a winner. All eyelets looks great in the brass and I love the medallion.

RE: Loopwheel tees and longsleeves in particular. Just got a size L in the long sleeve and they are a little tight - do they tend to "relax" a little bit with wear? I wore one mowing the lawn and it did get slightly looser with wear. I'm considering buying the henley 3 pack, but XL is the one one left and I'm afraid that they'll be a little too big, especially once it stretches a little bit.

Thanks!

I know, that plaza last medallion on the alt wien boot is amazing. My understanding is that Alden only does that ram's head medallion on the Plaza last. Such a winner.

All you SoCal guys who want to show support for the L.A. Rams, that's your boot.

I like the way you think! Just need to try it on the wife, "Look, Honey. My new tailgating boots!"

Dipped into the 60's today so EP Wyatt, moleskin and Tauntons with some port flannel underneath. I'm not much of a denim head but the Wyatt is such a fantastic jacket and super soft.
