....and I just added two more Somelos to the collection in an effort to make up for the emotional loss of getting in too late on the tobacco khaki tweed corduroys

Do you know yet what will be coming in terms of outerwear for fall? Any Doyle restocks? You also mentioned a new Teba-like piece you were working on a while back - is that still happening?

Just ordered a white Somelos..Looking forward to seeing what the hub bub is all about.

Also, after a soak/wash of the Camo Field jacket in a cauldron of various "chemicals" to soften it up(not even close yet), I really like this jacket.

I thought that Camo might look a little campy but this looks awesome. It is a tank of a jacket but it fits great!

It will need to get a lot colder down here to rock it, but I shall.

Thanks Mike.

Let me know if anyone wants to trade a Medium Camo Jacket for a Small. Thank you.

@badsha did you wash it already? It will definitely shrink up quite a bit

We're getting the band back together! The Doyle is going through a brand new factory here in Los Angeles, and should be re-released for Fall. Right now I'm planning to do it in both Duck Canvas and Moleskin, which retails of $185 and $195 - $215 respectively.

We've got some sportcoats and outerwear en-route from Luigi Bianchi

We made an awesome limited-edition US-Made snorkel parka with our good friends at American Trench

And we'll have a restock of the Suede Blouson and our new suede MA-1 jacket

Oh, and we're working on a wool shirt jacket concept with triple patch pockets from Southwick

In terms of the Teba... I'm honestly on the fence. Here's the thing. I like the Teba a lot. I think it sells for a place like the Armoury because it's relatively inexpensive compared to everything else.

I can probably do a Tweed Vittorio in Portugal at $650 which would be amazing and come in about $45 under the Teba. I think that our customers would probably prefer the versatility of a soft sportcoat - something that they can totally dress up if need be - over the Teba which is casual by design. In order to do a Teba well, I'd have to do it at our suiting factory, and the price is basically the same for either that or a Vittorio.

That said, I'm hoping that the Southwick wool shirt jacket will give off a little bit of a Teba vibe. And that might be something that could go out a bit North of $200, which would make it more sensible as an elegant casual piece

Great news. What colors are you planning? There's a brown Vetra jacket that I've been eyeing as I've been looking for something in the vein, but I'd definitely prefer a Doyle if there's going to be something in a similar tone.

Yeah, I noticed that.

It's Ok but it has gotten a little tight under the armholes. I've been trying to stretch them out.

Maybe when it softens(will it much?) itwill loosen up a tad. No worries though.

Interested to see the snorkel parka from American Trench. I like the work I have seen from American Trench so far so I have high expectations.

I hear your reasoning on the Teba and it is sound. You should bag the Teba, which is a type of jacket I don't like anyway. I have tried on the Teba at the Armoury (and elsewhere) and I found it to be a shapeless, unattractive jacket. I would rather wear a soft sportcoat, coverall, or shirt jacket instead of a Teba.

@SteveL91
 looking at next week on this

Alright, thanks. Any chance of a preview of some of the fabrics?

 

[rydenfan]

I'd be more in for the Teba than soft SC, but could well be in the minority.

 

[tricky]

@epaulet Mike what about the varsity jacket?

 

[Beatlegeuse]

Any new Alden pre-orders coming any time soon? I continually missed out on the Color 8 Alt Wiens but I'd definitely get in on it next time a pre-order is available.

 

[zennypoo]

Speaking of Aldens, any idea when the color 8 alt wien boots and Ryden boots are expected @epaulet?

respectfully, I'd appreciate them taking a bit longer. my wallet cant absorb those balances along with three c&j gmtos

 

[kwhitelaw]
