Going all Epaulet for a party yesterday. Jets to Brazil shirt, LBM jacket, tobacco Rudys, and Carmina x Epaulet shoes. And EP CXL belt you can't see! Taken shortly before I squirted cooking grease on the front of the jacket and I suspect ruined it, so this might be my last wear for this jacket... Which I'm really sad about.

EFF shirt from over a year ago. Awesome fabric. Just getting around to wearing it now because my circumference was too great back when I actually ordered it....

Any update on the Sashiko Doyles? Are we looking at mid-march delivery? This weather has me getting antsy!
This has been on my mind too - trying to figure out if I'm going to be able to wear my chainstitch ring ring with my sashiko on a trip I'm taking 3/17 :D

any decent / fine (sufficient) tailors in upper west side NYC? just need a hem (and perhaps narrowing of the trouser leg). prefer not to pay a leg and an arm.

My blue steel cavalry twill Taylors just arrived and I have to say how much I wish this final EFF run were in the Taylor or Gable model. The cloth is wonderfully textured and with a fantastic reflective quality thanks to the pronounced twill. I went all-out this time with the details: side tabs, button fly, and even a widened leg opening just to see how it would turn out; I'm glad I did now that I know this was one of the last pairs I could get from Hertling.

I still have one pair in the works in light gray flanella, then the Southwick summer models. I hope they live up to Hertling's quality.

@suuteebird - I got the same jacket and am now just waiting for the temps to go back up again so I can bust it out. We were teased with temps in the 60s to start last week before we got 8" of snow on Thursday. Now we're hovering back around freezing again. :(

I got 11" over in Livingston County. My wife just texted me and said 2" expected tomorrow too. :(

I haven't been paying close attention lately -- does @Epaulet still do EFF for the Rivet? I've got a couple of pairs from 2 or so years ago that are phenomenal and would love to grab some more.

@Epaulet - When's the deadline for this Hertling promotion?

I work in Waterford and we got well over 8" at our office and there were white out conditions much of the afternoon. I live in Birmingham and when I got home from work Thursday evening we had maybe 1" and by the end of it we probably had less than 5". It's always interesting how different the snowfall totals can be within just a few miles radius.

Yeah I work in Clarkston and live in Brighton and the snowfall differences can be crazy!

@Michigan Planner tomorrow my dude! Going to shoot two videos today: one for the tonal Seersuckers and one presenting my top five choices of the whole promo, from what remains in stock.

Tomorrow I'll do IG live again to answer any specific questions on fabrics. Shooting for 1PM PST.

@jmaudi0 really close. Right now they're supposed to finish sewing Friday/Monday. Then a few days for dye. Figure we'll be ready to ship them out end of next week. Ultrafleck should be ready to ship the beginning of next week.

@duff406 this is awesome! Love how Jets to Brazil holds a tie.

@bbconair the guys across from our former storefront on Orchard Street are amazing, inexpensive, and do work in an hour. Not anywhere close to you, but might make sense if you want to go to the LES for lunch or something.

@Doktor Corn excellent... glad to hear that you're so pleased with them!

@suuteebird oh my god, that came out so boss!

@turkey_sandwich no, we haven't been able to run that in a few years, but we'll definitely have a fresh MTO selection for this season.
