All that remains is to wait for the restock so I can snag more!

Thanks! Glad it worked out.

I've seen other people to a TV fold with the folded end (rather than the rolled fabric edge) sticking out from the pocket, so it has a very straight line.

Yes, this is what I do. I agree it looks sharp. Cool, thanks.

Now carrying Marcoliani merino wool socks. Wool is the ideal material for socks year-round. It absorbs more moisture than cotton, so your feet stay cool in the summer. The shape of the fibers also retains air, which keeps your feet warm in the winter.

You are keeping busy!
But... they aren't over the calf.

Just checked out the tumblr blog. I will definitely be picking up the Kirin cufflinks, those look great.

Just ordered a navy pindot white tie. Any idea when you will restock the 3" navy grenadine? The site says early April...definitely want to pick one up!

Thanks

Any chance of over-the-calf socks?

 

[js4design]

ah! i waited too long and the dupioni red ps is no more...

Hey Kent,

Any idea when you'll have more sizes in the purple gingham shirt?

Thanks

Navy grenadine 3" will be restocked in June. Sorry, the text was from the last time it was out of stock.

Maybe OTC Marcoliani in the future.

Dupioni red and blue will be back in early June.

Most sizes of purple gingham will be restocked this week.

New cotton pocket squares. The two white ones have a very subtle paisley pattern. Also, the shirt shipment has arrived and most sizes have been restocked.

For those who requested fit pics, here's my polo. Got the large and love the fit (i'm 5'11" 165 lbs., usually get shirts in a medium or small).

I love the shirt, the collar, the feel of it, everything. Fit-wise, I only wish the sleeves were a bit longer. Feel like the shirt is trying to show off biceps that I don't have.

Also, I'm trying to figure out how to rock the royal blue without looking like I work at best buy.

Looking forward to the striped polos.

That's a good look, but as I'm only 5'8, I'm afraid the large polos I ordered will look too long especially the placket. Kent, did you ever make a decision as to shortening the placket and length?

I received another OCBD from Kent and would like to encourage people to check them out if you don't have one and are in the market. The fit, quality of materials, length and the absence of a front placket or pocket make it my favorite casual shirt.

Shirt looks great, but I agree that the sleeves are a touch short. I associate really short sleeves with those awful "muscle" polos made by Hollister and Abercrombie that teenagers wear. That would be the one change I'd advocate for: slightly longer sleeves. Or maybe I just need to work out more. All in all though, looks like a great buy. I look forward to purchasing one of Kent's grenadines in the near future.
