No Man Walks Alone MTO and Pre-Orders Thread (Central Thread for All Projects)

[ScottMC]

@ScottMC mention it in the notes section to pre-order Lorenzo instead of Sal.

Music to my ears Thanks

 

[gdl203]

Yeah I don't bother creating separate product page because orders for Lorenzo are minuscule. (Even that word doesn't express fully how few of those we get)

That's a shame. I think it's a great trouser!

DB jackets and pleated trousers: some of those things that menswear aficionados think are cool, but prefer to double-tap on IG than spend actual money on

 

[wqvong]

Any pre-order on Frank Clegg?

Any pre-order on Frank Clegg?

No pre-orders, but IIRC we can always put in a custom order for you and their turnaround is pretty quick

 

[venividivicibj]

Will the old numbered donegal linens ever come back?

(specifically thinking of 230)

My grey silk/linen Lorenzos arrived an hour ago, and I am basking in the aura of my good taste.

NMWA - I think an email I sent y'all may be stuck in your spam folder

Formosa Summer sport coat GMTO



For years, I always found it a great challenge to find good fabric options for summer jacketing. Easy enough to find solids and I love a great natural linen jacket or summer blazer. But good patterns are always incredibly hard to find, especially for someone who likes some texture and not a light worsted wool feel. So much of what's out there in that category simply sucks.

Solbiati (part of the Loro Piana group for a couple of years now) is a category killer in linen and cottons. Not everything in their books is great, but there are a lot more options for summer jacketing than anywhere else. Like with a lot of things at NoMan, I get inspired by others, and sometimes by choices our bespoke customers make. Seeing a swatch made up as a full garment can be helpful and inspiring. In this particular case, @lordsuperb 's commission of the beige PoW linen jacket was a stunner and IMO a fantastic summer jacket to have and to travel with.

So, instead of showing pictures of swatches this time, I thought I'd take the time (and $) to have some samples made of my 4 very favorite swatches in the Solbiati linen jacketing book. I think they're all gorgeous - two of them are more tame and tonal, the other two are bolder and more contrasty.

Spoiler: Pics of each

I would like to get this round of GMTO orders wrapped up quickly so that Formosa can get everything made and shipped to us by mid-July or so (that's my hope). I know everyone wants stuff at the start of the season and we're formatted by the retail industry to do that, but I personally think it's a good time to get a linen jacket - and also it's something you'll wear throughout the years, not just this July

So here is the timeline:
From now til Tuesday (May 1): we will ship swatches to those who are interested in ordering a jacket (or several). Email [email protected] with the swatch(es) you want and your address, and we'll put them in an envelope and send them out. I'm hoping we could send all of them out today.
From now til Tuesday May 8: we will be taking orders - all four styles are here. Preorder discount is PREORDER15:
http://www.nomanwalksalone.com/index.php/pre-orders.html?makersinfo=132
May 9: we will place the fabric orders with Solbiati and send the jacket sizes to Formosa. We will target late June to mid-July for delivery.

This is for standard sizes in S, R or L. No modifications or MTM changes for those orders. Those who want to place bespoke or MTM orders using those fabrics can do that any day of any week of the year, and we will be happy to help them with those order too.

Any questions, let me know!

Is 58L (48L US) an option?

yes, although we sdo not have measurements for that size and you would have to extrapolate from the measurements grid

Greg,

Wow, great options and super timely; I was literally going to send you an email this weekend about doing a Formosa MTM option in something like this. As always, fantastic choices.

That beige POW looks so good. How versatile is that color? What color pants would it work with? Thanks.

I think you can go darker or lighter. Also denim would be great.

Paging @lordsuperb who has a SC made of this and can offer his take

The fabric is darker then the picture. Jacket looks with jeans and most colored slacks.
