T Magazine posted a preview of our upcoming Hamilton Shirts for Epaulet custom utility shirt. And a nice brief writeup about the store. Thanks to Stephen Heyman and everyone else at T Mag - we appreciate the support!
The fabric used for these shirts is called “Lawn” - named after Laon, France - where it was first conceived. Yarn-dyed and woven in Japan, this 100% Pima cotton fabric is extremely lightweight, soft, and breathable. It has an excellent drape, and gives an airy feel without being sheer and retaining its strength for repeated wash and wear. It’s a great choice for warmer days, and layers well under sweaters for cooler days. We love wearing these all year long. Three flavors are available:
Glen Plaid Buttondown in Japanese Lawn: $130
Grape Gingham in Japanese Lawn: $130
Melissa’s unique “flocking” process creates a durable velvet-like coating on the standard Melissa rubber that we all know and love. Add a serious dash of elegance to your Fall looks with these gorgeous new styles! And no worries if it rains or snows - flocked Melissas are just as waterproof and hardy as their smooth rubber sisters.
Melissa + Alexandre Herchcovitch Troupe Black Flocked: $140
Cirque Heeled Boot Black Flocked: $260
We got a nice plug in the latest issue of GQ. Here’s a scan below. Our friend and often-times model Damon Boelte is wearing an entire look from our shop. Epaulet Tie, Epaulet French Cuff Tattersall shirt, and a Scotch & Soda wool vest.
It’s been twelve long months, but our re-stock of Alden for Epaulet Officer’s Indy & Brixton Boots have finally arrived! These are our best-selling Alden makeups, and extremely versatile pieces.
Alden for Epaulet Brixton Boot in Black Calfskin: $465
Two more flavors of Chambray and a stunning patterned oxford cloth piece:
Plum Chambray Buttondown Collar: $155
Indigo Chambray Point Collar: $155
We’ve got so many different Epaulet shirts coming for Fall that it’s tough to know where to start. But since there’s still a few weeks of Summer remaining, let’s ease into it with two easy choices: a blue Japanese lightweight chambray and a gorgeous pink and blue tattersall French Cuff. A little bit country and a little bit rock and roll.
Around these parts, we love a subtly rounded club collar when it’s matched to a textured, casual fabric. As Gitman Vintage offers some of the most interesting cotton oxford and chambray cloth around, we did three special makeups for Fall with their handsome slim club collar.
Gitman Vintage for Epaulet Club Collar Indigo Chambray: $155
Gitman Vintage for Epaulet Club Collar Cranberry Chambray: $155
Gitman Vintage for Epaulet Club Collar Grape Overdyed Oxford: $155
Please allow me to introduce you our latest special make-up with Alden - their classic 2-eyelet Chukka boot in rich black suede with a glove leather liner. It’s done on the Barrie last with an oiled flex-welt sole.
Our good friend and “Real Housewife of New York” Alex McCord was kind enough to laud us as her “perfect shop.” She’s pictured in front with her two handsome boys - Francois and Johan. You can read all about at Pink Memo. Alex and her family have been great supporters of our shop since we opened back in the Summer of ‘08, and it’s always a pleasure to see them!
