I remember one style guru thinking that Mohair suiting came from a Rabbit. The poor dear was confusing the Angora Goat with the Angora Rabbit.
Who on earth was that?!

Have a guess...
I'm at a loss, but I'm hoping Foo or Manton.
Think: Wine
Think: Nuclear Holocaust.
Think: Trump.

I was checking Epaulet's site last night, did something happen to the store?
The one in New York closed and they moved all operations to LA. Is that what you meant?
Interesting. Did not expect that. Stocks also got a lot smaller.
Didn't they have two locations in NyC?
He pretty much explained it well and sensibly on a thread on SF.Any back story of the move? It's rather drastic.
I thought he had a good fix on the business and wasn't spouting the usual fashion biz nonsense. Probably one of the few not bankrolled by family so had to be an actual business person.Cost of living in NYC, most customers not from NYC, closer to the LA garment industry and the need to live there, casual customers to the bricks & mortar store had dwindled

I think so. He said that there was a huge drop off in foot traffic and people making purchases in person.
I think the new model in LA will be more MTO. I think I read they will do measurements by appointment at the new shop
Even with decreased foot traffic, wouldn't the online sales be able to offset it. I understand that keeping a brick and mortar store front might not be financially sound, but didn't think it would up root them.
Sales probably dropped when that hipster school teacher with the hideous beard stopped spending his entire weekly wage in there!
It may be a chicken and egg situation but I visited the shop at the Bowery a couple of times. The first time there were racks and racks of jackets and pants in a loosely Mod-influenced style, named 'Weller', 'Daltrey', 'Caine' etc. The second time there was barely anything on the racks. Whether the dwindled OTR stock caused people to stop going to the store, or they reduced their OTR stock because people weren't buying it I'm not sure which came first.

You need to narrow it down a bit, hipster teacher with gross beard describes a lot of motherfuckers.

Has anyone ever handled his shirts? They're not my taste, they're expensive, and NYRanger talks up their fabric and construction quite a bit.
I own one of his cashmere ties (purchased 2nd hand): it's great material. I've only worn it once and cannot determine its durability.
By his? You mean Epaulet?
Not gonna burn the tie, I paid $29 for it and I like it. Don't have any of the shirts and don't plan to. What makes the them burn worthy?Please burn

That is certainly a legitimate reason!Because of the ass-born teacher no-teacher provenance
Btw, is IS still around on SF.
You his stalker?He is, although he is much more restrained than he used to be. I think that he primarily posts in the Luxeswap thread. He doesn't even visit every day and only posts a couple of times each visit, so IS is much more restrained, which I think is a good thing, both for him and for SF.
