Loved this post! The picture of you shooting the gun is precious. And it was great going to Napa with you and the rest of the group. I had such a fabulous time! Can’t wait to see you soon for GNO, and I’m excited to see what’s in store for Fifth&Brannan.

xo,

Really nice collars. Haven’t seen those anywhere. I especially like the second collar. Keep up the good work!

Comment on Did you know Fifth&Brannan has more… by Lpwickerbottom

That plum color would be smashing for pants. A darker alternative to nantucket red. Still preppy but more urban at the same time? LL Bean Signature had a similar color in their canvas pants called Currant.

I've been very tempted to get these but skeptical of the fit and styling.

If nothing else, fantastic photos with true to life portrayal of stress, angst, concern, and focus. Kudos!

I have always imagined my premier line launching in the F/W season, so I was sad to have to extend the date to S/S. The more I think about it, the better the decision sounds. I will be more prepared, my designs will be more thought out, and S/S is a great line to learn from so I can have an awesome F/W collection.

I'm glad you enjoy the details I have been putting into my pieces. It's so nice to hear positive feedback! I completely agree with you about not having in-your-face details. I want my clothes to be easy to pair with a suit, or attractive enough to stand alone. As far as convertible cuffs go, I have never considered using them. I will definitely look more into the idea of it though.

Thank you for sharing your comments and suggestions!

Stumbled upon this through your interview on MTMNY. Disappointed to see that your launch has been delayed as there's really some interesting ideas here. I love the contrasting collar and placket trim. As you worked for JCrew, I'm sure you know how those details were hugely successful for them. A little contrast on a sleeve placket or inside the collar – I love that. It's subtle details like this that make a piece unique and stylish, without stepping too fashion fwd (i.e. scaring off many men). I could wear that to work or with a suit. I like how you're doing a lot of french cuffs on casual shirts. You made a contrast and club collar french cuff shirt look casual and effortless – WOW! Props to the EG for pulling off the look too.

Would you consider convertible cuffs? On nearly all my MTM shirts I opt for convertible cuffs so I can rock some links or colorful silk knots whenever I feel like it on a casual shirt. A single layer instead of a double french cuff also reduces the bulkiness of the sleeve which might make a shirt look more dressy.

Awesome! I'll keep checking back for the shirt! Button down collar please?

Also, you won't have to spend a fortune in tailoring with our shirts :)

Hopefully I can make you both proud! I like the idea of having a clean, classic piece in the line that you can't get anywhere else. I think it will be a great staple piece that can be paired easily with other articles!
