Today marks the start of a special ordering period for three stylish spring/summer pieces: Linen Overshirts, Suede Overshirts, and Cotton Crewnecks. By placing your order now, you ensure that you secure your desired items before they potentially sell out, and you can even explore additional color and size options.
These garments are available through a dedicated page here.
Moving forward, we plan to offer this process bi-annually—once in autumn for the upcoming spring season and once in spring for the foreseeable autumn. Earlier this year, we launched our Donegal coats and cashmere knits, received rave reviews, and delivered them in September and October.
Now, we’re preparing spring/summer pieces for dispatch in March or April.
The previous offering was a hit; we sold nearly as many knits and Donegals then as we have in stock this autumn. Subscribers seem to appreciate both the assurance of availability and the option of ordering less common sizes (for instance, XXXL) and diverse materials.
For instance, our camelhair Donegal coat, although one of our pricier items, quickly garnered attention and inquiries post-launch. While we won’t reintroduce it, we’re optimistic about offering fresh materials in future seasons. As patrons become acquainted with this process, we hope they feel empowered to secure items they’re particularly fond of.
Here is what is available in this pre-order:
- Linen Overshirts in four established colors
- Cotton Crewnecks in past colors plus three exciting new hues
- Suede Overshirts in five shades, though only one will be regularly stocked
- Introduction of a deerskin variant of the overshirt for the first time
Before we delve into specifics, let’s clarify the distinction between pre-order and made-to-order (MTO). Every piece in this collection is crafted exclusively for the customer; even standard-size orders are produced solely because of the request.
Consequently, these orders cannot be returned or exchanged. We are unable to restock or swap them as it would disrupt inventory for other customers. It’s essential to understand that each order is tailored for individual customers, thus our intention to refer to these as ‘made to order’ (MTO) moving forward. We hope this clarifies that it’s not reserving an upcoming item, but rather, ordering specifically for oneself.
Your feedback is invaluable—if you’ve faced any confusion regarding this process in the past, please reach out and share what could make it clearer!
