About Us

Sustainable Craftsmanship

Every Epaulet garment & accessory is built to last. We strongly believe in the mantra of "buy better" over "buy more"... and it's typical for our customers to enjoy their purchases for a decade or more. All of our production is done in the USA and Peru. And most of our pieces are made in our hometown of Los Angeles.

Dynamic Experience

We strive to offer the best possible value for our customers. You'll see a constant and changing mix of stock products and preorder projects. Stock items can be shipped immediately after purchase, and preorders are an excellent way for us to offer discounted pricing, extended sizing, and unique fabrics.

Custom Clothing

We offer fully custom shirts, trousers, sportcoats, suits, and casual jackets. Although we offer in-person fittings at our Los Angeles studio, we serve the vast majority of our custom clients with remote fittings. We'd be thrilled to guide you into the perfect sizing and styling for each of our pieces. We can use photos, videos, measurements, and live chat to ensure the best fit.

Eva Kuhle // Founder & President

After a successful corporate buying career at Saks Fifth Avenue, Eva Kuhle founded Epaulet in the Summer of 2008. From its earliest days as a boutique on Brooklyn's famous Smith Street, Eva has overseen the design, development, and photography of every single product in our collection.

She created the iconic menswear shapes of the Doyle, the Rivet Chino, the Nuovo, the Walt trouser and the Laidback Pant. Her mastery of silhouettes and fit is only rivaled by her deep knowledge of fabrics, leathers, and trims.

Eva is personally invested in every part of the design process. She understands the fit of every garment and she's more than happy to personally advise all of our clients.

Epaulet Archetype // The Considered Craftsman

He's successful, independent, curious, and extremely particular about things he cares about. He has moved beyond simply buying recognizable brands. He wants to understand why something is good.

He cares about fabric, fit, construction, provenance, and proportion, and he has developed enough confidence to know what he likes without needing a logo or image marketing to validate it.

He chooses his clothing thoughtfully, he invests in craftsmanship, and he understands that great clothing should feel comfortable and versatile.

To date, we've sold Epaulet pieces to over 30,000 of these clients. Many of these men have owned and enjoyed their garments for over 15 years. May they continue to love them for many more years to come!
