We will keep this in mind with great interest.
Anyone have any info on the RTW line Tony is expected to introduce over the coming few months?
"I contacted EG about a month ago after the initial talk of the discontinuation of their custom program and I was told that this was just >>a rumor and they would still be offering the custom program. They said something to the effect that this talk was a "rumor that >>devleoped on some style forum."
Don't know who you spoke to but Hilary Freeman, CEO of EG, sent a letter to the bespoke customers in July stating that they were leaving the bespoke business and giving Tony custody of the lasts.
The catalogues are available through email and should be up on the website soon, as Marc noted. There will be a made to order programme, but the loafers will be a couple years away. A selection of the RTW range will be available soon.

It was I that posted the comment on another forum about the correspondence with EG regarding the discontinuation of its "custom" program. Apparently, I was a bit loose with my usage of the term "custom" as it is also associated with bespoke. I used the term to denote the "choose your last, size, color, and model" program. Maybe I should have referred to it as EG's "special order program." Sorry for the confusion; in no way was it supposed to mean that its bespoke business was still up and running.
