18 East

[blue-blueberry]

Are the balloon pants as big/baggy as the name suggests? I thought it was interesting they advised TTS.

IMO the vibe is the same as richmond cargos or goreckis, maybe a little cleaner if anything. I was expecting something a litter wider at the knee but totally ok with how they are. I think the sizing is mostly for the waist? I got M and I'm 5'10" with a 32" waist, they fit great. Here's a pic I took (shirt headed ISOSam's way haha)

Do people size up one or two sizes on the Kanata?

I also took the plunge on the suit, love the Ripstop version.

Sounds like there will have to be a mini-fit challenge on this in a week or two!

Wish there was a Kanata in my size, and would've grabbed the XL Richmonds if they were available, but I managed to snag the striped Roomet shirt, the long-sleeve Pionta, and the Freeport vest.

Awesome deals. The fabric on the Roomet is so sick, hoping the sizing works out.

just pulled the trigger on the white cord goreckis, anyone got a pair of these and can speak on quality of them compared to the standard goreckis? i'm very excited to get them in hand

I have a pair of the forest green cord goreckis and love them. Everything that's great in the goreckis but with a nice cord material that's super soft. All things assuming they are the same.

thanks for the input! i was very tempted by the forest green as it's such a nice colour but already have a pair of koston greens so couldn't quite justify it

the sale email also said "We kindly ask that you keep this one on the low for 24 hours."

I have the exact one and love it. It's everything great about a gorecki but thicker material due to the cord. Not unbearably so but it's very obviously heftier and more solid if that makes sense. One of my favorite additions to the 18 east collection in recent memory along with the reversible jacket in the recent drop

Which is why I didn't mention what the code was.

And besides, that is the perfect way to ensure that excitement about the sale spreads, as 18East well know.

I wear them a bunch, especially around the house on cold days. My pair fits about one size bigger compared to the good ‘ol regular goreckis and haven’t really shrunk much at all in hot washes and dries. Maybe a little in length but that’s about it.

I went up 2 (I think? I normally wear a L/XL) as I like my sweaters on the looser side.

+1 These have become one of my favourite pairs of Goreckis. Lovely hand, and as Antonio says, white pants > other pants

 

[dalevy]

Picked them up too along with the brown khadi workshirt. Glad they fit a little longer and don’t shrink so much.

Ended up getting the pieces I've been wanting since they came out, the suit and the brown Kanata! Extremely happy. I'm hoping I got the right sizes.
