On the new Rotas. I haven't had time this semester to think about them and was hoping for a full on comparison of the new models with old. If purchasers of the new models would post pics comparing to the old Rotas, that would be cool

I was thinking of getting some linen Rotas made in the higher rise option MTM, but having the leg done a bit fuller then my MTMs and the standard 48 in higher rise. That might be either the Manhattan or Brooklyn, Greg?

I like the single forward pleat configuration of the Manhattan. I guess I'd like the option to cuff so having it unhemmed would be desirable. I was also surprised that both have belt loops. Would love a higher rise without belt loops.

I want to swing by and try both of the new Rotas. Both are interesting, and I appreciate the added room. I love the Rotas I've gotten over the years but always need alterations to take a size up in or let out my typical size. By the time I'm done, I'd have been better off going MTM.

I picked up the taupe grey fresco manhattans and really like them. I intend to wear with camp collar shirts, polos, or lightweight knits and slip-on shoes this summer when going smart casual out to dinner or something like that. I appreciated them already being hemmed, it works well for me at 6’. If you will indulge me on the Rota feedback you didn’t ask for, my one wish would be for you to open up the top block on your standard pattern models to be a little less slim in the thighs and hips/seat. Thanks!

Well, this is why we expanded the cuts to include roomier ones. The slimmer styles have their fans and we have other styles for people who prefer or need a roomier block.

I'm not sure we want to replace the standard style, but rather add to it.

In a new episode of "Kuon: why are you sleeping on this?", the reinvented guayabera they put out this season is in my top 5 of all the stuff we've received this season so far. It is so damn cool. So why are y'all sleeping on that one?

Does anyone have the link for the darker cord DBF easy shorts? I want to sign up for restocks but can’t seem to find it.
