18 East

[Chaconne]

Picked up the recent Kell pants. Love the feel but unsure about the intended fit here. I’m a regular M and picked up the M. Don’t think I can size up or down. Waist is just right but inseam is a bit long. I’ve rolled and cuffed it and that seems ok. Question is should I just keep them rolled up like this or actually get them hemmed? Hemming might shorten the darts which might look weird?

I would say hem, but I always say hem since I think pants should only be rolled if you’re walking on the beach or through a swamp.
What’s the tee? Looks familiar.

I am not sure if there's difference between hemming and cuffing wrt to the darts. They are shortened either way. Having said that it looks fine cuffed.

Thanks. To me cuffing somewhat still has the narrowing effect vs hemming would take that away. Maybe I’m just seeing things 😆

Thanks. It’s Humanmade with the printed tiger in blazer. Quite Polo Ralph Lauren-ish

I would hem them. All that cuffing just looks like someone that is too lazy to get their pants hemmed…

@NickPollica i noticed the web photos of the Kell pants has drawstring in the waist but the one I got doesn’t. Was that just the sample photo? Not that I needed the drawstring, just curious

Nice one! I especially dig the shoes!

Great to see more pics, and I'm certainly guilty of not posting pics as much as I could. I changed jobs a while back and lost my spot, and haven't found a decent alternative yet.

I say wash and dry them first. Just dry them in increments (10-15 mins) so you don't mess them up. It should help with the drape and lose a little length.

You can always hem after that if needed. Hemming will likely widen the pant hem a little (due the darts) but should be fine.

Do not wash and dry wool pants unless you want them to fit your toddler.

I've always had good luck with it and have washed and dried most of my wool 18E pieces, but I'll defer to Antonio. I've always been cautious when I wash wool clothing though.

We had a customer try to return a Lamar coat they hot washed and dried because they thought it was a "little big." We did not take it back as it shrunk to comical proportions.

I’d pay to see a photo of that.

Not sure if anyone else faced this issue, but I received the tracks jacket from he previous release and it seems a lot more cropped and slim in the chest compared to the specs listed. It’s slightly more cropped than my Sam jacket but says it’s 3.5 inches longer in length

It’s hard to even zip up fully with just a tee shirt underneath and I went TTS…

Take measurements and see if it matches the posted ones. If it's off message customer service, I had an issue a few years ago and they said it was probably tagged the wrong size and made it right.
