I picked up various sport shirts I hope don't come in wonky sizes. If not, I guess it will be good sewing practice.

Can someone tell me what "front rise from under belt" means from that seller's sizing descriptions? Looking at the surplus chinos for example. What is the measurement method?
Apparently it's common in Europe to measure the rise from underneath the height of the waistband. Probably safe to add about an inch generally, though it looks like a little more than that for the surplus chino.

Thanks. Do you know if he's measuring on the other end from the crotch seam or the lowest point of the pants when laid flat?

The shirts I've sourced from there have all been perfectly good with regards to size. I think you will be fine.

I'm finding it hard to keep the right balance between expanding my wardrobe with stuff I know I love, with saving some cash for upcoming drops.

I think it really helps to have a list of items you want / need (replacements, etc).

Picked up the black cord surplus chino as well as the Carhartt-inspired white pants off eBay. The latter is a bit outside my comfort zone but excited to give it a try.

You can't really call yourself an Antonio-era Eidos fan unless you own one of the limited edition lapel pin trophy's. They sent me one of these after I ordered my 100th Lupo:

Very excited, I just ordered from the ebay seller's sale, the navy Ragosta. I needed a new fall jacket and this will be perfect for a planned trip to northern Italy in the fall.

You snagged the medium? Was eying it for a while.
