[TO Tie Guy]



Garand
First with hem rolled

Spoiler

Second and third no roll (too much break of course, but I thought people might like to see them without any adjustment. I'll probably wait a bit to get these hemmed to see how they wear after washing and whether I like rolling them or not). Also photo without sweater to show top block.

These feel like a really classic fatigue trouser to me, appropriate for the waistband style.

Washed twills are a good intro fabric for them. They should end up with some nice fading around the edges after a few washes.

Frank, if you don't mind me asking, what is your height/weight? How does the rise compare with Walt/Rivet?

Wondering if I could pull these off.

Don't mind at all.

A little over 6' and probably 180/185 lbs. Rise is just a little lower than Walts. Higher than Rivets and Driggs for sure. I think Mike said they are supposed to be in between Walts and the lower rise trousers/chinos. That's an accurate description based on a brief wear.

So, you'd only hem these and not taper the leg any, correct? Seems like Garand is great for wearing boots.

Nice color, too.

I thought I posted a reply but don't see it:

I like Ray's Custom Tailor, I think on Geneva in Mission/Bernal Heights. Cash only, but I like his work.

The Taylor Stitch guys seem to really like—I haven't used him—Roberto's Tailor at 110 Sutter.

Thanks, I checked out both on Yelp and they both have good and some bad reviews. I might have to check them out in person and see how I feel about them.

Yes, all I'll do is hem them if I feel like the need it ultimately (again, they are clearly too long without a roll now, but a wash might bring them in enough or I might like to wear them rolled...)

I'd likely pick one of Epaulet's other trousers if I wanted a narrower leg opening.

Just remember that with something like tailoring, there are so many variables that are tough to control, so yes, a woman bringing in a complicated dress 48 hrs before a wedding that's out of state...might not leave satisfied if she only gives a one-man op like Ray to do many alterations. On the other hand, my lady's dress was perfectly done a few weeks before an event we attended. My trousers for my suit ended up with the Mona Lisa of trouser breaks for the shoe I wanted to wear.

Ray is a one-man shop, but I like that. It also means he's perpetually backed up, BUT he stays open very late. Let me know your experiences either way.

Heirloom arrived today but after a loooong work day I'm too tired to try on just now.

I did however come to the realization that I have an obscene amount of EP gear. I don't mean that in a boastful dickhead way but as I pulled out all my fall/winter gear with my summer stuff still out I was like WTF this has become an addiction.

Can't decide what next but I'm excited by the moto jacket maybe. And I've yet to be swayed by the shell sneakers.

That is the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I tear threw all of my boxes like a kid at Christmas and throw the stuff right on!

I typically do too! But after a ****** long day I won't appreciate it as much and can't let work ruin my EP experiences

Yes but I still need a tweed suit.

Hell yes. 3 piece.

Your EP experience will make work forget about work real quick. Enjoy the sweater.

So what are these trainers in the model pics of the Reigning Champ sweats? They are intriguing.

Got my heirloom as well. Tried it on in 80 degree weather. Hopefully it gets cooler soon. It's a pretty awesome piece
