Pretty much, I fit the Sashiko Kamigata about the same as my chambray one I have. Of course the Sashiko will have a little bit more stretch which is nice.
I think this was the same fabric I had on the curtains in my bedroom when I was a kid!

Eva - my tailor who I've been using for years (has made a few custom trousers for me too) is telling me that he can't alter the waist on rivet chinos without taking the whole piece off and sewing it back on bc of its structure. Is there another way that you've seen it done or has anyone on here taken in the waist on their rivets that have the unlined waistband?
Got it, thanks.Hmmm, well we moved away from the split waistband a few years ago on the chinos. The Sashiko ones also have a flat seam in the back so there's no... blowouts... to speak of.
It should be relatively easy to take them in at the waist though. It's the same process for a pair of jeans. It's just a bit more permanent than altering a dress pant would be.

Okay guys, I'm super excited for this!
Today I'm launching seven vintage M65 jackets. Matt Smith (Rebels and Rogues) sourced the garments and kept an eye out for ones with good proportions that would fit how we want them to. The coats date from the 1970s and were made here in the States by Alpha Industries.
We dipped all of them four times into a reactive indigo dye bath. The result is freaking awesome! The shell fabric takes the dye with horizontal striations.. and the color is a subdued navy. Patches and other details got totally dyed out. There's just nothing like it at all!
Sizing is individual for these, and we're going to have the following (approximate) sizes available:
38R (This one is already online and available)
36R
40R
40L
42R
44R
44S
These jackets are an easy fit, so the sizing will work for someone who's a bit off from that exact number too.
i hate the whole 'inject it into my veins' trope but it makes sense here, to me: these all look so good. you're translating the original (s m l short tall etc) sizing to your house sizing for the listings, right, so that a 40 ep jacket (doyle?) equals a 40 in these?
