I was thinking about heavy cargo pants for winter outdoor use.

I get the diagonal lines, too. I think they are an imbalance between the pecs and the seat: the seat pulls back the fabric, and the first thing it catches on is the chest. Does it go away when you tilt your seat forward? It's possible that could be fixed with additional fabric in the hips, but make sure to add it to the back. Otherwise, shoulders and waist look OK to me, if you really wanted to make a change, I'd only try +1-2 cm on either. The blue shirt yolk looks better, is it larger?

Good eye! Yes, I asked for 0.25 smaller shoulder measurement for the white shirt, and the yoke is 0.25 inches smaller too. But I'm thinking just the smaller yoke is enough.

Now that you mention it, wider hip measurement does seem to alleviate the diagonal lines, though not completely. I can see it in some of my earlier shirts that have wider hip-measurements. I think there will always be some lines, especially if your posture is erect.

Anyone been able to wear their shishiko jacket?

I've washed mine 4 times and it still bleeds on my clothes.

How badly does it bleed? Is yours lined? Don't want all of my shirts and trousers to be blue. I guess you can only wear it with denim trousers and shirts then, like a Canadian tuxedo?

I need some fit advice to fix the fabric bunching up around the knees on my Luxire trousers. I have athletic thighs so I like a more relaxed fit in the thighs and rear, but I also like a more aggressive fit in the ankles/leg openings. Any suggestions? Should I reduce the measurements near the knees or is this just the result such extreme tapering? Thanks

A less aggressive taper might help a little, but it's probably just a result of sitting down for long periods and the fact that they're cotton.

They have a Minnis Fresco in a "Sand" color



I've been fence-sitting too long on getting a pair made from that.

^ I think I need that next.

I've been considering it too, but I'd prefer to have it in the lighter, 8/9 oz weave, which is softer and better for real heat. Minnis is usually open to producing special runs. I wonder if we'd have enough people to do one for this. Would you guys rather have it as is, 10 oz 3 ply, or would you be willing to try to get Minnis to weave the lighter one? Should be possible to get it done and made into pants before the start of the summer next year.

Walk around for a bit, it should go away. This tends to happen if you're sitting for hours and then stand up

+1. My guess is that a different fabric (e.g. wool) that's a bit heavier will drape better. I'd be hesitant to reduce the inseam any further unless you're going for the aggressive no break look.

For fabric that are of lighter weight (e.g. 8 ounce wool), I request for hidden buttons for my cuffs to add weight that provides cleaner lines.

Clearly, you've got more experience than I. But, as someone who shares interest in beating the heat (I'm in in the ridiculously warm/humid central Florida), is there really that much difference from Luxire's listed 9oz10oz (280g310g) to your suggested 8/9oz? I've read that the bigger factor in heat dissipation for a given fabric at marginal weight difference is the weave, and fresco is woven specifically to be breathable, no? I'm not saying lighter weight won't be better, but is a special run to get an oz off really worth it?

I'm not jousting, I'm asking

I've washed mine 4 times and it still bleeds on my clothes. 

I've worn mine once so far - with a black t-shirt and jeans anticipating some dye loss and indeed I shed indigo all night long. It got everywhere. I washed my hands at the end of the night and couldn't believe how much dye was on my fingertips.

I am scared to wear it again. I was a bit afraid to wash it too - for the health of the garment itself but also for the next few loads. Now it seems that even washing wouldn't help.

Literally, I am afraid to hang it in my closet without a bag over it.

Might a dye fixative work well enough to offset the hassle of the process itself?

It's a great piece and an incredibly cool fabric, but in its current state, it's a bit useless to me outside of being a piece of art.

Interesting observation. I actually was sitting for all day for about 9 hours before I took this shot. I guess that explains it thank you.

And thank you @venividivicibj and @LoKey
