That's the one. The person I spoke to said it was unlikely that it would be part of the men's line. Women's might work as an all gender option, but it is tough to say until seeing measurements...
thats disappointing to hear. womens version might work but in past seasons when i've tried there's a slightly more fitted/ less columnar shape.

They do look very nice. I’ve wanted a pair of black sneakers like these, or the previous seasons gtx, for several years, but being a size UK10 (EU 44.5 in sneakers) I’m starting to think I’ll have to find something other than these Mizuno collabs. Anyone have suggestions?

Speaking of sizes and their weirdness: I got the MHL sandals, which are surprisingly nice, but very small sizes. 11 are just about big enough, after a bit of break in.

Hi, by the way.

Also, did anyone here get a pair of the mainline drawstring trousers (or similar iteration from previous years)? Was wondering how they are, hard to get a feel from the photos.

I have a pair of the slant pocket trousers in heavy linen from mainline.
They're great.
Straight leg and long inseam but the linen lets them pool pretty pleasingly and is heavy enough to hold a cuff too.

That’s very helpful, thanks! Considering getting a pair.
Do you size them the same as other trousers?

Looking to move my mainline Linen raglan sweater. It’s a beautiful piece but it hasn’t seen much wear (probably 3-4 times) so I figured I’d see if someone else would give it more love.

I believe it retailed around $550, looking for $175 shipped in US/Can.

Measures- 24” PTP & 30” in length, but I would say it fits oversized large/ XL as it’s pretty stretchy due to the knit.

Lookbooks in Japan have been up for a little while already.

I very much like that they make one lookbook. To my eyes, most of what’s interesting in a lookbook doesn’t benefit much from being gendered. Cut, however, I have to admit often does, and I have noticed that when clothes migrate between categories, it’s always from “men’s” to “women’s”.

Speaking of which, does anyone know whether there’ll be a men’s version of the lovely MHL indigo outfit(s) that just released for women? I’d get a lot of wear out of a jacket and matching trousers just like that.

I did visit Wigmore St. last week but didn't look at the Railway Mac, not sure if they had one in and didn't have time to visit MHL. Went to the Sample Sale on Tuesday, now at new smaller venue, menswear was very thin on the ground in terms of quantity and sizes . I managed to pick up a few pieces but it was a struggle finding stuff, not sure if I'd go again (I've been a regular for over 10 years). They didn't have a Sample Sale in the Spring due to lack of past-season stock – a direct result of the opening of Margaret St..
