Had vbc fresco in light brown in my cart with other colors. At checkout it’s out of stock. Hope more to come. So frustrating ?

Yeah, I’m just pulling the trigger on what I want this spring. Already ordered the neo hopsack, but I’ll wait for the other one before I rip any tags off. The idea of pants for it is appealing. Also grabbed that glen check linen and a couple more pairs of VBC fresco pants- if nothing else I really want comes out, I might grab the brown neo hopsack too but I’d like to see some pics of it in the wild. Cotton sounds cool.

@yungchomsky What brand are those jeans?

 

[stuffedsuperdud]

Very true. Besides, a cream linen jacket is a classic when it comes to menswear.

I hear ya, and actually have one, but I have a navy linen one that I find myself reaching for a lot more. A cream wool one though would be in its own category for me and see a lot of use in the warmer months.

Great look and impeccable tailoring. May I ask which pants those are? Is that the linen shirt?

Also general question - I suppose I would classify as having an athletic lower body (larger rear and thicker thighs). I have been buying 36 contemporary and having the waist taken in. I find that the width of the leg opening seems a bit big. Do you S&M regulars have the leg opening narrowed?

Thanks!

Those are the fresco from last season. And yes, the cotton/linen from lest season too.

Great look, do you mind me asking what shoes you are wearing?

Thanks! John Lobb Lopez

S&M burgundy oxford. I've had this shirt for a couple years now. Definitely a favorite of mine.

Very few companies make that heavy. Some Zanieri we use is already 680 gsm.

Bummer. That's why I was asking. It's hard to find anything above that nowadays.
Would there be any chance of a choarcoal/navy/camel single breasted coat in that weight?

Received khakis from my previous order. Size is right, got a slim fit in 33, usually a 32 but they fit fine, even if it shrinks a bit. (Do they?)
However, there is some bulging in the seat area... Seeing this is a slim fit already, what are my options, for slim people with no ass like me?
Also, received the Brisbane moss trousers moleskin in navy. Size 33. Love the feel and texture, but the contemporary fit is just ... So roomy. I feel like an old man wearing old man pants. It just falls straight and there is so much excess material the closer you get to the feet... I think it'll need to go back unfortunately, tried to love it... Even with sale and 20% off I can't justify 30-40$ of tailoring...

If the seat is too loose, you can get it taken in.

Curious to see pics of both though.

I hear you. I learned my lesson in the fall/winter collection. I see something I like, I buy !

Which "khakis" do you mean? I ask because I just sent back two pair of the new cotton dress trousers (in shades of khaki, as it happens) for exactly the same reason.

Since I have 2 paid of the new cotton trousers in bound, For the sake of example if I'm normally a 30 inch inseam, what length should I have them hemmed to in order to account for shrinking?

I don’t think there is any way to answer this. I always wash and dry them first before hemming them.

What exactly is the difference between khaki and stone dress trousers? Would really help with some real life pics.
