It's in the size charts.

Which size chart? I found one for dress shirts, but Rick said these are casual /sport . Even if you go by the dress shirt size chart it shows the length for the shirt not sleeve length. @spiermackay

First you go here.

Then you go here.

Then look here.

And you'll see this.....

How is it recommended to finish the hems on the cotton dress trousers? Regular hem? Cuff?

Just received stone and dark brown. The fabric is somewhat medium weight. I would go with a plain hem and wear them as dressier chinos (with sportcoats etc.).

@spiermackay bumping this.

@spiermackay should we size up on the new polo's ? the long sleeve one i got from FW 2018 shrunk to unwearable after 2 washes.

You mean the one that went up one or two weeks ago? Yeah, I grabbed that one as well. Can't have to many navy sport coats. Planning on grabbing the Guabello as well as Rick said it'd be a midnight navy, which should be different enough to justify a purchase ?

I also grabbed the first of the hopsacks. Great jacket, the most recent posting seems a bit more casual. I want all of them.

Sucks to have to attempt to be practical and logical in buying these things. Which of these is more useful, which is more versatile. Blah blah.

Rick gave a detailed description of the new polos about a week ago, when they dropped.

What colors will cotton suits come in? And anymore Neo suits incoming (fabric, color)?

I would go plain hem. On the heavier casual ones, I go plain hem, leave em 5cm long and either cuff or roll em up.

S&M suit, shirt & shoes.

Not being a collar afficianado, is the difference between button down and Italian button down the later has a longer point length? If so, how does one choose? Does body type come into play or is it strictly preference?

Just FYI for everyone considering, the light brown fresco trousers are very grey'ish; so much so that I had to check the inner tag wondering if they had been hang tagged incorrectly. To my eye they aren't nearly as brown as the photos.

Preference IMO. If in doubt, go with standard.

can you post a photo?

Should we expect any cotton/linen or heavy linen dress trousers coming in?

Does anyone here have experience with both the C7 (Classic full spread) and C21 (large Italian full spread) collars? I went with the C7 in white poplin and it seems like the collar points are just a bit short of staying under the lapels. I like the test shirt otherwise, especially adding 2” to the length, so once it was washed, it still has sufficient length.
