What's the deal with the high rise trousers? Are they available yet? Are there any pictures? Those measurements actually work for me, which is rare for OTR.

(I haven't been following this thread, so apologies if this has been covered.)

WHY can't you use these photos on the product pages for the items?? They are sooooo much better than the studio shots where you have absolutely zero background to actually accurately judge color, depth, and texture.

We took pics like this to use, but they didn't come out the way I wanted them to, so we're going to re-shoot them soon.

Also, damn, this linen rumples beautifully. I enjoy the contrast between the release of the iron-like drape of Fresco vs. Linen.

This would be a great fabric for a safari jacket ;)

Dam thats great! Is that the minis tobacco?
I'm gonna have a good cry if I get the old OOS email on that one!

Minnis fresco 33 contemp. Normally go for 34 so open to fit feedback. Seems a bit tight when I sit. Does the fresco stretch like wool?

The back rise being shorter definitely creates a better drape but sitting does pull them lower in the back

Doesn't look bad to me, but if it feels tight to you, it makes sense to size up

Sizing aside, the fabric is stellar! Also a bit lighter than appeared in the web site photos.
Sucks that it SO in my size in a day!

I'll probably be returning a pair of Minnis Fresco trousers in a 30 Contemporary. I'll find out for sure when i receive my suit this upcoming week.

But if anyone wants them before i return i can shoot them to you for what i paid plus $5 shipping. Last I checked they were sold out. Otherwise I'll just return.
