Whats the consensus on the Guabello high-rise. I typically wear slims, are these cut slimmer than normal? Size guide looks the same other than the rise.

the shipping problems are beyond ridiculous
this is is simple commerce

Grabbed my flannel trousers. Think I will wait on the jacket. Not entirely sure I want the full suit yet.

Thankfully, 38L wasn’t made last year, so I don’t think this order can get messed up (I ordered last night, and it went OOS today, but I already have a tracking number), but it’s pretty irritating honestly. Even if the fit were fine and the color matched, the one this year is still $20 more expensive, so it’s not an even swap.

Actually last year’s flannel sport coats have been on sale for $299 CAD for a while now, vs the new Neo version at $428 CAD, so not even close.

This might be good news for me, as I prefer the non-Neo fit. Maybe they still have jackets kicking around in my size...

@SchachMundialECapital Interesting. Thanks for the info. I got the SS19 in 32, but they’re pretty roomy. I thought I might try the cords in a 31 while they’re available but this makes me think twice....

welp, hate to pile on, but...

I went ahead and ordered the 38L jacket for the gray today. When I got home I tried on the 38R again to see how bad the length was, and I noticed that it seemed like a different fit than I was used to with Neo. Then I noticed the two buttons. Same as you guys, apparently there’s still 2018 jackets floating around:

Have to agree on the covert trousers sizing. When i got them hemmed, and tried on without socks, the slimness is not evident. First wear with OTC socks today and it’s way too slim for compare to my other trousers in the same fit/size.

Last year's VBC navy flannel seems to be getting some surprise attention so here another one. Paired with VBC's houndstooth flannel trousers.

Any idea when the Balmacaan is shipping? Getting a little impatient after seeing it on Instagram.

I showed my tailor a picture- when I pick up my BG flannels and the pants from my peak lapel next week, I’m having the coverts hemmed and widened as much as I can.

Most definitely. Source: The size 28 chinos from FW19 fit like yoga pants in size 26. I popped the button off so many times...In contrast, everything else in size 28 fits very well.

This is aggravating. I got chinos in SS18 in 35 Contemporary that fit great, but then the FW18 the fit completely changed, where I needed a 36 Contemporary to be able to button the waist. Then the lightweight chinos for SS19 were back to the old fit. Now it sounds like the FW19 fit is changed yet again. Some consistency would seem to be in order.

 

[Superfluous]

It would be nice to see a side by side comparison of the Botto and VBC Grey flannels. Seems like VBC is lighter shade and with brown buttons.

I ordered both. If I remember I'll post pics.

Anyone pick up the parka yet? I am curious how it looks without the hood and thoughts on if the hand warmer pockets are way too high.

 

[VeritasAequitas]

Hello All! Does anyone have pics of the Navy core suit and/or the Drago brown Prince of Wales check suit in the wild? Thanks!

 

[MisterrLovely]

Saw this while scrolling through Instagram. Interesting to see this fabric in a different jacket style.

I don’t have the parka, but the handwarmer pocket height looks comparable to the ones on my Barbour Beaufort

Not a fan of the peak lapels on that one though, seems incongruous with the casual nature of the fabric. I think S&M knocked it out of the park on the Neo styling
