Heading out on the actual honeymoon tomorrow and will be out all next week so it looks like I will be missing this contest. That said, after the last two, I ought to sit this one out anyway. Perhaps I will post a late, non-qualifying, entry upon my return -- I don't want to make you guys miss out on a chance to bask in my full sartorial grandeur circa 2003. (7)

The cut hasn't changed at all. Since changing production to more of a trouser construction, the cut has stayed the same (minus the first delivery which was about a half inch small in the waist), but you can alter it easily. If you've bought chinos between this time last year and now, it will be exactly the same.

Bummed that we won't get a couple of signature theatrical pics, but have fun on your honeymoon!

Those boots are killer. And I fully support a picture of Chris in a 3XL Sean John suit...

In theory, I'd be a 30 in the rivet chinos based on the website measurements (my thigh measurement is about 22.5 inches). I've got a couple pairs of Incotex that are 30 and fit, but most of the time I end up sizing up to a 32 and having my tailor take in the waist (or, take in the waist and take out the seat -- another side effect of being an athlete).

What I really ought to do is get my ass in to the store, but I see a pair or two of pants that look like they might have low inventory, and want to get those locked down.

Pretty much all of the fabrics stay in the Rivet Chino lineup have little shrinkage. We usually recommend leaving about a half inch in length unless you wash them before hemming, as it's the only place they really shrink.

If you have a more athletic build and think the thigh might be pushing it, I would recommend sizing up to a 31 and having the waist taken in. Of course, if you order a size and need to exchange it, we have a generous return policy for forum members.

Hi all. Looking for a little bit of advice. Am very keen to start my Epaulet wardrobe with a pair (or possibly 2) of pants but not sure which to go with. I work in a hospital so wear chinos or flannels almost everyday, and tend to live in chinos and denim outside work. Would greatly appreciate any advice on where to start ? Was thinking of caramel duck canvas walts ? Or maybe some rivets ?

Also just wondering about returns from Ireland ? Does the SF rule still apply ? 

Cheers guys !

I don't have the caramel ducks to make a comparison, but I have a pair of the Desert ducks and they're definitely pretty stiff. I've already worn them twice (washed once) and I'd definitely define the texture as coarse.

My Caramel Duck Canvas Rivets came in today and fit and fabric is exactly what I was hoping for. I'm a little concerned about the color...like I mentioned, I wear blue jeans almost exclusively and want to incorporate chinos into my wardrobe. I know a lot of you mentioned caramel being one of your favorite colors as it was so versatile, am I just a newbie who doesn't know complementary colors? Really want to shy away from the traditional khaki color. Maybe it's because most of my shirts are flannels and plaid, perhaps I should look into some more solid or simple patterns (I'm a Portlander who lives in Seattle...the dream of the 90s is alive)

Once spring rolls around, I'll likely grab a pair of white canvas shoes to pair with them, but are my rust colored Wolverine 1K's and dark brown Sperry's fair game, too?

Appreciate any help for the new guy!
