Curious to hear from Mike or Matt how you view the difference between the LBM fit and the Napoli? Comparing Navy Duck w/ the new navy LBM...

I tried on both when I bought the LBM...Napoli in Navy Duck is longer in the body and overall a touch more structured. The LBM is light as a feather and the cotton is washed so its uber soft. The Navy duck I assume breaks in after wear.

Damn, the new gear looks GREAT! Hopefully I'll be grabbing the POW Plaid and Ticking Stripe, they're boss. Scarves look awesome as well and damn, more LBM.

Hmmm... very tempted by the ticking strip myself. Description says "robust." I wonder what weight the fabric is. Maybe you can report on this if you have a chance (or already have had a chance) to see them NYI.

I'll post tomorrow after I check em out. They remind me of these old RRL Railroad Stripe jeans I had in college.

Harris Tweed Walts and Navy Shell Double Monk MTO 

 

As much as I love these pants, I'm looking forward to reaching for some linen instead.

I'm kind of pissed I didn't jump on one of the navy shell MTOs.

I wear 29 in APC NS jean. Walt was ok in 30 but had to extend a waist just a bit to reduce horzontal creasing / pull in the waist.

Ordered a bunch of 30s in RIvet Chinos, some of them duck canvas and other's 8oz. All of them had to be extended to the max in waist area. Interestingly enough, after few washes I would say ducks fit me perfectly, whereas 8oz shrinked a bit or i'm just thinking they are uncomfortably tight.. i.e. probably ok for summer with t-shirt as super slim chinos, but I would prefer more space for wearing with boots / heavy outerwear.

Ordered 31 Rivets in gunmetal. They still need extra inch in waist, but much more comfortable overall.. I'm thinking now about going to 32 in tan twill... Should snag quickly since there are only few pairs left - feedback on Windsor tan brushed twill anyone ?

Could post pics later...
