I am looking for dark navy or dark grey colors. Could you elaborate on a new model? How much padding if at all in shoulders? What would be the length of the jacket for Regular? Would the pants be low-waisted and how wide in a thigh and seat? I haven't had much luck with most garments made for US market, especially gigantic pants.

The new model likely won't be ready until spring of 2013. Trousers are going to be essentially the same as the current Benjamin Classico model - a trim European fit with a shorter rise. It is slimmer than most US branded garments that traditionally have a large and roomy fit. Here are a few pics of the new model as posted before. Padding is minimal. This is a 3 button that roles off the top button, so the top button and button hole are somewhat "hidden" from view. Note the sleeves are going to be tapered in a bit more for the production. The lapel hole is done by hand on this one. nod[1].gif

Looks very nice. I worry a bit that the gorge is too high--is this maybe just a perspective thing from the photos?
