I have a pair of 50/50 cotton/linen Donnanna trousers from shopthefinest and they are fantastic. They are however much slimmer than HY trousers, several inches in the thigh at least.

Here's a comparison with the some HY tropical wool trousers in mid grey AFTER (significant) alterations:

What would you like to know?

They have a curtain waistband with a v split at the back, zip fly, 3 button closure on the waist, pick stitching on the pockets and down the side seam. The linen also gives the fabric a nice texture when seen up close. They are very lightweight without being 'flimsy' if that makes sense.

They are quite slim fitting though - to the point wear I wouldn't want my pockets stuffed whilst sitting down with them. However, they're far from uncomfortable. If you're used to wearing slimmer fits they should be fine. I don't consider myself to have especially slim thighs and they are a good fit on me.

I'm going to be pulling my own trigger very soon. Does anyone know if I'll get hit by duties when shipping to London?

Depends how the stuff is shipped, By UPS with the full value declared, very likely. I have had better luck with FedEx and no-one ever complained to me about a package that was sent with USPS.

That's right.

Only 0.25" in the size 30 though.

On another note, I've order this jacket in a 38: http://www.shopthefinest.com/p-56507-borrelli-navy-blue-sportcoat-size-44-us-54-eu.aspx

I was considering getting a jacket made in minnis 0520 but this should (hopefully) fit the bill as a summer sportcoat at a significant saving...
