It was, thanks a lot for the follow up! Really appreciate it!

On the pants, I would think the same thing, until I tried on the Oxford cloth chinos in 36s. I thought they would be on the big side, but were way small. I even compared to the measurement on the site, and they seemed off on the small side. Going to give it a shot on both Rudy pants and shoes. Thanks again!


The Oxford cloth Rivets ran smaller than most others....and, Rivets in general will be slimmer than the Rudy. I wear a size 33 Rudy and I had to size up all the way to 36 to get a good fit on the Oxford cloths (generally I wear a 34 in other Rivets). I had to get the waist taken in, but now they fit perfectly. Actually, the 36 Oxfords are still tighter in some areas compared to some of my 33 Rudy's.

SVB - congrats and great pics!

^Is it a reflection, or is the gemstone also a French blue hue?
The former. I guess our friend Stanley knows not to allow matchy-matchy-ness in his outfits

Quote: I'm pretty reliably a 34" in most brands - 33" in some. I'm 6'1'' 185lbs with a round Italian ass and upper legs made from 12 years of soccer and hockey and the best fit for me is to get the 36" Rudy's and then have the waist taken in about 1 1/2 inches. I've tried 34" Rudy's and 36" Walts on at the store and they're passable albeit a big snug, but the 36" Rudys are pretty perfect.

Looking good man! Is that an Ibanez Artist series you're playing?

Thank you, sir! It's actually an old Aria guitar. The dude that I was subletting my room from left it when he moved to Europe.

gotta say, multiple real life shots have warmed me to the blue oxford popover. Any chance it sees a restock?

I believe that we'll be running it again and in some other fabrics as well. It's really become my favorite shirt.

thanks guys!!
