Can anyone tell me what the weight on these pants is like? I need some summer weight pants for a job I'm starting next week, so I'm rather desperately searching given the time of year (it'll be 2 months before its fall in Houston). Thanks all http://www.epauletshop.com/servlet/the-1327/Slim-Walt-Trouser-Muted/Detail


Not sure about those specifically, but I'd definitely recommend any of the Super 120s. I wear them all summer in Dallas. The linens are phenomenal too.

Racing green canvas Walts bagging a little at the knees after a long day sitting at the office. Maybe a launder will tighten them back up a bit. I've got a pair of caramel Rivets and petrol Walts ready to go to the tailor - I hope he's open this weekend.

Have you ever done an olive rivet chino or is the fatigue canvas the closest to that color?


We do a dark olive moss duck canvas - that actually just came back into stock yesterday.

This is really great. Looks tough as hell too:

Rivet Chino Moss Duck Canvas: $150

Any restocks coming on the cordovan alden black wingtips? Or, if not, any equivalent items being planned?


Although we run quite a few shortwings, longwings, and Brixton boots with Alden, we don't typically do black - especially in cordovan. But I believe that Leather Soul runs something like that pretty frequently.

There was mention on here that some trouser fabrics can be made into jackets. Can someone please remind me of which ones?


Yes, both the Navy & Cocoa Herringbone Shetlands can be.

And we'll have our main trouser delivery in about 2-3 weeks. Nearly everything there could have a matching jacket made on demand.

Those are definitely on the heavier side. I'd also recommend either the Super 120's or the Wool-Cashmere dress pants (good god, that fabric is wonderful!) as a good starting point for a work trouser and a very wearable weight in Houston.

Awesome - outfit looks great. Dig the cat too!

And a cold wash should tighten the canvas pants right back up.

Has anyone experienced pocket-flaring with their trousers?


Significant pocket flaring is usually the sign that trousers are too tight in the waist. A little bit is alright, especially on thinner wool trousers (like the Super 120s) as they tend to break in with wear. But a lot of flaring means you'll want to let them out or move up to the next size.

Looks like my question got missed.

Are you guys able to do the Rudy cut in the staple Grey Super 120s wool?

As an aside - I have pocket flaring on my Rudy 120s in Navy, don't think it's the waist though - more of a big thigh issue. Never had a pair of trousers that didn't flair at the pockets.
