Sign me up for some linen 34's...

Just ordered myself a pair of tattersalls in 33. Yay! Looks like it was the last pair in that size. How easy would it be to let these out or take them in an inch?

Very easy. You should have about an inch and a half to work with either way.

Awesome choice. These are my second most worn pair of pants (behind the grey tweeds - also Epaulet).

Super easy. I took mine around to my mom and she altered them no worries (in at the waist, out at the calf, down at the hem).

Good to know. Thanks, guys! I don't think I'll have to let them out, but I may have to take them in a little. Of course, it's nice knowing it can go either way in case I end up eating a bit too much next Thanksgiving.

Heh - that's when I break out my Tom Ford trousers with the adjustable sides

Thank you! These are some of my all-time favorite pants. A local guy wears them constantly with Cigar Longwings, and it's unbelievable.

I'm totally jealous about that. My Mom's not altering jack.


And for the next Spring delivery, I've got all my swatches cut and ready. We'll do a post later on today about them. And I'm happy to announce that we'll soon offer the "Modified Walt Short."

What fabric(s) will you be using for the shorts?

 

[Epaulet]

Hey guys,

Okay, here's the swatch & production recap.

These Trousers are in work right now:
1. Restock of existing Charcoal Tropical Wool (Walt & Rudy)
2. Restock of existing Blue Chambray (Walt & Rudy)
3. Restock of existing Italian Gabardine (Walt & Rudy)

4. Indigo Linen (Walt Only)

These Shorts are in work right now:

1. Pastel Madras

2. Medium Grey Tropical Wool

3. Stone Italian Gabardine (just like the trousers we have now)
4. Grey/White Nassau Seersucker (just like the trousers we have now)


We're going to order these shortly:

Black Tropical Wool

Brown-Olive Tropical Wool

Pearl Grey Tropical Wool

I'm considering these fabrics. Let me know what you think

Navy/White Madras (probably shorts)

Ivory Seersucker (probably trousers)

Red/Blue/Yellow Madras (probably shorts)

Patchwork Multi Madras (probably trousers)

I had a pair of patchwork madras trousers once. I loved the look.

Everyone who saw me accused me of wearing pajama pants.

If you can make a pair of patchwork madras pants that can avoid this assumption by common folk, I would definitely give them a look. The slim fit alone might be enough to do it, so I'm thinking this is a genuine possibility.

The other 3 fabrics you're considering look good too, but likely wouldn't rank higher on my "want" list than most of the stuff you're already planning on offering. In other words, there's plenty of stuff that I already can't afford that I'd buy first.

^^ I'm into these two (for shorts and trousers, respectively). - Keith

Yes and yes.

Mike-
I remember you saying the shorts were going to have 7" inseam, is it possible that you would consider making them a bit longer say 9"?
