interested in purchasing the balloon trousers now that I’m seeing the restock in the heavy cotton drill fabric in cream. Would anyone know what the fabric weight is?

Currently liking the J Crew giant chino and that’s around 8.4 oz/yd (around 290 gsm). Would like to know if the DBF ones are heavier

The fabric feels like it is about 11oz/375gsm

Super nice. How is it going with your beard/neck stubble? I'm just wondering for future reference. I recently had an issue with another, non-DBF knit that was mock neck and getting caught on my neck and so I need to wear a cotton collared shirt underneath to avoid constantly fraying the yarns all day. But I've also had tons of rollnecks that work just fine, so I know it can vary person to person, yarn to yarn.

Really hasn't been an issue for me, and my neck is very sensitive after shaving. I think the wool is just so soft as to not be an irritant - it also isn't that tight of a mock neck. Doesn't hug it like a turtleneck at all.

Here's a few photos of my Grandad coat on a recent trip. I think the lapels have rolled to different lengths in the one photo since it was too long to hang at the place I was staying. It's quite a large coat, but after wearing it for a bit now, I think I sized correctly (a size 50).

Size looks good :)

Shame you didn't get better weather in London 😟

I like how you are wearing the coat in a more casual fit. I usually wear mine a bit more dressed up.
