Agreed, cropped is looking wild dumb on my 34" inseam daddy long legs.
Would 30.5" flight pants end up to short?


I think it would still be a little too short but I think the rise is higher on these so the 30.5 isn't as short as it sounds

Good call on sizing down with the Tencel Flight Pants. Perfect length, not loose, just right. 48 is what I wear in the denim. Only complaint is how wrinkled they were.

Tatras and Tarmac are different bombers.

I'm happy with my Tarmac sleeves relative to length. Tatras looks like it fits much shorter (too short?) in the sleeves.

The sleeves seemed great to me width-wise even on a size up and I have little girl arms.

I'm also wondering if any of the people who advocate sizing down on flight pants ever tried on two sizes side by side cause I'm not convinced 1 cm in length and width is making or breaking anything, I think it's all in your head. If you want slimmer pants then you should buy slimmer pants because sizing down doesn't make that much difference.

Melo, looks good. I got a black tencel bomber, so I let that one go. Any idea where a khaki 48 is!??

Anyone with a lead on a black/khaki tencel bomber in 46, please let me know.. used or new, anything is fine

Here's the FW13 tencel flight pants. I tried on 46/48, both fit the same. These are 46s, though I'm usually a 48 in Geller pants for what it's worth. Insanely comfortable

I love those Joseph shades. I have two pair. White and black.
White ones have started to stain somehow. Not sure how to clean em.

On an unrelated note, I lost a bid for a brown/purple fuzzy pair of Richard pants from a couple seasons ago that would match my blazer. :angry:


. . . so I bit the bullet and ordered flight pants from Nomad.
:slayer:

Copped the Tatras bomber at 70% off. Which means I'm now a member of the Tarmac and Tatras bomber club.

Tarmac is way better.

I dunno; the patch is really cool, but unless there's something I'm missing by not handling the garment, it seems like a really over-hyped piece. The Tatras bomber, however, was one of those things I was surprised went to such deep discount. Just a bold, in-your-face print that still somehow avoids being tacky. Maybe it is and my tastes just aren't all that great. :crazy:

Yeah, I mean, obviously I still like the Tatras. But Tarmac has a better cut, inside pocket, nicer details etc.

Agreed that the Tarmac price point is too high.

I'll keep both but wear the Tarmac more.
