@spiermackay can you do an mto trouser with the same material as the new sportcoats?

Or would you consider doing a GMTO for the trousers of the grey herringbone? That can be me go-to fall/winter suit that I can wear when I go out.

Back to the trouser modification question, I second others opinion to have a bit more room in the hip and thigh, and maybe a tiny bit more rise as well. Note: I wear 33 Contemporary.

I also really like the idea of dressy cotton chino (and cotton linen and oxford cloth!) trousers, and matching cotton casual jackets.

New F/W jackets look nice - the brown gun check and the blue windowpane are excellent.

I'll speculate that the answer is "no", just based on the comment that there was a limited amount of fabric to work with, which is why certain sizes of sportcoats were not produced. It is a great idea, though.

One more customer who would add extra room in the thigh, and a higher rise.

I would also add room in the calf, but that might just be me....

We weren't able to get enough cloth this go. We used up everything we could get our hands on for the OTR production. That said, there are running fabrics with the mill, so I have to check to see if they became available again. If the fabric is back in stock, it would be possible. Any fabric in particular you are eyeballing?

I would consider it, but a GMTO can take 90-120 days, so pretty much out of the question for this season.

Rick, will you let us know when the jackets are in the downtown store - I think you were trying to move them mid week?

Quick thought on the box pleat thing from a few days back.

You could reduce the size of the pleat and that could possibly be a good compromise. I noticed today that your pleat is about 1/2" folded under on each side. In contrast my J Crew oxfords are roughly half that size at 1/4" folded under, this leads them to be more trim fitting in the back as the shirt doesn't flare open as much but visually changes very little. Just noticed so figured I would share.

Also, regarding the suit jackets. Would you consider a natural shoulder?

I'd be interested in natural shoulders as well and is the only thing holding me back from buying.
