    https://www.mrporter.com/en-us/mens/product/stoffa/clothing/casual-trousers/slim-fit-straight-leg-linen-drawstring-trousers/1647597303531985 Still available in 48 and a few other sizes. I really like the drawstring trousers and have this one (navy) in hand. You can get it close to half off of...

    Here's the beige linen. To fit the waist you have to pull the fabric front and back to the sides (you can see the bunching clearest in the wool drawstring trousers that is in the gallery and indeed, in the stock photos at Stoffa on all the models...they are all wearing EU50 though varying is...

    Got my hands on one of these on the discount. It's quite nice. Although I tried the stock 50 in the Mercer St. studio (there's a photo of a pair of wool drawstring trousers in the gallery), true to size works better imo...

    The Anderson & Sheppard Expatriates Thread

    A few pics of my semi-bespoke trousers which I was able to get done while I was in NYC for a few months, happily coinciding with Steed's NYC visit. As I learned, semi-bespoke is done completely in house. Edwin cut this pair. For semi-bespoke, there's no second fitting and the trousers are...

    Apologies. I only just saw this. I’m told that the new store will be three times the size of the old space. I think that’s a good sign for the company but also, I fear, a ticking clock for Stoffa remaining in my price range. The black basketweave is excellent. Inky, textured. Sport trouser...

    Heading over to Stoffa today. Will see if I can snap a pick of the black basketweave.

    Best Cobbler in NY?

    Just to report that I have had good work done at Cesar's Shoe Repair in the West Village on 7th. The put a danite sole on a pair of Carminas. Made sure to try to match the colors (i.e. ordered a dark brown danite sole for me, took a week then). Good stitching, cork replaced, shoes conditioned...

    I have taupe and indigo both of which are great. They don't have much right now in stock for MTO, not sure why. Not convinced by the butter, too yellow. The green, maybe. I like white/ivory in principle, but I never wear it. But the black seems interesting...

    Has anyone tried the black basket weave for trousers or anything else?

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Saw Steed today in NYC and updating the fabric. Chose Fox Air for odd trousers in a darker brown, I believe this one (they had an older book with different numbering scheme): https://foxflannel.com/products/melange-dark-walnut-plain-weave?_pos=1&_sid=07b4b360f&_ss=r A lot of nice browns in Fox...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Looking for mid-brown lighter wait cloth for odd trousers. H&S Crispaire has been suggested to me (I believe I have it made up in mid/light gray and quite like it for hot summer days). So, Crispaire is the default but I wonder if there's a heavier cloth that remains airy. Wool ideal but mixes...

    Any suggestions on sizing for the RTW drawstring trousers? Go with regular size?

    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

    Google searching locates two that seem promising Cesar's Shoe Repair and Hector's Shoe Repair in the West Village. From the pictures of the repaired soles, looks like good work. Any experiences with those shops or other suggestions?

    **The Official Shoe Care Thread: Tutorials, Photos, etc.**

    Sorry folks, I've not been in this thread in a while so apologies for what is likely a repeat question. For NYC folks, could you give a recommendation for some cobblers in Manhattan who will do a proper goodyear re-welt with dainite sole (and approximate cost)?

    The Anderson & Sheppard Expatriates Thread

    I'm going to try the semi-bespoke option with Steed when I see them in October in NYC. Suggestions for a good mid brown spring/summer cloth wool cloth for odd trousers? Something that drapes well but is airy?

    Well I think it's still reasonable all things considered but the increase means that Staffa is not my first choice for trousers anymore...

    Did trouser prices go up again slightly, or am I misremembering earlier pricing? I think the basketweave cotton has gone up $50.
