Can we see some pics of the Manhattan?

Skip to the end to the part where we all show what we're wearing

Will there be restocks on the Aurlands loafers happening anytime?

In the fall

I did not try either and am frankly not a Rota customer so not sure if my input even matters, but I was initially interested in both. Ultimately I did not purchase because you already sell an item that fits that role (high rise, pleated, roomy upper w/ taper) well for me: the Monitaly Rider pants.

Obviously the Rota finish and dressy details are superior (from what I can tell in photographs) and the choice of fabrics materials is excellent (vs the Monitaly SS options of vancloth oxford or cotton linen - I have both) but I'm largely looking to wear these cuts with camp collar short sleeve shirts, linen polos or tunics, loafers, etc., and I felt that I was okay w/ a slightly more casual pant in the Rider at ~$100 less. If I didn't already have a few pairs of hopsack or fresco higher rise dress trousers , I may take a closer look at the dressy Rota Manhattan/Brooklyn options, but I do prefer a more classic design and silhouette w/ my sportcoats.

@gdl203 would a brooklyn cut make sense for corduroy when pairing with a tweed jacket and/or textured wool sweater? A double forward pleat, relaxed leg, 5cm cuff sort of a thing.

Yes I think so. With a sport coat, it would have an old school ivy vibe. Without a sport coat, it just looks like a nice relaxed trousers you'd see from a lot of Japanese brands.

I personally love the Manhatten, and will be picking up a few pairs in FW fabrics later this year. None of the current season fabrics spoke to me, but the cut looks amazing

Mmm... I think Manhattan is 21 cm on a sz 50 (and our normal belt loop style is 21 too now that I think of it). Brooklyn is 25

PEBKAC. I was looking at the leg opening for a 48. Virtusize says 20 cm for a size 50 Manhattan, so just 1 cm smaller than where my other Rotas get hemmed.

Keen to pick up a new hat - will Sublime be dropping soon?

Not soon. We haven't received anything yet

For those who did not try one yet:

• do you find the new shapes attractive or not for you?
• which speaks to you the most?
• what would make them better and a good candidate for you?

Thanks !

Haven’t tried them, but interested in the Manhattan. I have several pairs of the high rise version with and without pleats. I have to go up to 52 for the thigh room and bring in the waist. Curious to see if I can get away with a 50 Manhattan which may require almost no alternation or if I’d still need to go up for the intended fit.

Trying to get my weight down a bit first to give them a fair review since I’m currently pushing the limits of the pairs I have, without letting them out again.

No worries - thank you for the quick response

Manhattans and Brooklyns seem nice, but I am holding out for the Staten Islands.
