Mocha and Stone color Rotas are calling my name. Grrrr

Do it now.

Thank me later.

That Rota-mocha brown color pant is EXACTLY what I need. Same goes for sand beige - unfortunately my size is sold out. No possibility of these colors/fabrics being made possible as a MTO choice?

 

[gdl203]

Unfortunately, garment dyed trousers are never available MTO or MTM. They're dyed in large batches and dying one pair at the time would be too expensive and also yield a different result (more washed look)

There are always several cotton swatches in the MTO options, just not garment dyed

Sorry to distract from the scantily clad pictures for a minute but here are a few (pretty bad) shots of the Lorenzo cut on me. I tried to show the chest swell on some pics but it's not easy to capture without a 3D view of things. Maybe that helps you guys understand what this cut looks like.

greg, that looks swell!

Thought I'd throw another Niche fit pic in here; cross-post from SW&D WAYWT:

Thanks for introducing me to Niche, NMWA

Usually some stretching in the knees, but mostly they just look to big (like you could size down atleast 2 sizes)

If the waist is to tight in that case I'd probably advise you to try some other model of jeans

Funny, they're size 31, and I'm generally a 34+. That's in part indicative of how much New Standards stretch. Also, I have chicken legs, pretty much top to bottom, which is also a factor. At my age I'm not going to be wearing skinny jeans so that's not an option. I do have a few other makes (NMWA Big John among them, just to keep things a bit on point). I'd be curious to get your take on them as an objective observer. Also if there are other models that might be appropriate for my body type (there are some brands I've become interested in through perusing SW&D).

This likely is not the proper venue for that, however. Perhaps a visit to SW&D is in order.

How sizes fit are always interesting to me. I'm a 52 in the Rotas and the waist generally need to be nipped a bit. I'm generally around a 34 in jeans. These are APC NS size 35 after about 2 years (I do an initial soak and then wash decently regularly to keep the fades a lower contrast). I guess the washing keeps them from stretching out of control.

Bonus shot of NMWA Schneider, Farnese, and Buttero.

2 years and barely fading. How? Just initial hot soak?

Looking good, Sotiris! I'm getting those Butteros the second they come back in stock.

If they ever do

I like these and the sand canvas with tan toe caps.

 

[unbelragazzo]

Wearing mine today too...

 

[in stitches]

Butteros. I need some.

Nothing special. I did an initial cold soak to set the dye. Have worn them several dozen times and wash them in the machine (on gentle) about as often as I would any other pair of jeans. They get worn to coach my son's baseball games as often as the get worn to the office, so keeping them clean is fairly important. I've done that with a few pairs of these and they all get the slow fade that way. I derived up my technique from NOBD several years back.

I will try here for a sizing question on the nice Camoshita Capri collared shirts: for a 38 - 39 shirt (relatively slim build) would you go for a 48 or a 50?

 

[DeSense]

^48 matches that best. 50 would be mine at 40/41cm shirts and 50 in suits.

Looks like the taupe suede low Butteros are still around in 42. Someone should jump on those.

Amen. I love mine. For reference I am TTS 9.5US, 8.5UK, 43 Eur. Butteros in 42 fit me well. Here they are:
