Deciding between the KS Gurkka and the Document Pajama shorts. For size 31 waist = 30 in KS and S in Document?

 

[gdl203]

32 and S?

@gdl203, thanks! I'll post some pics once it comes in.

How do the g. Inglese dress shirts fit?

Are they slim fit? Classic? Full?

thank you in advance

On the slimmer side of classic. No darts on anything silly like that, but the shape isn't too full

Need is sudden, wait out was an assumption about the time line. Would rather not if there's a way to apply the discount before the sale is up.

I think that we were able to fix the logic issue we had with SF10 and can enable it again for non-sale items. We'll monitor and if it fails again and allows code on sale items, we'll turn it back off again

Thanks Greg, I already placed an order last night, though. Any chance I could get an adjustment?

A closer look at all the fabrics from the summer tailoring capsule

Drapers Ascot 4-ply - has quite possibly become the gold standard for trousering in the bespoke world. Falls like iron, very open weave, low maintenance. Dramatically more pleasant and softer to wear than heavier fresco

Drapers Ascot 2-ply - a 250g (!) fabric that actually drapes. For those looking for a really lightweight fabric that doesn't turn into a hot mess, this is it. Does not fall quite as hard as fresco but exponentially softer.

Dugdale Irish linen in that just-right shade of tobacco brown

Drapers cotton gabardine in that classic beige shade. Every italian man I know has one of those suits. Easy to wear, to maintain. Travel buddy that can be worn separately for multiple outfits

Marling & Evans 50 wool 50 linen hopsack. Hard to find solid jacketing with a better texture and personality than that. Cream and beige sport coats are criminally underrated IMO, especially for warmer months. Throw a white shirt/polo under it, and you can wear that with pretty much any color trousers - and it will look smashing

Marling & Evans 50 wool 50 linen hopsack in a beautiful mix of blue yarns. A ton of personality, a soft hand but not nearly as warm as a fall flannel cloth. This could actually work well as a 3 or 4-season blue blazer IMO

Fox Air - last but not least, Fox was able to develop some really attractive jacketing patterns in its high-twist cloth (fresco-like, maybe a little harder even). I always liked the gunclubs in that book and @hpreston's MTM commission looked so good that I knew we had to carry it

This sport coat is so versatile. And the Fox Air fabric is amazing.

It looks great with mid grey khaki and stone trousers (like many sport coats)

I found it particularly smart with olive.

I'm hoping for some sizing advice on the Castaner espadrilles and penny-loafers. It seems like the general advice is TTS, but my tiny feet put me in a confusing zone for Euro sizing. If I generally take a 7 US, what should that translate to? Does sizing differ between the ordinary espadrilles and the penny-loafer models?

I did look at the size guide on Castaner's website but it makes no sense. It says that a 39 translates to a 6 US and a 6 UK, and 40 translates to a 7 US and 7 UK. Something is amiss there.

Probably 39

Awesome. Thanks for the speedy (albeit somewhat emasculating) advice.
