We actually opted for the twill wool version of that jacket. Lookbook pics give a good sense of the shape and details

Looks great! Would you say these are TTS, and you're in your normal size Kyle?

Yes, TTS but boxy, and I'm wearing an S. The sleeves are a little short though, so if you have long arms then definitely go up a size. It will be boxy regardless.

Also want to bring special attention to this wool boucle hoodie. It captures what made that Blurhms wool fleece hoodie so special, but has a lot of nice details that are easy to overlook, like the collar design.

I haven’t had it done to those but my tailor did a similar operation on some SdC easy pants and he said it was easy. I too was worried the elastic might make it more complicated.

Question for DukeSilver, Alocin, or anyone else with experience: I have last year's version of the DBF cord easy pants (elasticated only in the back + a drawstring just like this season's). They fit absolutely perfect in the thighs and seat and just about everywhere else but the waist is too big, even with the drawstring. So, I need the waist taken in a couple inches.

The tailor I went to wrote me that she would move the waistband and create new internal holes for the drawstring, such that the elastic would remain (I think this means that she'd take from the non-elasticated part, and that the elasticated part would then cover more area around the waist--it wasn't entirely clear from her text). She says it'll cost 55-65 plus another 20 to shorten the hem.

Do you know what your tailor(s) did, does this sound right, should I get another opinion, etc etc. Thanks!
