@NickPollica Just a heads up, the Clareditch shirt in black/indigo plaid seems to be missing from the 'wovens' page of the website, and only shows up through the search function. Might be something you want to fix.

Why is it so hard to find a decent pair of dark/chocolate brown pants? Anyone got any recommendations along the lines of the single pleats?

Edit: obviously the Goreckis and Double Knees slay, but specifically looking for a more tapered/relaxed silhouette

I feel you! I love chocolate brown pants as they pair so well with almost anything. I’m lucky I have a pair of brown Namdak’s and recently picked up a pair of Gramicci’s in a very similar chocolate color that fill that need for me.

Both of those are a flat front though, but alternately you could look for vintage Ralph Lauren pleated pants.

"Ralph Lauren Andrew corduroy" is an ebay search term I'd look at.

Double pleated baggy old man pants from the 90's. There's been some discussion about them in the random fashion thoughts thread.

Some people dislike the cut, I love it.

Thanks man! I’ve been contemplating the Gramiccis…might pull the trigger on your recommendation. It‘s a totally underrated colour…so many beige and khakis out there, but hardly ever the darker browns

The RL Hammond's are nice too

They’re honestly one of my favorite pants. I wear the loose tapered because they’re shorter and the perfect inseam for me but as far as I know the regular gramicci pant fits pretty similar. Earth studies also has a brown pant, but gramicci is hard to beat for the price.

Wasn't aware of these ones, I dig how they look.

How are they cut?

With Andrew pants, I find the cut is either:

1) Very full seat and thighs, gradually tapering to the hem.

or

2) Very full seat and thighs, narrowing slightly to the knees, and tapering out again toward the hem (vaguely flare pants).

I have the loose tapered in a dark cord and they're my favourites. Regular G pants are a bit less wide-to-tapered and a bit longer in the inseam but still fit so well.

I haven't worn 'em myself because I'm scouting for a deal on 'em right now but my impression of them is they're not super tapered and are more of a straight fit

Not exactly “chocolate” but I just picked these up

Pleated chinos in churrow brown cotton linen

"Two pleats, a full cut, and a broken in cotton/linen twill mean these are the kind of pants you really just want to wear day in and day out and run to the ground this summer. Luckily, that's what Wythe designer Peter Middleton had in mind, so take his word for it and live in them." --- Kyle...

Anyone here that picked up Shelter pants that can post a fit?

I like them quite a bit, but at TTS they are certainly more slim than most other 18E offerings (but not skinny slim). I went TTS and like them a lot for casual office vibes.

Anyone that has the new single pleats, is the hem measurement accurate? Seems to be slightly more tapered than earlier versions
