can anyone that has these tell me how these fit?

JIAN SINGLE PLEAT PANT - CADET BLUE HANDWOVEN WOOL

A proper pleated trouser cut from a handwoven wool twill that lands somewhere between blue and gray. Proudly made in India. Dry clean only. This garment runs roughly one size large but looks good that way. Marcello is 6' tall with a 32" waist and wears size XL. This is now final sale. We can...

I've had older single pleats in large that measured up to 38" in the waist, so I wanted to make sure the measurements on the site were accurate.

I don't know but I just bought a pair, plus the matching jacket, in the fantastic sale... stuff is going very fast, so I don't think you'll have long to make up your mind!

You're right. I just did the same. Too good to pass up!

I also bought a pair and sized up compared to past single pleats based on my experience with the ripstop version fitting smaller. My guess (hope) is they now fit more true to the measurement charts.

What size did you take in the ripstop that was too small, and how small was the waist (if you remember/measured)?

I also took the plunge on the suit, love the Ripstop version.

Hope people take this opportunity to try out the cludach waders- both the cord and and the khadi are so nice

You took an M in the ripstop single pleats, right? Do you have a sense on whether the waist is 16.5 across and/or if there is any wiggle room on that?

Did I miss something? When was the sale?

Got the khadi waders, been eyeing them since they dropped so the sale was a no brainer. Excited to try them out, the fabric looks great. Think I could've gone L or XL but I went XL since I can always shrink them a bit if needed.

Yes M. To me they don’t feel like the fit appreciably different from my other single pleats that were M from prior drops.

Here’s a pic I took of the size L ripstop on top of the size L linen single pleats, the two most recent versions at the time. The linen ones fit like previous single pleats where the size L measured more like a 36 as opposed the the chart saying 34. Ripstop ones measured more like a 34, in line with the chart. 18 East customer service said they had adjusted the fit so I’m basing my sizing choice now on that information.

Thanks guys! Sometimes waist size trips me up as I find myself most comfortable somewhere in between sizes.

Oof, I bought the wool suit yesterday at full price, kind of bummed to see it 50% off less than 24 hours later. I am hoping I can call and see if anyone can help, but technically they don't owe me anything so it would just be out of kindness.

If anyone is on the fence: I took a chance on the balloon pants and they blew me away, they're comfy and warm and the pockets are incredible, super functional and really cool design. I'm also wearing the heck out of the Biella coat and indigo khadi double knees, they fit great in my wardrobe and get a lot of use

Are the balloon pants as big/baggy as the name suggests? I thought it was interesting they advised TTS.

That’s interesting. Unless I somehow was sent a size M accidentally marked as a L, the ripstop pair fit noticeably smaller than older pairs IMO.

Now! Until Sunday, but I don't think stuff will last that long. The code was sent to all subscribers...
