I have their trousers as part of a suit. I was happy with them. I got them unfinished at the hem for the local alterations man to hem to the length my wife had pinned.

I had them measure me in person, although, I didn't give them a pair of trousers to copy the pattern from, so they used their own. If you're new to ordering tweed trousers, be warned that the thickness of the fabric has a bit of an impact upon their fit in the waist. I ordered a 30 waist because I like my trousers baggy in the Skye fabric. (I'm really a 28) and the trousers ended up fitting perfectly rather than baggy which was fine, but just remember to leave a little bit of room.

just received two pairs of trousers they made for me this week based on their MTM pattern (which I really like). really impressed with the fit, finish etc. I agree with the comments from other members that their natural style is fairly "tight fitting" (due to the thickness of the fabric) and you may want to add a bit to the waist measurement if you like a looser fit. I have been very happy with their work.

I ordered a red moleskins last year and in january a pair of mid grey flannel trousers, both with my own measurements. Even though, it took some time to get them finished, I'm absolutely satisfied with the quality. BTW, I made the same experience with the waist fittings as Marcellionheart.
