Actually I think the MJ ones might be between the Armoury and NMWA, might need to try that next

I have pair of Rota from MJ. High rise cigar linen summer pants. Not sure if there is any appreciable difference. Of note, wifey hates them on me and prefers regular rise pants with a belt.

Couldn't you also go with Rota MTM via NMWA?

From my recollection, the price of MTM w/ NMWA was similar or perhaps a little more cost-efficient than the Armoury. This is obviously ignoring the fact that you may prefer the cut of Armoury to NMWA.

The MTO combined with the SF10 discount at NMWA is a great deal.

The Japanese retailer just filed for bankruptcy in the U.S., but it sounds like it will be okay.

Is it MTO or MTM, I’m cheap I don’t buy 400 trouser, 200ish tops... So got to be on sale...

It’s MTO. You just pick a fabric and a size.

So doesn’t solve the slim leg problem, guess trying MJ then...

My Rota from MJ was NWT at Luxeswap so I was cutting corners too!

Sorry, I must be mistaken then. I thought you could make minor alterations (a la Inglese MTM) to a stock size, but I am wrong.

no worries, I haven't decide to pay $400+ for trouser yet...

I worn my navy cotton incotex to the ground (or more like completely frayed hem). No hard feeling because it was like $35 from Target...

now a day if fit is right I don’t really cars that much about construction on parts I can’t tell...

Where did you find incotex for $35...

2009~2010, remember EG for $350!!! Brand new RLPL/BC for $400 (though RLPL doesn't worth much either on secondary market these day either but that's different story)

I have worn through just about all my 2009 pants (just frayed edge really) just about now (all Incotex/Mabitex). There were people unloading Incotex on B&S at $45, so presumably they got at $20 at Target/Marshal/Century 21 etc then...

Daffy's back in the day

Daffy's closed all stores a few months after I moved to NYC.

I barely shopped there twice. I knew i missed something good.

I think this looks good for the brand... or at least the IP having a future.
