Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, pretty neat:

I don't see why it would be any different. I think the room-y sizing is here to stay (which is good, tbh).

The big complaint from last year was the length of the shirts and someone on SF mentioned that they've heard the feedback. Not sure if or when we'll see any changes though.

Totem has the 19th Century BD listed at 33" long for Size M. They also have the Painter Pant listed at 35" Waist for Size M. I'm really not sure who Daiki is designing for these days, but I must say the overly generous sizing makes me feel alienated from the brand.

My biggest beef with the sizing are the shirts and pants. I'm fine with roomy outerwear as it's perfect for layering.

Specials for Kafka. 8W cord cagoule shirt. There are also olive and navy HB.

Looking forward to what Bureau has for us this season. They usually get the good stuff.

Just looking at some of the new stuff on Kafka and did they change the pockets on the work shirts!? I like the new look but this is truly the end of an era if so....

That's a Kafka exclusive, so that's likely why the pockets are different.

Spoiler: Extra info

Stores often request 'exclusives' with popular brands so they have unique pieces to offer their customers. These exclusives usually involve slight variations to the design (i.e. different pockets) or using fabrics unavailable elsewhere.

That pocket configuration used to be called the "miner" workshirt. Shirts fit a little wider than the typical workshirt, but they also haven't had it as a model for a few years.

I'd anticipate we'll likely still see the big-yank cigarette pocket inspired work shirts

 

[InsulaTergum]

Thank god. Those pockets are the one constant in my life lol

They look nice though, reminds me of some of the workaday stuff.

Anyone know of any US stockists with wool serge bedfords?

 

[Komuga]

Really disappointed if those measurements are true.

DESIGNER'S TALK：DAIKI SUZUKI

New look on the highland parka this season.

 

[trancebepopulate]

"Talking about the collection as a whole, I adopt a fitted silhouette again, although roomy one was used for my past collections. The change is more obvious on our new jackets. Our signature Loiter Jacket and NB Jacket are now in a tighter silhouette to make them look like what Jazzmen used to wear."

I want to believe

inseams still too short dooooe

Will probably still pick up a HBT painter lol

NepenthesNY has some stuff up. Not much though and nothing we haven't seen at other stockists so far.

For Canadian retailers lost&found and Capsule have their first deliveries in. And Neighbour will have theirs online within a week

I picked up a pair of hbt painters. The pants this season seem to have around a 2 inch longer inseam compared to FW19 just by looking at the fatigue measurements
