Wore the jade turquoise rivets today for the film first time, and they ripped at the crotch when I sat down. 1 inch tear at the seam

Not having good luck recently

A client sent in this great fit pic of an RTC sportcoat in action. This was a Loro Piana promo cloth from the Spring.

It’s an ace match to that GMT!

Last year there was talk of a 70s style trouser fit through RTC, are there still plans of making this available? Been looking everywhere for something like this in a dark brown tropical wool

Oooh. I second this.
Hey guys! So I didn't formally make a new model, but we can definitely put together an MTM fit. I'd love to work on this with you. When I was considering the 70's fit, I had something like this in mind...

We can make this with a simple set of measurements. It's just front rise, back rise, thigh, knee, and opening.

RTC is no longer offering 15% off the factory finds assortment, but I tell you what.. if you want to do one of those in a 70s fit, then I'll take the 15% out of my end. This would be an epic fit for the whisper soft flannels!

Just want to tell you guys.. me and @ppk worked all of this out, and we're doing a custom pair of trousers for him in this rad fabric below. Can't wait to see it!

SO MUCH STUFF GOING ON RIGHT NOW!

We're launching the new Alpaca collection in a few days, DCBD shirts start shipping and open stock goes live tomorrow, and I'm in NYC next weekend for a trunk show at Alfargo's Marketplace (25th & Madison).

I owe you guys details on all of this stuff, but for the moment, we're shipping out the two customs in Harris Tweed Pink Melange. I can't love this colorway any more than I do.

Excitedly waiting on the DCBDs. Please let us know when they’re available

hello, do you guys actually answer emails? ive sent several about multiple orders and they gone unanswered for a week or more.

Hey guys!

Feel free to email me directly anytime [email protected]

Or, even better, you can use the chat function on the website. The messages go through to my phone and the chats are archived. So often I can answer in real time.

DCBD's are here.. we're packing them as I speak, with about half of them going out today. The balance will get packed and shipped over the weekend.

are these new rivets the new, tighter fit, or the older one?
Oh thanks for asking, this is going to be a new, optimized fit. The leg is going to be a bit larger, particularly after the knee, as reflected in the online measurements.

The rear pockets are going to move up a bit to make the pocket bags about 1" deeper and give them more space. The waist and top block will stay the same in sizing, but we're going to add some fusing to the top band to make it sit better.

There's no need to change sizing for most customers, but if anyone found the leg to be a bit too slim.. particularly at the cuff, then I think you'll really like these tweaks.
