that pant sizing is not EU but FR right?

I think when Matches/SSENSE says FR they mean EU

 

[clee1982]

but that's not how typical EU pant size work though? Every brand who use EU size for pants has always been EU46 = US30 for me (at least intend to be, vanity size aside)

I agree hence why I said their conversions don't make much sense to me. Theres no difference between FR 40 and EU 40, both pairs will come with 40 on the tag.

I know FW23 hasn't even been teased yet but this post from 11 weeks ago is supposedly showing some stuff from SS24. Looks like they're doing denim jackets and flared jeans in a washed black/very dark blue (picture looks filtered so can't tell exactly). Also some white loafers and polka dot shirts(?) on the rack behind him. I believe this guy is a buyer/store owner in Japan - they carry a lot of complementary brands but I don't see anything from Husbands posted just yet:

Maybe a little - I hope they keep the high rises. IIRC Nicolas has praised Hedi Slimane's Dior and said they would like to do all types of men's basics in their house proportions. HS did this at Dior in 2004 so maybe taking a page from his book for the denim side of the brand?

I have a feeling they'll do like a glam rock inspired collection. Gabard has used Bowie as inspiration before but it's never been a sole focus of a collection.

Jacket proportions looks great.

Were you told if that means delays on MTO orders in process? I was told 4 months (including the factory vacation in August), when i placed my order in the beginning of June, so I'm hoping I'm in the final stretch of waiting

4 months in husband's time means 6 to 8 in real time...theyve had a lot of factory issues and are WAY behind in production. I had to wait 4 months just for the patern to be cut! I am lucky though as I am in Paris every 2 months, so I can go in and give them a hard time 😉. In all honesty anyone ordering MTM from them should expect a 6 month turnaround time.

Damn really? Is this everyone's experience?

I wouldn't expect "end of september" to be a hard deadline, but a 4 month delay sounds a bit ridiculous tbh.

I emailed them for an update a week and a half ago and was told they are still on track for end of september and that i would be updated if that changes. Considering end of september is in a few weeks and i haven't heard anything yet i would probably be pretty frustrated if that turned into a multiple month delay. Either way I'll choose to take their word for it for now

yeah man, I am friends (not in a sense that I am just a customer but actually hang out with them) with a few of the guys who work there and they gave me the 411. It's been a **** show and the factories they are working with are way over burdened and the communication between France and italy is a bit disorganized. So they are trying to come up with a solution but their time estimates are WAY off. Good luck and be patient there is nothing the guys in the shop can really do about lead times.

Yeah I get that. I really have nothing bad to say about my experience so far, so all good.

I just do hope they are completely upfront about potential delays, and I expected that they would know by now, but that might just be me being ignorant about how the process works on their end.

I'll try to brace myself for a worst case scenario though, so thank you for the heads up

I hope I’m wrong too. I know they are aware and are actively working on it, that said it’s not going to stop me from getting a few more pieces 😉😂

basically this is what Husbands told me. In addition it sounds like the factory making their suits accepted a large number of additional orders in the spring without Husbands’ knowledge so Husbands was also not initially aware of the backlog.

ok I definitely luck out, think mine was a month more than expected.
