I am seriously contemplating the red cords. I need to decide between cords or chinos.

I was thinking about the fit of the red cords. Will they fit like the wool charcoal flannels, slighty slimmer than the moleskins? Or slightly less slim like the moleskins?

I'd say that all the new fabrics will fit like the charcoal flannel. The Moleskin was so thick that it's a bit of an anomaly.

For the Italian Gabardine cotton fabric, we'll have that in both the Walt and the Rudy fit. The specialty deadstock fabrics will only be made into Walts.

And holy ****, I can't wait to see the red cords. Anxiously waiting for Tuesday to arrive!

That's right! Once I have the new trousers in hand I'll be e-mail everyone who reserved a pair. Can't wait for these.

Sure thing - the Walt is an old-school 60's style slim fit with a medium rise. the Rudy fit has a similar waist and rise but offers more room in the seat and thighs - and a bit more in the calf.

It's designed for two things:

1. Guys with muscular legs who need more room in their trousers but still want a slim tailored fit. If you find jeans like the APC New Standard, N&F Weird Guy, KMW 2010 to be too tight, then this is probably the cut for you. If you're really into Crossfit, olympic lifting, or a TON of bicycling, then this will be your dream trouser.

2. Guys with thinner legs who want a slightly looser pant for comfort or a more classic fit.

We'll have a few Rudy pants to choose from, and I'll post a full suite of measurements for them. It's still not a loose pant by any means, and is WAY more tailored than most things that you'll find at Brooks Bros, Jos. A. Bank, even J.Crew. I haven't seen a trouser on the market at all that's cut like it. I havent' been able to put it online because it sold so quickly in the past two deliveries. But we've got good stock for this week's update, and a lot more planned in the future.

Just got them in!

Holy god, the Walt deadstock trousers are even better than I had hoped. I'm going to shoot pics tomorrow and work to get them online ASAP.

And we've got three four Rudy's to choose from: Italian Gabardine Cotton, Tan Moleskin, Navy Moleskin and Charcoal Wool Flannel. Going online as well!

Sorry, couldn't wait - here's a grainy-ass cell phone shot:

It's shrouded in shadow, but the black windopane is so dope. It's almost illegally old-school.
