I like how Adidas look but I can't seem to get a good fit. Bought the Rod Lavers in my actual size and they pinched. Bought the Chile '62 soccer ('football') shoe in my size and it ended up doing the same thing. They seem on the SLIGHLTY small side of my actual size -- just enough to be annoying after a while. Half size larger looks & feels ridiculously large on me. Stan Smiths may be TTS but I'm not 100% sure. (...Is this shoe the Stan Smith? appears to be)

Hope you're joking and you really know who Rod Laver is....

Yeah, the Bowery "classic" is plenty slim for me, and I'm a slim dude -- so you might not find them to your liking (let alone the even slimmer Bowery "urban slim" which I may try for non-work).

But hey, if those broken in chinos fit, and don't break the bank & don't break the dress code where you are, then maybe you should consider a pair.

They're also watching the Alden thread.

Go to a store and use the Red Phone. Ask them to do a store search -- you might get lucky.

If you scroll back through the posts you'll see somebody very recently claims to have done just that.

With Adidas casuals, I size up a full size from my dress shoe size since they're usually narrow.

So, the assumption is that this is worth reading? : - )

Just picked up the Bowery pants in the oxford material. Really like the fit and fabric. Looks and feels like lightweight linen but hoping they have a bit more durability and wrinkle-resistance. I think they go perfect paired with any of the madras shirts, both with lightweight but textured.

Couple of new colors in the lightweight shirts were in store. The tundra plaid I thought was pretty blegh. It's listed as pomegranate online but it's more like orange. There's also a blue-grey plaid that sort of looks like the coastal plaid but replace the white areas with grey, with few bits of muted yellow striping. It was intriguing but I resisted for now. The dossier tattersall was also avail with light red and blue striping. Thought that was a fun shirt but I've bought too many red and pink-hued shirts lately. Red chambray, pink and blue madras. Solid faded black lightweight shirt with point collar. It'd different than the utility shirt. I did pick this one up as well as the olive color. At the SCP store there's a whole bunch of the olive ones on the sale rack for $30.

Is that oxford similar to oxford shirt cloth?

Yah...for me the regular fit is pretty slim....theres no way my legs would even fit in classic fit thats why my options are a little more myself.

Opinion on the light weight essex pants? I ended up grabbing those (which were a little more than the broken-in chinos)? Breaking the bank is not a concern as long as the pants quality/fit matches the price. Again thanks!

Almost want to say it's lighter than the oxford shirts, yet not heavily washed or distressed at all to get it that way. Definitely felt different than the other bowery pants. I like the look of the glen plaid one but its more of a thin poplin which looks like it'll wrinkle like hell and look terrible if not ironed. The oxford on the other hand feels more durable yet very lightweight.

I've found the bowery pants to be very bad at resisting wrinkles; they need ironing after being taken out of the dryer every time.
