Seconded. I would be interested in the Donegal sweater if you guys do a saddle shoulder.
Congrats Ian! Definitely interested in the sweater and 1pc collar polo. XS-Small (34-36) sizes I hope?
The thighs look slim but I'm definitely going to try them out. The rise looks great.
What size thigh (or what brands) do you typically go for? I wouldn't call ours roomy in the thigh or anything like that but they do have a bit more space than, say, rivet chinos or J. Crew chinos or other classic 'slim' chinos like that.
I used to wear J.Crew 770 fit, but have switched over to Taylor Stitch Democratic chinos; I find they fit similarly in the top block. Also Taylors from Epaulet fit well. Is it possible to compare the thigh and seat fit of yours to these? My issue is almost always the seat and thighs.
I haven't tried the Democratic or the Taylor. I have worn the 770 a good amount and ours is definitely a bit more spacious through the entire leg. More like the Urban Slim fit from like 5-10 years ago.
I actually dont have a great fitting chino - J crew's classic (not the slimmer ones) work ok. It's why I've fallen into wearing jeans more when not wearing wool pants. Definitely going to try yall's out and hope for the best.XS is very much in the works!

I’ve always wanted a valstarino and will probably get one some day, just never got around to it. But it’s one of the classics that I think I’d really enjoy. I had a chance to try one on at a shop in the Bay Area and I confirmed that it is indeed awesome. I assume your version would be priced much more reasonably and if the feel and fit is great I’d give it a try. The length seems like it’s a bit tricky with this jacket. It needs to be short enough and it would need to make me commit to wearing them with a higher waisted trousers. After the length, I’d like a roomy body but with a nice rounded shape.
For color I’ve always thought caramel was better than dark brown.
Cool jacket. Something to consider is that patch pockets with flaps right in in the belly area offer additional visual volume which isn't always flattering on guys unless they have a skinny waist and broad shoulders. I would suggest angled "****" pockets (not sure of the right term) for a more lean, trim look. You still get good detail from the ribbed top and bottom and the buttons.
@brillopad I would definitely be interested in a suede blouson and welcome the idea!
Regarding your denim, is the fit very slim? Would you compare the silhouette to the Orslow 107 fit?
