It was the beige plain chino trial pants, I don't see it listed anymore. Picture is slightly darker and a bit more saturated, but overall I'm more pleased with the fabric than when I ordered as it looked rather light in the picture.What fabric is that?
I agree, I went a bit looser in the hips as I can't seem to get pants without having the pockets flare out. I have a bit extra in the seat and hips, so I erred on the side of caution, plus I wanted to have some room if these were to shrink in the wash too.not bad...not perfect...bu not bad at all!..
hip/upper thi looksa bit loose/baggy...but that may be your desire.
Ordered on February 16th, delivered today. 5 weeks total and I'm a first time customer, so I feel that was reasonable. I sent in measurements and they are about 95% perfect. I combined and averaged several measurements, mainly from a pair of thrifted pants that fit great from the hips up, and a pair of BB trousers that fit well from the hips down. I think if I change anything I may bring in the back rise just a touch. These are straight from the package and haven't been ironed so there's a bit of excess wrinkling.

Congratulations to a great fit on the first try! The fit of the seat is good and that's the hardest part to get right, at least that's my experience.
Bringing in the back rise a touch seems like a reasonable adjustment. If it was my pants, I would consider a slightly wider leg opening for the next pair. I get a sense that the proportions would be even better that way. Though it's hard to tell since you didn't post a side view...
We have created a new technique for shirt collar patterns. In experimentation currently, it seems to be working really well.
Curves around the neck naturally and stands firm.
Some more changes in shirt tech are in progress. The goal is higher level of satisfaction.
Do send us an email. We will send you some more images, including one crushing the fabric, to show the wrinkling (or the lack of it)Does anyone have any experience with those Dugdale cascade linen-silk blend fabrics? I'm tempted to try it out for some casual summer weight slacks, but I typically can't stand how badly linen wrinkles, and I'm curious as to how much the 50/50 blend mitigates the wrinkling. Plus, it's sometimes difficult to know how a fabric will look as a garment from just a zoomed-in shot of the texture, some of which I'm not sure are accurate (a "blue herringbone" with a shot that doesn't show a herringbone, for instance).
When will the details of these improvements be released?
Like many, I have existing patterns that I’m happy with but would also like the option to consider tweaks for an improved fit.
Could you please clarify whether the collar improvements relate to construction (in which case they might be applicable to all/older collar patterns) or to pattern (so not applicable to older patterns)? Also, what should I expect to notice with the new collars? A difference in how the collar leaves sit, fit around the neck, or something else?The launch should happen later this month.
We will be making shirts with the new version of all our collars and sharing images, guiding us make informed decisions.
