They just never made sizes above 9-10 afaik

Did you give them that feedback?
I have in the past and the response was
A) there isn’t enough demand for it
B) it’s hard to get larger sized mizuno produced

But the more people that bring it up the more likely they add bigger sizes

I did in store but I suspect it didn’t reach far. Actually the SA at the Paris store was like “strange decision considering that they are a British company”.

Here’s another link preview for upcoming fall winter collection.

「マーガレット・ハウエル」が貫く“ファッションではなくクロージングブランド”という哲学 - WWDJAPAN

「マーガレット・ハウエル（MARGARET HOWELL）」の2023-24年秋冬展示会に行ってきました。久々に展示会を訪ねて驚いたことが、家具類が展示会場で結構目立っていたこと。と言っても、特にコロナ禍のステイホームで家具に注力したといったことでもないそうで、ブランドをよく知る方からしたら「今さら何を当たり前のことを言っているの？」と怒られそうです。確かにカフェも併設する神南の直営店は、家具や器、ガラス製品なども置いてあって、ブランドとして生活丸ごとを提案していることを思い出しました。

Yeah, I see it more as a collaboration between Margaret Howell Japan and Mizuno Japan (isn’t it part of the “Go to by Mizuno” lifestyle range?) so I guess it’s geared towards that market. Makes sense, but sucks if it’s too small for you.

The shoes are just slightly nicer versions of/updates on existing models in Japan, sizes seem to only go up to 28 or 29 (UK 9 or 10) there. The new models look like they might be the Wave Evoke GTX?

I thought the Margaret Howell (UK) website says the shoes run a size small and advise sizing up. So I’m surprised to hear they run big.

Some promotion for the upcoming Fred Perry capsule collection, coming out June 19. I like it!

Fred Perry for Margaret Howell SS23 Cloaks Clothes in Classic Silhouettes

Inspired by designs from the Fred Perry archive.

“I enjoyed sports and athletics at school and when I began designing clothes, sportswear was a source of inspiration – photographs of sports men and women in action for example,” said Margaret Howell. “Also, I grew up with the name of Fred Perry so to collaborate with the Fred Perry company and their expertise of manufacture, I feel is a happy match!”

Does anybody remember what these pants were called?
I think it was SS21 but might have been last season

And as a follow up - if anybody has a pair in a Large or knows where there is a pair could you let me know?

Those look similar to the Tab Adjustor Trousers which were made in different fabrics across several season including SS21. However Tab Adjustor trousers were not cropped so maybe these are from SS22?

 

[OccultaVexillum]

That’s it! Tab adjuster!
Thanks man.
Yeah these aren’t actually cropped it’s just the lookbook (as Howell generally styles their pants)

 

[ike_hiking_boots]

Here are all the iterations of the Tab Adjustor Trouser:

A/W 2020
Dry Cotton Drill – Putty
Dry Cotton Drill – Black

S/S 2021
Dense Cotton Drill – Dark Stone
Dense Cotton Drill – Indigo

AW 2021
Dry Wool Cord – Black
Morning Stripe Wool Twill – Charcoal
Dry Compact Cotton – Khaki
Dry Compact Cotton – Black

Love the fit on these. I have a pair in the Putty and the Dark Stone. The pattern is based on the AW19 Wide Waistband Trouser which had the same fit and diagonal slash pockets but does not feature the tab adjustors or the button-through patch back pocket; instead it has two concealed button-fastening flap pockets and a two button fastening at the waist. Wide Waistband Trouser came in Heavy Black Moleskin and Charcoal Tough Wool Drill; I have the Wool Drill + the matching Wide Wrap Blazer.

Any thoughts? I’m guessing it’s not quite your thing. I like it, but I’m not sure if I’ll buy anything. Although the Pintuck Jogger is tempting.

Yeah it’s not my thing. It’s kind of a pointless collaboration imo and the FP laurel wreath logo kills anything I might have considered otherwise.

 

[milosh]

I mean exactly. FP just not the brand I want to wear.
