Just picked up a DB LL RAF blue linen and DB Tobacco fresco (slewfoot edition).

You're getting pretty close to full medwards it seems.

Total population is only marginally relevant. More to the point is the suit-wearing population. By that measure, San Francisco is a small town.

A hamlet really.

Anyone raise the Foo's issues to them? I mentioned it and the conversation wasn't that interesting (a combination of: no idea what he is talking about; maybe we did something the customer asked for if we made a mistake, which is always possible, we would be glad to fix it; and why doesn't he come in and check to see how we make our shoulders if he is so sure and interested).

Interesting - I was wondering why, after hundreds of posts - nobody actually confronted NSM with this issue (or non issue)!

pents

When you have NSM make your pents, what do you ask for? I have only had them make up pents with belt loops, two rear pockets and a zipper, typical stuff. Do you get button fly, one rear pocket , tab sides or anything else not typically found in RTW?

 

[Manton]

I only have one suit, which is button fly (which I do not prefer). I've never got pents from them before other than that. I would have used ambrosi but it appears he's not coming back.

The NSM suit pants fit very well so I figure they will do a good job on some khakis and whipcords.

 

[Eustace Tilley]

I am in dire need of new khakis. What cloth did you go for?

 

[Manton]

I don't see them until tomorrow, just a basic drill is the goal.

I have some off white cotton/cashmere pants that will arrive any day along with a navy suit. Dino was sending them to me from NYC and avoiding shipping from Italy. I was very impressed by the pants for my suit. I wore Ambrosi pants when I went to try them on and the fit was very similar. Looking forward to the new ones.

I am on my third suit, meaning third pair of pents - this latest will be with belt loops rather than side tabs.
I always get button-fly. Hip pockets are quarter seam and they typically make two rear pockets (buttoned). They also do the Napoli double watch pockets, which I don't ask for but kind of like as a regional quirk (Savile Row standard is one, on right side)..

What, no button cuffs?

Gus - is your cotton/cashmere the Scabal?

I believe it is. It has been a while. I do remember the feel being wonderful. It will be ideal for Fall/Winter or a cool San Francisco day.
