Tailors Keep started working on the trousers yesterday, and sent over some pics:

Prepping the cloth:

Transposing the pattern:

Setting the pleat:

Here’s an example of their house style trouser side seam, where it pitches forward at the waist to follow the line where angled pockets would be. I really like this detail; it’s as if the pocket isn’t even there.

...and a little handwork:

Trousers should be ready for a fitting next week, after which they’ll start the jacket.

This is exciting stuff! I've got two double pleated trousers bespoke from Tailors Keep. Can attest that the detailing is fantastic and I think Ryan has the fitting process down pat. Glad they're getting some higher visibility, it's about time.

I don't have any particularly great photos of the trousers, but can try to take some if people want to see more TK examples.

I'd be curious to hear how displacing that side seam affects the fit and drape, if at all. Does it only work for certain body types? Does the pattern have to be changed in other ways, besides the fact that the seam isn't there?

Hmmm good question, I’ll be sure to ask.

These look like the oatmeal flannel that NMWA did a few years back. I will look into this for trousers.

Personal finances be damned I ordered a brown leno jacket and khaki pants from Hemrajani, too.

Is Joe doing visits/fittings in Atlanta? Didn't think he was still making the rounds.

Me and flannel trousers don't mesh well together, but I can get behind the linen you're making up.
Gotcha. It’s a beautiful fabric, a very beefy 500g linen. I especially like the wavy twill. Next time I’m in NYC I’ll bring it & give you a holler.

Well he is retired! But someone will be here in August I think they said.
