Snagged a pair of light grey POW linen trousers to add to my anti-Florida-summer arsenal. Looks like a pleasant, mild POW. Not FU, but maybe a touch of pretentious sneer.

I'm hoping the closeup with the smattering of browns and blues is a better rep than the larger pic that is infected with the pixelated jaggies.

WOW, trousers are fantastic.

I want those badly!


Ok, if for some reason they don't pan out I'll pitch them your way before I do a return. But don't get your hopes up, the more I look at 'em, the more I think I'm going to like 'em.

Just back from the tailor... I will be wearing this later today. IRL, it's a really lovely soft blue although it looks grey in this picture.

Actually, just ebay- from the seller Frieschskys, who I think resells a lot of close-outs and off- or in-house label type stuff. I don't know who/what Mark Shale is, and I've never seen Zanella's re-labeled like that, but felt good enough about it being legit Zanella to give it a whirl. .

thanks. they're legit there's no doubt. Mark Shale has some things made each season through their various vendors.
don't know who their buyers are but i like the way they think

Mark Shale had 3 stores in the Chicago area when it closed in Dec 2012. It carried Canali, Jack Victor, Ike Behar and Zanella. Sorry to see it closed.
