I have charcoals, but no greys or navys... I honestly prefer the texture and feel of wool, but I really like the midnight navy shade, which is making things difficult

I would buy both, but I also want to get a button down, so I don't want to blow an extra 150.

dear nahneun,

since you asked me to comment on this, here you go.
screw canvas. this is ervell? his jeansy pants have a weird fit anyway, but maybe you like that skinny ****. get gray wool. i can't comment on the fit of his "formal" pants, though. it seems like in trying to reinvent the pants cut, he swings from having ones that are very wide to ones that are very slim (summer/winter jeans). never handled the trousers, no, wait, i have, at sample sales, but they always struck me as kind of peculiar, like some kind of banana republic cut. YMMV

this is my beef with most designers, though. i'll gladly plunder their knitwear and outerwear, but pants are super hit or miss, and too basic an item to be moonlighting around with

yes but black non formal shoes pair funny depending on the type of bottoms you like to wear with. you're probably gonna have to cuff AND stack some raw denim on those, or stick with non-dark color bottoms
