Fatigues seem quite cropped this season, or is it just people sizing down? They look great anyway.

It’s definitely the cut, went with my normal size and they are a few inches shorter than usual
****... that’s basically the only thing that stops me from getting those. I wonder how painter pants in similar patchwork style fit.

Anyone get the New Bedford? Curious about fit. Seems like a happy medium between Baker and classic Bedford.

@avantbored Yes, that's a good analogy. The NB is slimmer in the body than the Bedford and the lapels are slightly smaller. Overall it has a more sleek and tailored look than its predecessor.

They are much wider in the leg, larger waist, and a little more length, though negligible. I will put up a fit with them tomorrow.

The pant fit here with the Chucks is perfect. The intentional crop on the spring fatigues was a really good move IMO.

SO GOOD! This is exactly the fit that I'm aiming for with all my pants basically. What's your height how did you size on those Painters? I need them, in the same exact fabric.

Thanks! I’m 5’10.5” or so. I usually wear M/32 in EG pants. These are M. A bit big in the waist but fine with a belt. I grabbed them from Today Clothing.
