Another question for everyone, what do you guys see as pairing with the green or burgundy in terms of shirt color combinations? 

My personal sartorial policy is only one non-standard/non-neutral color at a time (here green or burgundy) so in this case I'd stick with the usual suspects - white or blue. I'd also offset it with a jacket or sweater in navy, dark brown or grey. Brown would be my last choice this time.

Lighter blue goes great with green trousers or jackets. Of course white with anything.
Green trousers is very easy to wear IMO and that shade is nice, go for it!

Thanks guys. I have a few pairs of pants in olive tones that I find quite versatile, this green is a bit more bold and I am quite drawn to it so I appreciate the input.

Depends on the size/fit. We have a total of 263 pcs across 7 colours/2 fits/all sizes. I'll open it up to SF first before we put out the email.

Hi Rick,

Love the look of the new flannels.
I'm afraid this might be a long shot but... will there be 28 slim? If not, at least 30 slim?

Thanks,
Peter.

I am seriously having a hard time deciding on colors, are they heavy to the point they are basically a winter only trouser?

I own some wools already in the greys and navys that would probably end up as overlaps in my collection, but then again those are the most staple colors that get more use. On the other hand I love the green, burgundy, and tan but those will see less time in the rotation. I think 3 pairs will be my max.

They're definitely warm, but not too warm. I would wear them for Fall/Winter.

The brown/tan/oatmeal or whatever you want to call it is basically a light grey with beige undertones. I grabbed a pair, pics really don't do them justice.

For once we Canadians (well...Torontonians) get some sort of advantage! Haha!

On another note, Rick, what price at the usual trousers increasing to? I received an email saying there will be a price hike in Oct.

I'm wondering this as well. If the S&M flannel is 350 gsm, and if my research is correct, this is under 12 oz.

According to this thread, even 12 oz would be light weight flannel. If this is true, that's a good thing, based on the environments I dwell in.

Maybe it was a typo and it's actually 530 gsm..

Anyone know the exact difference between contemporary and slim? Measurements for rise, thighs, knees, leg opening? And is true to size actually true to size or is there maybe like a half inch difference (up?)

Just want to make sure and prepared to order for tomorrow. Any idea when they'll be up? Going to try to stay up for it!

Regular trousers will increase to $118/pair up from $110/pair now, but will still see a $20/pair discount on bundles. Not a big increase, but the new factory, their trouser cost is higher, but honestly, the finish is excellent. Still an amazing value.

Not a typo. These are 350 gsm. They are thick and warm, but not as insanely heavy as Fox Bros or Even the Huddersfield Flannel, which comes in at 450 gms. We had this debate before a while back. The weight needs to be heavy enough for outdoor wear, but light enough not to overheat in an office. These should be fine.

The specs listed on our size chart are accurate.

As soon as we load the images on the site, you guys will be the first to know.

I just picked up two pairs, they are a nice mid-weight, three season fabric. I'll start wearing them when the daytime highs start dropping below 15 degrees.

Hey Rick, can you add a "Pick up in-Store" option to your website?

Are the flannel trousers in Toronto today by any chance?

We might do the pick up in store option on the new site. But the flannel are already in the Downtown shop.

Can the grand opening coupons be stacked with bundles?
