I admit, it takes a little longer to do up, but it's not that bad.

I barely have enough time to pee between classes as it is, I don't need to add more complication to my life.

I'm with you on that one. Also why I will never get button fly.

I'm lazy man and have to pee a lot.

Took my sports coat to tailor because it's too tight now, and he said there is some fabric to let out of the armhole and he will increase the entire back.

Hopeful and curious to see how this turns out.

@spiermackay Rick, speaking of F/W, any plan for half zip/button knit?

Is he increasing the armhole? Or just letting fabric out of there to increase width of the upper back?

Good question, I'm not certain. I'll ask him next week.

You never know until you try. They are very comfortable and visually interesting. A lot of people think they are too out there for them, but if you're worried about sticking out, don't be. The masses don't even notice.

I get where you're coming from, but the majority of S&M's customers are not #menswear geeks. Didn't I read that S&M is not going to offer their Neapolitan cut in RTW suits (only MTO) because they didn't sell well? If they can't sell that to their mainstream customers, forget trying to sell gurkha trousers to them.

I think they look really cool with a high rise, pleats, and wide waistband.

That is one busy, peacock look.

Has anyone gone through and can comment on going through MTO/MTM for trousers (or anything I guess) via email/pictures?

MTM high rise khakis. Absolutely nailed the fit but that is what you expect with @induere_to taking measurements. If you are local to Toronto or do visit Toronto booking a fitting with Mr. Hanchett is a no brainer!!
Spier/ Mr. Hanchett LEGIT!!

Except that's not a pair of Gurhka trousers. Here's a real pair of Gurhka trousers for reference.

Very nice. What kind of cotton was used for these?

I was replying to the gentleman’s question for MTO or MTM trouser fit in general not just Ghurkha trousers.
I do own Ghurkha shorts so I am well aware of them. Your trousers look spot on!!

I believe the same 100% cotton khaki fabric Spier offered in summer for their off the rack trousers.

And this is a picture of a real dog. What's your point?

There's no "real" Gurkha trouser considering that they evolved from the Gurkha short.
