Update on the chinos- ironing produces some color fading, especially on seams

I am really stoked on this as they will break in really uniquely but if you want totally uniform color you have to be very cautious with the iron

I think the quality of the chinos becomes more apparent after several washes. They are a good value if you want to break in chinos yourself

That fading is the uneven press you get from ironing on a busted seam, not any actual colour lifting. They will fade over the course of many washes. They will break in like a good pair of denim.

The delightful grey fresco. Unsure of the pairing, but the suit itself continues to impress.

Getting ready to pull the trigger on the Off-White Cotton Trousers, but just wanted to confirm that they're not see-through...

Forgot how much I like that washed denim...

Is it possible to request orange stitch thread on a MTO rather than the standard white? I have an old Ben Silver "refined" denim shirt I wear with ties and sportcoats that I'd like to replace. The fabric is similar to that mid wash denim, but with orange thread.

I got confirmation but nothing shows on USPS, I assume it's stuck in custom between Canada and US probably

Went in for a fitting of my MTM suit (high rise trousers, single pleat, 3 roll 2, 3.5' lapels, full canvas).

Initial results look good. Alterations are done, and is ready to be picked up. Posting pics today.

Also, @spiermackay Tim @induere_to has been a real asset to your team. He will be missed!
@ me when you post pics, I'm hype.

An acid wash would be dope

I liked the mid wash so much I'm going to order another one when it pops up in MTM.
