Yes to both.

The Higher Rise trouser was updated this season after all the complaints of the leg being too narrow on the contemporary from last year, especially on the calf.

The Seersucker is about 1/2" larger than spec from the lower thigh down. (Knee for 34 should be 19.5, compared to 20" on the seersucker)

Now compared to the contemporary of the past, where the complaints were, the knee was 18.75"

19.5" is appropriate.

The Sondrio High Rise that came in is on spec.

So the linen jacket and pants should hit the happy medium?

From the production samples we have, they are to spec.

Doubt this week. Possibly next week. I have to get the update from the freight company as to where they are.

@spiermackay thoughts on linen pants with a looser weave?

the shirts are great in terms of breathability, drying, and feeling that breeze.

the linen pants I've bought are pretty sweaty and don't feel that different from cotton. The only benefit is they rumple elegantly.

I do know that there is the risk of this with linen that's too light and open.

Summer tweed came in today, fit right out of the box.

fabric is something special, unfortunate that i probably won't have an opportunity to wear it much due to what's going on right now.

Magnificent Bastard - Linen. It Sucks.

Those pants are just a meme making fun of linen.

They were the standard 100% linen in navy from I think 2 or 3 summers ago. I love the pants, but I don't find the breathability to be very different from cotton compared to the pure linen shirts.

I was poking my chest out a little bit as I was looking upwards in the pic. That might be the culprit. I did notice that in the the front pic but the suit normally doesn’t look tight or bow at the lapel unless I poke my my chest out. But I could be wrong

After looking at this pics, I don't know why you want to return it? A tailor could clean the excess of the shoulder blades but since this is RTW, I think it looks great.

Agreed. "look tight or bow at the lapel" isn't the intended fit.

Yes. Correct.

Drago windowpane MTO in action. Couldn’t recommend this one more. The linen/wool blend is really fantastic and of course the price is quite reasonable for MTO. Glad I picked out this one for my first windowpane.
