Speaking of which, anyone have any IRL photos of the medium wash denim shirt? I want see how they compare to the light wash.

Only reason I didn't go with the medium wash is what seems to me as really dark contrast stitching. Unsure, but I assume this wont fade as much as the rest of the shirt and might be more noticeable after a few washes (which I personally do not want)

Didn’t really notice that before. But now that I see it, I can’t unsee it. Thank you very much. Lol

The Rake, currently has Cream Flannels, 38? but at a steep cost (Kit Blake), and that will be my last pair, unless we get a great deal out there!

For those who have used the in-house hemming, do you have the same inseam for high rise trousers as regular?

I just returned a shirt from Eton that I blind bought online. It was a denim shirt that came in a 16 1/2 neck but the standard (i.e. no ability to select the length) sleeve length was 36 1/2. I'm 6'2" and the sleeve bunching made it unwearable even with a jacket on. I know now that I can't go longer than a 35 in a blind buy. Too bad, the shirt looks lovely.

Made the same mistake w 161/2 Eton pullover demin Sleeves 36? Just hanging in the closet!

I'm curious to know what sleeve shortening would cost and if the work comes out ok. I've taken plenty of sportcoats to get sleeves shortened, but never a shirt.

don't get a shirt sleeve shortened. if they take it from the cuff it kind of messes up the proportions of the sleeve placket and stuff.

if getting it from the shoulder armhole it' slike major surgery so don't do it.

at that point like other readers ahve stated just get MTM or something. Shirts are sig. harder to make look good than a suit suit due to certain design details.

I’m getting some non buyers remorse for not buying that green herringbone when it was available a few years ago... Pics look great!

Ok, I don't even care about S&M, but I just have to jump in here:

Your belly button and its proximal placement has absolutely nothing to do with your waist. As in, zero - zilch - nihil.

Your waist is the narrowest section of your abdominal cavity (that's the middle of your body). It is always above the hips, and for a lot of people is near the navel, but that means absolutely nothing unless you take your measurements with a tape. For fit people, the waist is visibly apparent.

My own waist lies nearly two inches above the navel. For many others it is lower. But the only consideration should be the narrowest part of the body, because that is both where the trousers may hang without the need for a belt or braces, and where they will perfectly cover the bottom of the shirt to meet with the jacket and present a better figure.

Some examples of how it should look when your jacket is buttoned (in terms of the jacket and trousers, not necessarily style):

All right, you kids can go back to your fun.

Is this applicable to regular trousers or just high rise ones?

Where the waist sits on the body is a question anatomical. Whether someone wants trousers that sit on, above, or below that point is up to them.

But many people seem to think that having trousers sit at their proper waist is 'high-rise,' so in that sense I suppose it is.

Trousers that sit at the waist generally look odd without something to cover them, IMO. But they look much better with a jacket, and don't fall down.

That was in my cart too!
