Hi guys, was wondering if anyone had the same thoughts as me about the contemporary trousers (these are the Guabello denim blue).

The overall fit is good, but 1) may need a bit of taper (obviously hemming too), and more importantly 2) the area around the butt/upper right seems to be straight and not have any shape - perhaps the seats needs a bit of tightening?
Input appreciated. I've tried the slim (chinos) below but they were too tight for my liking.

Otherwise, good quality and looks good. Also a photo of what the denim blue looks like in close - material looks great in person, like a bright denim X twill. Will take more photos once everything is tailored.

Colour looks good IRL, as normal looks darker than S&M Photos. As far as fit, I think it fits great and nothing needed in seat or tapering, can't tell about pleat though in photos. Can you button the waistband button or just didn't button in first photo? My taste is also different from other people.

Does anyone know what the deal is with the fur on the parkas? I always feel a little weird about wearing fur

Simply because it works the best, better than anything out there. Talking specifically about hoods here; try on some jackets when its frigid cold and there's wind. Hoods without fur or even synthetic fur cannot even compare.

I'm considering pulling the trigger on a parka. More of a 40/41R chest (185lbs Athletic build), the medium seems like it should do the trick but should I move up to a Large? Would love some insight from those that have purchased.

Neo gang. Cerruti. A keeper for sure. Possibly a sleeper of the season.

Edit - should have clarified, I will also be letting out the waistband (bit tight ATM).

I agree the contemporary dress trousers could use more taper in the leg.

I would not let your experience with the slim chinos discourage you from ordering the slim dress trousers. In my experience, the slim trouser has a lot more room than the slim chino.

My own particular solution has been to order 1 size larger in the slim trousers, then just take in the waist.

The color looks great!

My personal hesitancy would be around the sourcing of the fur in term of ethics, not the fur itself.

Canada Goose is notorious for this with the coyote trapping debacle.

Though to argue against myself, I eat meat and wear leather, sooooo this may be splitting hairs.
