Just got my order in.. UPS needs to step it up.. first, it got delayed by 4 days and also the hangar was broken… unless SM did a poor job taping 🤔

Yes that looks like a close match.
I'm afraid this year's SM one that I linked earlier is a bit too warm/orange for what I'm looking for.

I wouldn't discount Canadian customs officers. They mangled my first couple packages from S&M.

Looks ridiculously good if that is RTW any alteratiosn mad if so?

I am 99% sure its custom/ups and not s&m. I live in Canada so I have no customs and my S&M boxes have always been pristine (I have like 25+ online orders since 2020 so I believe it is a good sample size).

Can anyone comment on the difference between the 340g VBC flannel and the 470g Minnis flannel trousers? Our winter isn't very long or harsh in New Orleans so the lighter weight VBC appeals to me but if they won't hold a crease or bag out or whatever I would consider the Minnis.

The new bombers looks so nice. Not sure whether to get my typical jacket size or size up though

I have both. The Minnis flannel is famous for its durability. It's a woolen flannel.

The VBC is a hybrid between woolen and worsted flannel. It has the intricate look of a classic woolen flannel with those classic colour variations while still being durable and able to hold a crease well thus still looking sharp by the end of the day. Woolen flannels tend to sag more, loose shape and nap more over time compared to worsted flannels. But they're considered the cold standard of flannels, mainly because of the looks.

The VBC, for me, presents the best of both worlds. Some swear by woolen flannel because that's the classic take on flannel. But personally, I don't appreciate the look of woolen flannel trousers after a day's wear. They almost looks like a pair of pajama trousers.

Spoiler: VBC flannel

Spoiler: VBC left and Minnis right

I've been waiting for this to drop for so long, but that breast pocket looks ridiculously high, no?

Didn’t notice, I was just so focused on securing my size. Yeah, it’s a bit wierd.

It may just be a combination of the heavy cloth, the camera angle, and the size used

Let's hope so, because it didn't look like this in the pics from IG when previewed.

Maybe they made up the model last year with the FW21 Neo cut?

I'm not seeing it. Could you please post a link sir?

NVM, I see it now. Agreed - breast pocket looks too high!
