Take 4 Pins And Brace Buttons, I Do All My (joyfully) Trousers, I Don't Brace Chinos, And No Headaches! My Tailor Loves It, But I've Known And Worked With Her For 30yrs...

I hope she gives you a discount. You’re doing most of the work.

reading this thread and finding out people try and dictate an inseam length and measurements to their tailor instead of just trying their clothes on and having the tailor mark them in the shop

I Use To Pay (3 mos ago) $15, Nordy Went Up To $24, She's Not Happy About It, But She'll Sew In My Brace Buttons For Free And Suit (s$m) Buttons When They Fall Off- For Free!

I Really Enjoy Doing It And I Do Take Care Of Her, At Christmas Time...

You’re the man ! Thank you sir.

You're welcome. Let me know if you require more pics or anything else comparison wise.

Some interesting custom options has popped up. All these flannel alternatives from VBC are unique and interesting for different reasons IMO.

I'm not a houndstooth suit type of guy, but that particular fabric looks interesting.

So is the taupe. But mainly made as a pair of trousers for my style.

As for the chalk stripes, I think they would make interesting and unique suits as SBs because of their somewhat less formal nature compared to regular white chalk stripes instead of taupe/brown whicg are usually made as DBs.

Are there any other RTW brands that offer a "short" version of their jackets?

 

[Angel91]

Many in England, Charles tyrwhitt, marks and Spencer’s, Magee, most of them really.
Suitsupply does too.
Gagliardi for some models.
Lopez Aragon in Spain does short and extra short standard sizes.

I decided to keep the cavalry twill trousers but I struggle to find an occasion for them. As another user noted, the fabric could easily pass as workwear, but I'll never wear them for actual work- that's what Carhartt dungarees are for. The fabric is essentially casual in appearance but it's also too stiff to be really comfortable. When I want a casual fall/winter trouser, I'm reaching for my moleskins and corduroys. These trousers, sadly, may go unworn until the next time I ride a horse.
