I'll post some proper photos soon. The length is fine.

If I may be blunt, I think what folks are getting at is that your new MTM pants make your legs look short/fat, while they otherwise do not in your other fit pics.

Going to order my first custom order shirt from the website now we can order directly from Australia. If I’m taking measurements from another shirt should I add a bit extra in the sleeve for shrinkage, or would @spiermackay do that for me?

Full shots. The trousers are a little too tapered from the knee down in relation to the fuller hips. And @Viatu maybe they could use 1/4" in length... Went with my usual inseam.

New, OTR medium brown flannels for comparison.

Anybody already own the Brisbane cords and moleskins that are on flash sale today and able to speak to the fit in comparison to S&M contemporary suit/wool trousers (not high rise)?

Cut on S&M chinos makes them a no go for me, and subsequently I've passed on the 5-pocket cords for that reason. Wondering if I would run into the same issue with these as well. Thanks in advance.

Further to Warren's comment, I'd like to formally issue a request(?) or challenge(?) to show me some footwear pairings with that neo cord suit. Looking for inspiration.

Go!

Cable knit sweater pictured here with the Angelio light brown and blue check. Both were solid buys, I definitely needed more sweaters and the Angelico wool is crazy soft. For reference, I'm 5'11/195, sweater is a large and sportcoat is a 42L. Haven't had the sleeves taken up yet.

Sweater hem not folded up so you can see the whole length.

Same fit as the wool trousers. I do not own the chinos, but from what I gather the dress pants offer a little more room. I took my usual size which requires ~1.5" reduction in the waist because I go up a size for the hip/thigh room.

No pics yet, but I wear mine with paraboots to keep it casual. I'm tempted to try some suede loafers but I don't want to look like a furry.
