Super nitpicky - Would you go for the Gesso black trousers or the Counter black trousers? The Gesso are 50/50 wool/cotton and the Counter are a wool/cashmere blend. Gesso has a more unique knitted waist band, which is neither a good or bad thing.

Gesso:

Gesso looks like a fuller cut. But the counters look better detailed/versatile. I don’t like that yolk? On the back of the Gesso. Looks like a knit workout pant.

Thanks, and thanks to @Benesyed in the other thread too. Based on what you guys have said about the different cuts, think the Gesso pair might be the best option, I've always found SS trousers I've tried to be a bit too slim/tight for comfort (I'm a 32w and had no luck with 4s and 5s I've tried in other models). The knitted waistband concerns me a little in terms of how it will age/durability, but only one way to find out I guess.

I have had the gesso from when I pre ordered them. Waist is still good! Unless you plan to wear them everyday and stretch them a lot when you put them on

Did you get them from Suspension Point? Seen a few pics of a really nice melange/birdseye type version, really hope next AW season brings back some more textural interest

After enjoying some AW18 pieces (including shirts, sweaters, trousers, scarves), I can tell you that there is no shortage of textural interest. I think the fabrics are just getting more sophisticated and need to be handled to really appreciate.

@Mojo1990 It's weird isn't it, took me a few looks to realise it wasn't just a shirt. The image is from Garmentory and the shop listed was Spruce, in Wisconsin, might be worth emailing them. If you like the pattern, I've got a 'Revolution' shirt from Portugese Flannel this season that's very similar, would recommend.

Lots of deep discounts at Totokaelo, and lots of sizes, especially trousers.

Edit: Or not...
