The Cohen Loafers from Beckett Simonon! I’ve ordered a few pairs of shoes from them and they look great for the (relatively) low price. The only downside is they're made to order so take a few months to arrive.Which loafers are those? Looking for a similar pair.
This is a bit obsessive, but I'm on my second pair of Armoury chinos and I can't seem to find the right length to balance out the top block while not having the whole thing pooling at my ankles. I was conservative on the hemming due to suspected continual shrinkage and because I wanted to play with cuffing, but with a day's wear they feel rather loose and thereby lengthier.
Is there secret here I'm missing? I should note that I am seeking to wear these casually with shirts untucked, as well as tucked.
A related question: where Mark has cuffed these, has he had them permanently cuffed by a tailor or does he just role them? Single or double roll?
I had mine hemmed and added a permanent cuff at the store. I would guess folks from the Armoury who wear them cuffed probably have them permanently added, but not certain. With the cuff mine have no break and I think look very clean/neat.
I believe he is talking about the chino getting loose in the waist.I am not sure I understand OP question. I had mine hemmed just like any other trouser (except, after one wash to get any bit of shrinkage out of the way). I went with plain bottom no break. They don’t seem to stretch or lengthen after wearing them…..no issues with the two pair (khaki and olive) I have. Thinking about a third at some point to add a cuff.
Mark’s do appear to be hemmed with a permanent (pressed and sewn) cuff.

Ah, all the talk of hemming and cuffs no cuffs/rolling has me confused.
Regarding waist, mine don’t stretch out with wear. After the first wash waist (and length) seems to stay pretty consistent.
Why not wash first before you hem it then?
The cotton on the denim army chino and the regular sports chino do stretch a lot over the course of a few wears. I wear a belt to manage this and to keep these worn high waisted. I also hemmed them short to ensure no break. What do you guys think of the length? Too short?

Button fly is one of the nicest things about them.
