Does anyone know how The Armoury's Sport Chinos compare in fit against Drake's flat front chinos?

Armoury ones are substantially more generously cut in the seat and thighs. Slightly more narrow at the hem.

Model 3 Sports Jacket just arrived from D93 (In a little under 2 days from being shipped on Monday) super pleased with it and just need to get some minor adjustments to it and pleasantly surprised with how nice the Wool/Mohair Hopsack feels.

Any idea what model trousers these are on the product page here? Don't remember seeing any RJ RTW trousers being offered with pleats https://www.thearmoury.com/products...-coat-with-flap-pocket?variant=12077995753543

Good choice. D93's shipping has gotten so ridiculously impressive.

Likely that exact model is long gone, but the new season 4-ply Ring trousers would pair excellently with it.

I have that same jacket actually! I love it. In terms of the trousers, The Armoury usually labels the plain front RJ trousers as "Model A" and the pleated trousers as "Model B," if that helps.

Ah Model B is the one! I saw on D93 but sadly didn't have my size but excited to get the jacket out once the sleeves are finished and taking in the waist that tiny bit (and pressing some of the creases from getting shipped flat a few thousand miles away). How have you found the material in colder weather?

Great in Fall/Spring, but I’d probably want something a bit warmer starting in November or so! (I’m in NY and run quite warm though)

Has Armoury changed the fit of the Model 3 over the years? I ask as the measurements on D93 (eg, the Dormeuil flannel posted recently) are nearly the same as for the RJ 253, whereas the Model 3 measurements on the Armoury website suggest a much more generous fit in shoulders and chest.

Any of y'all have direct experience with the Ring Model 3 & the official (the made in Italy version) "Armoury" 101/103 models?

Both the 101/103 (the 101 especially) seem distinctly smaller in sizing.

I wear a 52 in the Ring Model 3, but my MTO 101/103 hybrid (shawl collar 101 with shoulders from 103) tuxedo is a 54

Ooooooh post pics if you've any handy please.

Appreciate the input. That looks about right based on the sizing charts provided.

I wear 50 on model 3, but the shoulders are a touch big for me (I'd probably be a size 49 if it existed), and when I tried the 101, size 50 felt just right on the shoulders.

That said, they told me if it were 103, they'd recommend sizing up due to the shoulders, but I didn't try any 103 yet.

I like the 101 shoulders but buttoning stance seemed a bit high compared to my usual model 3s.

Speaking of sizing, I've got a size 52 Model B in the VBC brown nailhead that I'd like to trade for a similar staple suit (navy, grey) in a Model B size 50 if anyone is looking to size up.

Anyone familiar with the RJ Balloon fabric (like on this one)? It felt quite breathable and crease resistant from when I tried one at the store. Would love to hear some long-term experience/feedback from those who own similar jackets.

I have a Balloon fabric sport coat. It is heavier than a fresco or other similar to fresco hi twist wool, maybe more like a heavier mock Leno. At the same it is very breathable, and wrinkle resistant. I don’t think it would be suitable for a mid-summer hot day due to the weight, but for any other weather it’s appropriate.

Additionally, I’ve traveled with it a couple of times, just folded in my suitcase and it’s never shown a wrinkle
