Recent pickups. Was sad that I missed out on that great cardigan @ Barneys. I do prefer the belted cardigan recently posted, but couldn't stomach the price even at 40% off unfortunately (my wife would kill me with how much I've been spending lately).

I do really dig this shawl pullover sweater I was able to pick-up though. I'll try to get some fits up at some point. I will say that while I do tend to prefer slim fits, some of the rises on these slim and slim narrow fits from RRL lately have been getting pretty darn low. I'd much prefer a mid-rise on the slim/tapered leg, the top block on these I feel are getting closer and closer to women's hip huggers....

I'm not a sweatshirt guy but these are the softest two pieces I've ever tried on. And steals at the Barney's sale prices.

Sorry mine’s a M. It is a little short but I think that’s by design.

Edit: wearing the jacket to see Solo.

Sorry for the late response, but I have these. They are pretty neat, non-selvedge, relatively lightweight canvas material. They are the slim narrow fit so they are pretty tapered with a low rise.

They definitely have a 'leather like' finish to them, so people will definitely think you are wearing leather pants (not sure if that is a good or bad thing).
Thanks for the info. This really helped. Do these stretch out much in your experience? I just ordered TTS, but not sure if I should have gone down 1. True 32" waist.

They do stretch out a bit, not a lot, but definitely some, if you are wondering, my 32 waist pair initially measured 16.5" with the waist laid flat across. I think maybe you could have sized down 1 in the waist but you'd run the risk of it not fitting in other areas as my pair at least ran very slim.

Cool, thanks. Did you go TTS yourself?

I didnt, and did size down as I similarly do with almost all my RRL denim. However, I will admit these are a bit tight in the waist for me, and are probably closer to TTS than any other pair I own. Sometimes sizing the slim fits and slim narrows can be a bit of a challenge for me as I have very skinny legs but carry a bit of weight in my midsection (damn genetics combined with a little too much ice cream). Since they mimicked leather I felt I should go as slim in the leg as possible.
