Does anyone have experience with the upcycled denim trousers or the raglan coat in 3-ply wool?

I like the new colors of the denim, but I'm still not sure how I'd feel about pleated and creased denim trousers.
And the 3-ply raglan is sort of tempting from a visual point of view, soft and fluid, but I'm not really sure when I'd use it. Seems too cold to use in any cold weather as it's so breezy and wearing a coat in spring/summer feels sort of weird.

Anyone have the old instagram lives recorded by any chance? Looks like they’ve all been deleted unfortunately.

Has anyone found something similar to the basketweave trousers from elsewhere? I'm looking for a new pair in chocolate brown as my current pair from Stoffa are on their last legs.

I wanted to explore my options before going back to Stoffa and coming to terms with the price changes. Shameless.

I've been eyeing some Brisbane Moss canvas trousers at Luxire. Sort of similar texture and 310g weight (around 10-11oz) so somewhat similar. Although I have no idea if the feel of the fabric is similar. Some nice color choices though.

Depending on how they're worn out stoffa offers repairs though, could be good to know. I've done it on several of my trousers and it's very clean. Granted the color difference might be fairly noticeable on a darker color like choco but if they're worn out in the crotch for instance, might be worth checking it out.
Here's the repair job they did on a pair of flannels for instance. (And you can see where the pilling is how my legs are eating fabric again hehe)

Can anyone speak to the actual fabric of this trouser on Mr. Porter:


It says peached cotton in the name/description but doesn't look like it in the product shots/video? I was under the impression that it's a heavier fabric whereas it looks more summer weight in the shots.

That looks more like cotton canvas:

I agree definitely cotton canvas. I’ve noticed before they usually mix the fabric up at mr porter.

My tailor is convinced they use Brisbane. Waiting on some samples from him to compare. Rota seems to have a somewhat similar fabric in their MTO selection as well.

I've used a few colors of this fabric from Luxire before buying my Stoffa trousers.


I know it's a linen/cotton blend but they do feel comparable.

Good point. I have several pairs in this mix. Fades a lot more, and wears a bit cooler, but somewhat similar feel.

Has anyone altered their flannel trousers to lengthen them? If so, does it leave a mark at the cuff?

If there's fabric to lengthen, this is a standard tailoring alteration.

There shouldn't be marking remaining since it's wool. A crisp cotton often will show the original stitching since it's a fabric that has a memory. I have found this also true for some corduroy. Linen might be more forgiving.
