Hows the transparency? If recall correctly, last year's cream linen suffered from this?

From personal experience (SS '19 edition), the cream linen is transparent enough to show a clear outline of the front pockets. If it bothers you, I would suggest staying away from it. My workplace is casual enough that it doesn't affect me. Plus, if women are allowed to wear yoga pants to work these days, why can't I wear sheer linen? :stirpot:

I could be interested in the mid gray fresco trouser. Is it 29 inch inseam? Would you consider shipping to Norway?

It is but would be reluctant to ship to Norway, @norMD. You may be well served by getting a pair from Berg & Berg or Cavour given shipping costs from Texas.

Yeah, but Berg and berg are 250 usd and not 65:)

I understand that you are reluctant. If you cant sell them within the US give me a sound.

I have last years Navy Hopsack Neo in 42L. I upgraded to 44L this year which really is the right size for me.
I wore it about a dozen times. I'd give it an 8/10 condition rating. Sleeves shortened to 25.75", waist let out about 1". Will take $125 for it shipped to CONUS.

This thread is a gold mine for 38Rs....
Yeah, I am actually 38, but... regular or slim a bit shorter than I'd like them, maybe 0.5-1" shorter, so I am always excited when I see 38R contemp. or slim, but then pause. Wish 38 was a bit longer :D

I have an MTM shirt which made incorrectly, and is being remade. Which means that you get the "incorrect" shirt for free, just pay for US shipping.

The catch is that the armhole is way too narrow - 9.0 in. Everything else is listed below. It's very close to ESF 15.5/34.

Where are you located for shipping estimate? I'll take it if you're in CONUS.
