More of the High Neck Minimalist Leather in Horween Horse.

the jacket has the same constriction and Lining as the Sand Color. Both Colors will be offered for SS18. even though we might have to change the kind of leather in the sand. We are having difficulties sourcing enough of the tan to do a full or close to a full size run.
At the moment we have only enough of the sand for three jackets that are being made now, along with the blacks

Ridge seam DNA Jeans
this season they are lighter and with more stretch than the previous seasons
the fabric content is 97% Cotton 3% Elastine

coming in two colors, Black and light grey.

I must also make know that the model is one size too small for the pant, we use these to show the garments here, but we are shooting now and over the weekend for the webshop. the original Model we used is a Dancer, who is traveling now with a Celebrity for a Video shoot, and so we are getting Kahir, (the model in the sales banner, who is one of our favorites to work with) to come in and shoot everything with us

Still prefer the cotton/poly. Lol! I just feel wool needs higher maintenance and care.
not these man, for what I want these to be I wouldn't use this fabric if I couldn't stand by its user friendliness
there is a 100% Cotton version, but it does not stretch

Zamb, I own a minimalist linen DNA(2012) trousers that has stretched out a bit along the waistband. The upper block of the pants now feels a tad loose as compared to when I got them. Would it be ok if I got them soaked in hot water and later tumble dried in a dryer? The stretch isn't that much but a slightly snugger fit will do it for me. I do not want to hand these to a tailor to take-in and make alterations as it fits perfectly at every other part. Thanks. Let me know.

Also, if any of you guys own this pants, feel free to drop a comment if there was an overall shrinkage post wash.

I have the same problem with his latest linen pant. After 1 wash I think it's 50 instead of 48 and now I need a belt. I suggest using a belt or have s.o to tighten the waist. Regardless of its bagginess, the unexpected loose fit is super comfy so no complain here. Hot water or dryer won't help much unless you apply something and then tumble dry (will happen again after wash). I also underestimate the fabric thickness of the tailored dna 2.0. It's too skinny for my calves so it's sitting in my closet; eventually I will need to sell it. His double buckle belt is something that I like but it's not truly 48 and missing 1 buckle hole, for which it's not difficult to fix. I just need to cut the middle split deeper for practicality.

which version did you get. as i understand it a lot of the pants last season ran small. I dont know of any that turned baggy after washing. that's strange. but let me know. fabrics are generally prewashed before garments are made
