Cool, the grape is great but if there was a maroon on the horizon I would wait for that. There you go Mike, how about a Maroon small gingham L/S shirt next?

The overall concept of this item was to make a great alternative to jeans. Something that a denim guy can wear when he's not wearing denim. As such, it's got a medium-low rise and a tapered slim-straight leg fit. The interior taping makes it a bit more rugged. I feel that it's something original that's not merely a traditional chino that's slimmed down. I think that you'll really dig the style. And it will naturally fit a bit below the waist, so you can take whatever size you typically wear. They run true.


Thanks for the great answer, Mike! Seeing as I should get tts, when will you be getting the new batch? I just finished school and I'll probably get a summer job soon, so money for the chino's will be coming!!

Thanks so much - let me know what you think when they arrive!

It's definitely on our radar for Fall. I'm looking at a dark mushroom brown too. I'm a gingham and longwing maniac though - it's a constant struggle not to order 100 colors in each.

Unfortunately no, these are all the tan bucks that we'll get for this year. I do have a white nubuck chukka going online next week though (totally different style, I know).

Great, and yes, I'd wait for your size to get the best fit. We're fully restocking British Khaki and bringing in two special editions, so they'll be a lot to choose from in about 5-6 weeks.

Yup, here's both of the new shirts shot outside. This was the late afternoon, so there's some cinematic directional sunlight too:

Just kidding, looks like Bblessing got a hold of some of that same fabric you used for the double faced shirts. Too bad for them you guys do a much better job of making shirts. (at a much better price i might add)
