The only option I see right now is J. Crew. Murray's Toggery Shop doesn't offer a slim fit...

Any others? Does Brooks ever put these out seasonally?

Did I see some Bill's Khakis in pink? My expereince long ago was that only Murray's faded. The rest (a la Orvis etc.) are merely that God-awful salmon...forever.

Yeah, if you want the real thing. That fabric is sui generis. I have not seen anything other than Murray's that is the same. If you encounter anyone familiar with the original, thay will know the difference.

This may be obnoxious on my part, but I really only consider the "Nantucket red" moniker to apply only to Murray's pants...you can never go wrong with the original.

I own the original and I think the special red vineyard vines are better. Murray's actually sells vineyard vines so they must think it is pretty good as well.
