To add, there is some bad stuff in FW09 too. I just walked through Barney's and I swear half of it was plaid shirts.

Absolutely, but it was also the norm this spring.

For me, plaid's jumping the shark. I'm waiting for Apolis plaid any day now...

And we have tons of brands putting out plaid shirts to ensure this is the case...

Here's another look at AA SS10, including the Rapha collab. I kinda like that green shirt, except for the epaulettes.

tonio: I'm getting the utility trousers from Context in brown this week...I'll report back and let you know.


Me too, and the chinos as well. I'll chime in when they come on Tuesday. I'm not sure how the sizing is going to work out to be honest.

Me either, Farinellis and Context disagree on the measurements. Went with a 33 even though my normal tagged size is 31.

Remember Farinellis measures the waist flat, without dip. While Context measures it with a dip, so the measurement is slightly smaller.

Cool, thanks for the notice. Any differences in thigh? That's what got me.

Yep, I did the exact same thing. Interesting to see the differences in measuring methods, but I still have no idea whether they're going to be too big or not. Good times!

Got the pants today. Two notes: 1. they're not the chocolate brown on the website, they're washed chocolate brown. gf described them as having "eggplant" undertones, they look great in person. 2. go TTS on these. I went one size up b/c of thigh measurements and they're baggy all-around.
