Will the pants be made from dark green Hermès leather?
I assume that the photograph that you posted is a clever ruse.

Small time!
Shell cordovan or nothing. Mafoofan doesn't want cheap looking micro-creases in his pants, now does he?

I'm not big time enough for Fox.Originally Posted by mafoofan
Not to hijack, but I thought some people might be interested. I visited Fox in person about a month ago. They have a stock range and will send out samples, as another poster mentioned. Also, as you can see from the photo below, they have a large selection of one-off pieces. I got a beautiful heathered flannel that combines dark green and grey somehow. Fox used to own a huge mill near Wellington, and the buildings still remain but Fox no longer operates in it. It now operates out of a small building nearby that is probably 1/20th the size of the original factory. I believe they were bought and sold and reopened at some point. http://img262.imageshack.us/i/dsc01741x.jpg/ http://img255.imageshack.us/i/dsc01736m.jpg/ http://img838.imageshack.us/i/dsc01740w.jpg/ http://img708.imageshack.us/i/dsc01737s.jpg/

I'm not able to discuss that at this time.

Very cool. Everyone always says how wonderful Fox is, so I feel very tempted to try for myself one day. However, I've already got this flannel in hand and think it's pretty damned good.

I wasn't mentioning it to suggest you should switch, just thought you might be interested. Did you ever say what flannel yours is? I would guess Minnis 0300. I have 0301 and 0304 (air force dark blue) and like both.

We'll see. They already tried re-blocking the pants, but that didn't work. I'm not sure what next steps are.Originally Posted by mafoofan
you're cocky enough to post nonchalantly about your 5k suits, 1k pants, and hermes wallet purchase attempts but you're not enough of man to hold a "respected" cleaner accountable for their mistakes?

What the ****? By its very nature a forum devoted to high quality tailored clothing will involve high prices. As for "nonchalantly" how the **** is one meant to make posts on a forum, by apologising for the cost?

Demanding that the cleaner be 'held accountable' is how a small-timer would behave, a big-timer just writes off the cost and has new trousers made. From this perfepective, Foo's posts and behaviour appear to be entirely consistent.

I still think 15 oz whipcord would have been a better or at least more durable choice.

So, can you now please finally enlighten us which fabric you chose? I am still of the opinion, btw, that my assumption was not not right.
