Just when I decided that I needed Camo rivet chinos in my life, 31s are sold out. I suppose I could eat Peter Pan donuts until I'm a 32.

You'll get there faster with Krispy Kreme bacon cheeseburgers.

I'm really excited to be one of their accounts. Anyone who knows me will attest that I wear Fred Perry MIE polos five to six times a week - all year round. I've been doing that for the past 17 years or so. I love these shirts.

Wow, there really is a bit of Mod deep down, huh.

Awesome... I need to expand my own Fred Perry collection.

You're welcome.

Received my first Epaulet shirt the other day, doublefaced charcoal tartan in large, and the fit is quite spot on. Sleeves (a particularly trouble spot for me), shoulders, chest and all are perfect. The shirt itself feels great and looks even better. Much love

Does anyone here own any JCrew pants? What cut do you wear (classic, urban slim, etc.) and how does the fit compare to the Epaulet rivet chinos? Rise, seat, thighs, etc.

I size up one from my urban slim size, fit is similar probably slightly slimmer in thighs and lower rise on eps.

Very tempted by the remaindered Streaky Smiths.

I'm a 36 in Nudie Average Joe but wouldn't want the waist much tighter. Should I go for the Smiths in 36 or 35?

Thanks

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the first batch of Smiths required people to size down 1 from your normal jeans size.

So I got a pair of gunmetal chinos the other day and have worn them twice already. I'm no stranger to the fit of the rivet chinos"”best fit ever"”but there's something notable about this particular fabric. The color appears differently in changing light; it can appear straight gray or have a cast of green, blue and even (in shadows) brown. It's chameleon fabric!

Another slam dunk, Mike.

I got a 36 and that was just right for me. I'm a measured ~37" waist, and the waist is just a little loose. The thigh was the deciding factor though, as I am a rower and these are (nearly) skin tight. They've stretched a little bit with a few wears.

Cheers guys - I'm just over 37 measured. I've largish thighs (24") but it looks like either size will fit thigh wise. I'm a 34 in Levi 752's, 36 in non-stf 501s, but a 36 in Nudies Average Joe is as snug as I'd want to go in the waist.

If you're a 36 in non-stf 501s, I would assume that you would be a 35 in the first edition Smiths. I think Mike would be able to provide the best answer though.

Thanks - best to PM him or does he check in pretty regularly?
