Meaning, in the waist? the seat (bum)? the thighs? Were you going for a more fitted look vs the intentionally full fit of the trousers compared to modern trends?
I hope this doesn't come across like badgering, I am just trying to get an accurate picture of your feedback.

[Spritle]

Yes, mainly the upper parts: full seat / front and thigh areas. I would probably have done better with a smaller size to begin with. That's the message I want those who are "in-between" sizes to understand. They might be fine with suspenders, bit if you plan on going with a belt...

[Spritle]

I really think my expensive mis-adventure could be avoided in the future by an easy to follow fit guide with precise instructions (photos with lines) on where to measure your body.
I think it would take the guesswork out of ordering.
I believe the guesswork is holding you back from reaching a larger client pool.
The fabric is great!

Eric when you measure across a pair of trousers laying flat that fit you get a measurement, that is always the best one to go by.

That doesn't work if the person hasn't worn high rise trousers before though.

[SJC]

What do you suggest?

I thought we had discussed all this before? Position of the natural waist and all that.

[Spritle]

Something like this:



I would have an illustrator make a chart of a man w/o clothing though.
Then use red lines to indicate exactly where to put the tape measure.



This should be followed up with a Vimeo link that shows a video step by step on a regular person (underwear of course).

This is the only way IMHO!

How did I get it so wrong then?
There needs to be a foolproof way to do it on the Store site, not buried somewhere on the forum.

Talking about trousers, are the smaller sizes coming back?

[Unkraut]

I assume they won't come back in the same fabric. Every run is limited edition because of the fabric.
So if you really really want something it's better to buy early. But... sometimes Simon finds returns or leftovers. I wish you luck.

[NCF]

Figured as much. Sort of broke the looking good-budget this month but if someone finds trousers in size 32 in about a month, I’m game.

[NCF]

So, the trousers showed up in 32 again, which meant that after some deliberation I bought them which means that in total I have the whole workhouse suit + assorted things from the sale coming my way in three different packages/orders because why not? I have now spent more on clothes on one brand in one place in basically one go, than I ever have before (possibly because of a complete lack of character, but I try to tell myself that this is some sort of investment). True story, basically. And I've never even seen them in the flesh so I am both extremely excited and terrified (I'll better be the prettiest bloke in the area from the get go or I'll demand a refund! ).

Oh, and one more thing - don't tell my family about this. I mean, they are bound to find out, but you know...

[NCF]

Got the jacket yesterday and found it was a bit too large (especially in the sleeves). Threw it in the washing machine on a wool programme and its much better now. Probably still needs a bit TLC from a tailor, but I havent really worn it. Will take it out for a field test for tomorrow. Figure it needs a bit of wearing before I do anything else with it.

Pictures are from before washing, and the angle is weird.

[SJC]

Hot soak hot wash will shrink a tad more

[NCF]

Will propably give that a try as well, in the near future.
