@Qinhan, I stumbled across some IH tapered chinos in the Spring/Summer 2015 Pipeline thread. They are 11oz West Point Selvedge cotton, and come in khaki, beige, and navy. You'll find them in the Dropbox link G posted halfway-down page 6. I would post it here, but it's in the "Member's Area," which would probably defeats its purpose (I'll PM the link, too).

I'll echo on the Stevenson chinos. I have a pair and they are absolutely brilliant
They look good on you too. Thanks for the suggestion.

Interesting. Thanks for pointing this out. Another option to consider although these look like they are tapered without being particularly slim, which was what I was looking for.

Just realized they don't ship outside the US, and you're in the 51st state. Let me know if you need a proxy…
This is why Chris is consistently one of the forum's best guys… It goes unnoticed, most of the time, unless you're the one benefitting from his generosity... Thanks, Chris... Cranks...

Question for English shoe experts. I was in Debenhams with the wife (yeh, yeh…), and I picked up a pair of Jasper Conran boots with what looked like a Vibram Chrisy sole on them. Imagine my surprise to find that not only was it a Vibram sole but also the boots were ridiculously heavy, looked really well made and were stamped as "Made in England". Does Jasper Conran have a deal with any of the better known English shoe makers to make their boots?
They were brown brogues and looked like the Trickers x Present collaborations, or the Grenson style wedge sole boots (Fred?). Any ideas guys? Took my attention because they were below £70 on offer.

Some years ago I had some of the Grenson boots, and a pair of the Trickers collabs. I am certainly no expert of English footwear but the quality of these looked comparable. Having said that, the uppers on the Grenson were made in India and attached to the sole in the UK.
A little Googling has lead me to find a series of footwear which Loake did for JC….wondering if these boots could be a part of that relationship.

Sorry, I didn't mean that I had bought them. I literally picked them up with my hand to look at them. Damn my regional vernacular

I understood Mega. Which in and of itself is cause for concern.

Can someone recommend me a good, plain, medium weight, zip front hoody?
-
Ok, less of a question, more overall sizing advice. Not an immediate concern but will be soon enough and really want to avoid a screw up at improper time.
Looking to move on some IH shirts over the next couple months. However my lanky build is making sizing possibilities a bit tricky. Most shirts I could wear a small based on measurements and would fit great. However accidental shrinkage could easily push them to unwearable. A medium would be a touch more than I'd like in the chest, but would be more forgiving in length if it shrank a little.
Curious as to how the regs would handle such…throw down on the small and cold wash, air dry, and always pray? Or sacrificing perfect fit in order to maintain needed length with a medium? I know material needs accounting too...

Thx Chris.!
Shipping to Can isnt an issue. I live in a border city and have a US address about 10mins away. Just gotta check what they accept for payment. Some companys wont accept a Canadian credit card (bullshit). Thats the only prob i have sometimesJDL- its always easier to shrink a shirt then it is to stretch one. Prob better to go medium and shrink it on purpose to fit u. Shrinkage is def gonna depend on the material tho
