Ditto re: any restock. 

It's almost finally happening...

RESTOCK

[EdH]

Copped (in 3 colours), thanks gentlemen, especially for working the Bank Holiday.

After a lot of consideration, I went for these and the olive version. I think I will be wearing these two colors the most.

Unfortunately, as I had to order right while getting off of work, I didn't get to add hemming and a note regarding another request, but I sent E-Mails afterwards to clarify. Oh, and my voucher didn't get accepted and I was afraid that they'd sell out in the meantime, so I placed my order first and then reported via E-Mail that my voucher didn't work and asked for my voucher to be added post-purchase...

A lot of post-purchase chaos, but I hope to receive two really nice pairs of chinos in the end. Can't wait, will update soon.

@EdH Did you go 1" smaller or TTS in the waist?

[EdH]

@cityofdelusion TTS, based on where my best jeans have stretched to. I’m not expecting any stretch in these.

[cityofdelusion]

@EdH Nice, I did the same exact thing. Hope we're right

Did you allow enough room to cuff? My inseam is 30 inch. Not sure how much to hem to allow for cuffing. Any help would be appreciated.

[goosehd]

@dlrarmy Just my $.02, but I never cuff chinos as I prefer them to be hemmed to length. I always thought that they look cleaner that way.

[cityofdelusion]

@dlrarmy I agree with @goosehd on this one.

[EdH]

I cuff until I've tried them on and confident on how much I want cut off. Which is usually after wearing for a few days, and playing with the cuff, leg stacking, and allowing the fabric to conform to me before I'm 100% on where I want it to be cut.

[cityofdelusion]

If there is no shrinkage to be expected, my rule of thumb is: I'll add 0.5" to the perfect/ideal length that I want my trousers to end up at in order to account for the shortening of the inseam caused by natural and frequent wear.

Example: Perfect/ideal length is 27", hem at 27.5" and with wear, the inseam will lose approximately 0.5" and end up being 27".
