Those looked great! If my thighs could've fit in them without the waist looking like a pair of clown pants, I definitely would have picked up a pair.

[jay-cy]

yes, they‘re really slim. I opted for the #2 version which is supposed to be more „roomy“ but even this is on the slim side like a 666-cut. Can‘t imagine the #1 cut… Twiggy?
Anyway, the cut below the knee is gorgeous - not really a boot cut but close...

just in case someone‘s interested: Langlitz tan Wills leather jackets go on pre-order today…

Fit pics of your shirt and trousers @jay-cy ? Interested to see how they look!

[jay-cy]

Try to make some this afternoon… - had the pants just hemmed by 2 inches...

[jay-cy]

here are some quick fit pics as promised…

Looks great!  I love the color and texture of that fabric. Flattering cut, too.

Nice! What size did you go for on each item?

[jay-cy]

Thanks all!
Yes, the fabric of the Guthries is fantastic. I expect a nice creasing and stacking.
I went for size 34 in the pants. It‘s a 36 waist. Initial one hour cold soak led to about 1/3 inch shrinkage but easily stretched back to 36. Ellen was so nice to give me the „real“ measurements - very nice service there.
I had the unhemmed but 36.5 was too long since I don‘t want to fold it. Now it‘s 34.5 inseam.
The shirt is an XL. Still has some room to wear it over another shirt as a light jacket. It‘s not as thightly cut as IH shirts but I like it this way.
With IH I am size 44 in jackets & shirts and 36 in pants.

I love those @jay-cy
I have a pair in my basket on the Ship John website, but VAT, duty and carriage is brutal and I’ve stalled.

[jay-cy]

yessir! Getting them to Europe adds another 50-60% on the price tag. Shipping around 45 bucks, 15% customs, 19% tax… 
But how did you get one in your basket? They‘re sold out at the moment...

[Streetwise Hercules]

Some sizes are available it seems.

£150 for the jeans, £115 to get them to me.

Hmmph.

Jesus that’s crazy! Here’s hoping when the black Townes shirt is back in stock Aussie customs don’t screw me….

[Streetwise Hercules]

Sorted.
Having them delivered to a friend of my better half who lives in LA and is travelling to England on Saturday.

Bosh.

@jay-cy my Guthries have arrived and I love them. A little bit of shrinkage and they’ll be perfect. I see you’ve cold soaked yours, but have you washed them yet? Just wondering what to expect before I try anything.

[jay-cy]

I just gave them a 2 hour cold soak and then line dried. Nut much shrinkage.
According to Ellen there‘s not much shrinkage to expect with this fabric. I assume maybe about half an inch after a 40 degree wash. It stretches a bit with 3 weeks of wear now but not much. Again about half an inch at max…

[Streetwise Hercules]

Thank you.
I’ll report back if I discover anything wildly different.

Saw that!  I was hoping they'd do a Townes in a light grey.
