I guess I'm starting this one off with some pretty underwhelming stuff. In the mail, I received a package from Lands End and a package from Dann Online.
From Lands End I received a pair of long rise chinos. I was kind of disappointed that even their long rise traditional fit is still shorter in the crotch than what I'm used to from Bills or O'Connell's. They're also kind of large in the waist, I suppose due to vanity sizing or whatever. Oh well, I guess you get what you pay for.
From Dann I received a pair of Berle pumpkin orange chinos, which I've been trying to find for a while. For whatever reason Eddie Jacobs, my usual source for Berle, couldn't obtain them. These are a real disappointment as apparently Berle has changed their fit and really shortened the crotch. I had assumed they would fit like all of my previous Berle trousers, so I ordered them pre-cuffed and I doubt I will be able to return them.
I think my lesson is that I should just get all of my pants from SSEW from now on, as they will give me the generous 12" rise I want and all I have to do is ask.
On a brighter note, today Chris at J. Press finalized my order for a custom unconstructed sport jacket from Southwick.
