I'm considering giving their chinos and maybe their sports jackets a try. Guess I'll have to check out their sweaters too.

Their chinos look promising, especially the cotton twill ones for the price seem like a great deal.

What don't you like about the jackets? I was considering picking one up

Might just have been that they don’t fit me well - but I found the sleeve and shoulder area to be more rigid and structured than I preferred for comfort, and also I think hurt the fit. But could just be personal stylistic preference and fit. In general I prefer those areas pretty unstructured. I’d maybe consider trying again in a size up, but I’m just pretty certain at this point I want Italian style tailoring so not bothering Pants are pants though

How did you find the pants sizing? I wear 36 in almost every brand but recently ordered some Spier & Mackay 36s that were WAY too tight.

I called and asked for measurements. I think they take returns too? Fwiw I also found the Spier and mackay pants fit to be just terrible

A few of their pants have sizing tables in the images, pretty sure they do 2 cuts, one pleated and one flat front Damn, I'm not the biggest fan of highly structured jackets. Guess I'll just have to look elsewhere. Thanks man!

Fwiw: I am now an O’Connells simp. Bought their standard Pleated Khakis and now I’m having a hard time wearing other trousers. I’m a 36” true waist and the 36” fit perfect.

Have you bought any of the Gabardine Cotton variant? The website says its lighter weight which is perfect for where I live but didn't know how they compare to a regular twill

I have not. I’m eyeing them as well so I’d be interested to hear your thoughts if you pull the trigger.
