Small questions thread

who makes these trousers? a specific name for them would be really helpful.

christos - I do believe those show tell-tales signs of Gareth Pugh.

Here's something similar in grey, incorrectly labeled as Rick:

I believe curiouscharles is correct.

[christos]

thanks to both of you

Rigards eyewear

Hi everyone - posted in culture - eyewear - but thought this might be a better place to ask:

Just found this company http://rigards.com/

Has anyone handled these frames? I noticed that they are stocked at H Lorenzon and L'eclaireur.

Am desperate for new frames and would love some input

[cjbreed]

has anyone handled these in person?

what is this fabric? looks kind of like fleece?

[jskidder1]

The fleece-like appearance is because they are sprayed with concrete as a treatment. The fabric itself is a heavy smooth cotton. There was another version in the same fabric without the treatment that was fairly common at many stockists.

Same pants as above, but the zoom shows a little better detail:

IIRC, the concrete treatment ones run small.

Guys, i need some info on M.A.+ leather jackets please. Are these types true to size, or one size smaller?

[the breaks]

that looks longer in the torso than usual for ma+

my interest is piqued

There's the Introduce Yourself thread. Black jeans in 32. For dress pants, go to your local tailor.

Thanks for the info....I have a pair of new standard currently and they are too tight in the thigh so they sit in my closet now...I wish they fit...I have pretty muscular legs and can't find anything that works...

Any more ideas aside from custom?

[Shucks]

so, i just picked up a black jil sander suit from my tailor.

she's hemmed the legs for me. but she's done the inside ribbon so there is about a millimeter of it going below the actual fabric of the legs. and it's folded over itself slightly too so it is a bit more stiff right by the edge. it's very neatly and carefully done and she explained that this is how they always to it, and it is to protect the fabric from wear.

BUT, IT DOESN'T LOOK CLEAN AND MINIMAL. it's like there is a 1 mm seam or stripe at the bottom.

i understand that this MAY be a traditional and functional way of hemming pants, but i have never seen it before and i'm not sure i like it...

what do you guys think? should i get it redone?

[Dane]

I would get it redone.

[messenoire]

I would get it redone.

seconded. get it redone.

[lowrey]

I've seen it done that way, but I think its pretty pointless. a simple turn and stitch is fine imo

thanks for the good info

does it have a rough texture? the feeling of concrete on your pants?

[jskidder1]

Not really. I actually own a cotton/cashmere t-shirt with that cement treatment and it's still soft. I imagine there may be some variation among individual pairs, but it won't feel like sandpaper or anything like that. I would also guess that on pants it would evolve nicely with wear.

This just can't be fully closed...no matter how hard i pull the straps
