These are the closest you'll come to the heydey of American t-shirt manufacturing in cut and quality.

What's the length on the Levis? And the price of both the Brooks and Levis?

Btw, I have a pair of brand new chinos that I bought at Kent Shop in Tokyo last fall, size 32. They are either Kent or VAN Jac brand; I forget which.

It's been a full year and I've not done anything with them. I just finally brought them to my tailor to be hemmed and cuffed two weeks ago, but I'm not sure if he's done any work on them yet - I hope not! I just purchased a deadstock pair of 60's chinos on Etsy and I've decided to sell these. I called my tailor this morning and left him a voicemail, asking him to set them aside and not do any hemming. I emailed him as well, so hopefully he gets the message in time.

Anyhow, I'll be offering them up in a week or so - as soon as I pick them up from my tailor! Hopefully unfinished and in the same condition as I bought them a year ago. Worst case scenario, they've been cuffed and hemmed to a hair under 30 length (I'm 5'9") and might work well for some of you.

I'd like to get $80 for them. They're wonderfully made, durable, very nice cotton (not twill) and pretty good rise of approx. 12"

I'll post pics sometime next week... I dropped dozens of articles off at my tailor on the same day and right before the holidays too, so I'm fairly confident I can get 'em back unfinished!

I'm passing on the Brooksflannel, Ollie.

Shoes now provisionally taken.
