Wondered if anyone had actually bought or tried on any of their clothes?
Really like the idea of the project and the pricing isn't too bad.
Yes I'm curious too (no Goodyear not that sort of 'curious'). The chinos sound and look good from the discussion and measurements on the other thread. There are a few other 'Ivy' friendly items I would be considering if I didn't already have those pieces e.g. Peacoat, M65 etc. Everything seems reasonably priced and I particularly like the fact that it's all made in the U.K. including Scottish knitwear.
But there's nothing like seeing the stuff for real.
The only reason I did not buy their chinos is, the shipping is pretty expensive to Austria - and the sizes I need are always out of stock. Apart from that I would say it all looks promising, especially the chinos, Peacoats, knitwear and the selvedge denims... and I like the idea itself.

Bought a pair of the chinos this afternoon. Pretty impressed - 50 quid, made in UK.
Rise on a pair of 34 x 34 about 13", hem probably ~8 1/2"ish. Hoping that I can get a proper cuff on them too, which is pretty necessary on a slightly more relaxed fit, I think.
Will post a photo over the next few days, once they've been washed. Also picked up some of their hiking socks for 4 quid or so.
I like the look of the chinos but I don't understand why they only do 32/34 length legs it seems which are too long for me.
Had a look today but just bought some socks, the camp shirt (no L on store but might get online) is nice and and the chinos are basic but a nice width. Felt a bit tight for me in a 34 though.
Number 6 shop nearby has some cheap items from English brand Several who seem to have gone out of business, very similar but slightly better finish and details.
Would love to see the Chinos, Colin when you have a minute.
Are you pleased with them?
Oh yeah, totally forgot - I'll get a photo up later on today.
On the whole, pretty pleased - decent rise, decent cut, material sufficiently heavy, good price.
Thanks Colin for posting.
They look good. Would you say more on the formal side ?
Thanks
No worries - sorry again for poor photo.
Not especially so, no. Somewhere in the middle, perhaps?
I like that their stuff is Made in England. It also appears to good very good value.
Listened to a Hand Cut Radio interview with the owner, it was really good. He started out on Saville a Row IIRC.
They don't ship to the USA; too bad.
Anyone know what the sizing is like for Community Clothing? According to their size charts, medium is more like small, meaning I need to order large. Especially since they may shrink a little. But I'm a medium in every other brand past and present, so it feels a little odd ordering L.
My chore jacket was a medium and I was worried it might be a bit tight but it's a good fit with a jumper underneath. I will be very careful if I ever wash it as I suspect it could shrink. Very well made.
Thanks. I take it medium is your normal size?
I expect shrinkage would depend on the garment Yuca, but the charts are accurate. I’m a Large with most British makers but the Medium sweatpants I bought from them were, as the chart predicted, enormous. But after a couple of washes they shrank, mainly in length, and are now a nice comfortable fit. The Medium lambswool crew neck sweater fitted me well.
Medium is my normal size although I've recently put on a few pounds
