I am now on week 16th waiting for a pair of pants. Manny said he would be shipping last week but I am yet to receive a tracking number... hoping it happens this week.

To shed a bit of positivity on this thread, I'm wearing my chambray military trousers for the first time today.
Over all, I'm fairly happy with them. They were free(Remember when this all first started, and he gave away a few free pairs to forum members?), so I don't have much to complain about.
They were made to spec for me, based on what I sent them, and I think the measurements are spot on. My only BIG problem with them is the camouflage pocket liner that he used... I think it takes an otherwise good looking pair of pants, and makes them look like "off the shelf fashion pants". Aside from that, there are some things with the pattern that I think could be improved, due to some unusual pulling/puckering that I haven't seen in any other pants that I own, but it could all very well be due to my body shape (Big quads/glutes), and not the cut/pattern.
After only 1 wear, I do plan to machine wash/dry them this weekend. The chambray used (It's been so long since I ordered, I don't recall exactly which one it is) is so starchy, and it just looks too pristine, overall. I'm hoping a wash/dry will soften them, and dull the appearance a bit as well.
Outfit pics coming later this evening (Lately I prefer to wear my clothes at work all day, and take pics when I get home)

Shirt showed up to my brother's house and is typical insanely high quality. My pants are here but I haven't tried them on. If Manny can get communication and timing down it's impossible to beat the quality for the price.

Finally tried on my replacement pants from Indigogene. They don't have the flap rear pockets but the fabric is a good 5 oz heavier. Fit is perfect and Manny sent back the slightly too slim pair as well. Edit: just noticed this is selvedge too.   |

Nice to see the olive drab dyed Cone finally back in Manny's capable hands (Instagram). I remember seeing that roll of fabric sitting at the company that shall not be named and ordering a shirt that the AZ government is helping me to one day receive.
In all seriousness, I think I may reach out for a shirt. Good looking fabric.

If he is back in production mode, this is a much better deal for me than other companies I am aware of that would fit me. |

I emailed him and he said he's not running specials and limiting orders to make sure he can kee delivery schedules tight. I love deals, but these semi-custom and custom guys should price to balance demand (which I do in my business) and price.

Got my 17oz cone remakes in. They're perfect. Exactly what I asked for and the pocket bags are SWEET.

I want one of those Noragi jackets pretty bad. Manny, can you do sleeve length modification?
Edit: They seem to go down to the wrist. I like the look of other Noragi jackets I've seen that hit mid forearm or so.

So I am really considering a Noragi jacket. What do you guys think? Should I leave the sleeves alone so they come down to the wrist, or have them hit mid forearm?

I prefer the shorter forearm length for that kind of jacket, otherwise, it just looks too much like a chore coat

Just commissioned a pair of chinos in 9.5 oz chambray with a zip fly because my current hatred level for button fly chinos is pretty high. Hoping for a quick turnaround for summer wear.

I talked to a guy from his shop Saturday who said my pants will be here by this weekend and that Manny was making some changes to the process. I am willing to tolerate some time delays for the custom aspects and quality.

I wanted to copy that olive dyed twill above as well and asked for a new list as well but Manny must be busy pumping out stuff. I'll remind him in a little bit. Also, he has a new cell number in case you wondered why he never responded lol. I was texting his wife he said.

Doesn't "modification" fit in to the "custom" category?
