That's really tempting. 1% stretch isn't a deal breaker for me. I probably get 1% stretch on some of my denim from repetitive wear. same here...just always worried about any of these styles as falling too short..... |

By "falling too short" do you mean fitting short? See my pics in the thread, it actually has a really good length about it. |

All good questions - no, I don't own any yet. Was considering this sale to take a flyer on them as well. Clearly they are popular since they essentially sold out that quick. As for restocking, I think they restock maybe every other month or so - at least that seems to be the trend of late. I have a three pack in large all worn no more then twice. If you want to test me out I'm happy to let go cheap I'm interested. I will PM you. |

yeah they do seem to be standard trucker length. It's a nice looking trucker but it doesn't seem longer than the average trucker. Also the sleeves are short. Measurements probably don't work out for me.

Not sure if it's the cut or the size on you... I'm 5'9 1/2" and 165, and proportionate (no long torso in this instance), and that's the medium I received. I have since hot soaked it and only got a little more shrink out of it - it fits optimally now. I just remeasured, and per the exact line they took, my vertical length on my Ironside is 25 1/2" for a medium. An inch over spec. But I'll take that over an inch under spec. This is probably why I'm debating a small in the Double Black. |

I was able to acquire on of their lightweight crew neck T shirts and I'm really impressed. Very nice, soft, lightweight fabric. Good construction, crew neck circumference is at that good middle ground between too big and too small. The fit also works really well for me in a Large. It is a good balance between being a modern/athletic fit but with some room while not being boxy or baggy. Length is good too although I can't afford any shrink on this but they say on their website that they are pre shrunk.
Really happy with them overall. I definitely recommend them and I'll probably pick up some heavyweight ones as that's all they have available right now. I will definitely pick up some more lightweight ones when they restock.

I came downstairs today for the first time in my Tapered Cramerton Chino's and my wife who never says anything much about my clothes says "thats a really good fit on you".
Yes, it is, and they are so comfortable. So I sent Mik this email and now I wait.

Hi Mik,
I cant tell you enough how much I love your product and your pattern for the Tapered Cramerton Chinos.
1. What would the jean equivalent of the Tapered chino pattern be?
2. Would you consider doing a custom fabric on the Tapered chino pattern using another fabric? I’d love another couple pairs in olive herringbone and black.
Thanks man. Keep up the good work.

I have some 21.5 in the queue.

Guess you guys have convinced me to try the Cramertons. They are definitely solid. I didn't think I'd wear mine as much as I do. They've moved right into the regular weekly rotation and have been my go-to pair for "date nights" when I don't want to opt for indigo denim. Very versatile and the fit is on point. I do have them in the denim cut. |

I also have to add the construction on the chino (as well as the 160z cone) is outstanding. In comparison to the three pairs of gustins I tried, it's laughable. Although I should say that unlike every thing else gustin I've tried my indigo X indigo pair is flawless....

Just took a look at a July post earlier in the thread....if I read it right.....the tapered CHINO appears to match up with the slim straight denim, although I'd like to get confirm on this

For example, the 32 Cramerton Chino lines up in the waist to the 32 slim straight, and all other measurements in the 33 slim straight denim. So factoring in shrink and how you want them to fit, you should be able to figure out what is ideal. The fit guide is pretty close to specs (at least in my initial measurements for my Cramerton in the jeans cut size 32). |

He did get back and with good news. - NC Thanks so much for the feedback - it's emails like this that let us know we are going in the right direction product wise. We will be adding a black and a military/olive green. Hopefully we can get those done in the Fall. Thanks for your support! Stay Raw, Mik Serfontaine Founder & Floor Sweeper |
