Made in Portugal, but that also means there's a chance of pattern alignment. This is not a skill that seems to exist in California. I know the text says that, but the sewn product pics have a 'Proudly Made in California' tag inside the collar. At this point I'll take suspect alignment over non MiUSA goods. The fact that they moved their Chino production to Spain (and shipped me the wrong size last order) has me avoiding those now too. TS may just be off my radar if they're gonna offshore everything. Well after receiving the RATIO email about new Madras fabrics these TS fabrics pale in comparison and remind me of used clothing finds in a thrift store. When I think of Madras, I think of vibrant colors, and these TS Madras are simply dull. |

Also, J-Crew just released their real deal made in India madras shirts, and they're half the price and nicer lookin'. EDIT: Disregard. Those pocket alignments on the J-Crew are horrendous. |

I wish they didn't have the one with a perfectly aligned pocket. I suppose I could go shop in person, but then I'd have to see people and such. With 30% off, I could get three today, before TS answers my email about where theirs are being made. |

Then I saw the other trainwrecks haha. |

I bought a JCREW shirt yesterday. I'm wavering from the MUSA thing, I need stuff that fits.

Does anybody here have the chore pants? If so, care to comment on them? Considering getting a pair, but am concerned that they would be too hot/stiff for late spring through early fall weather. I have a pair. I like the pants and love the fit, but I think they are going to be pretty hot in the summer, double knee and all that; they have been great this spring. I wouldn't say they're "too" stiff, no. Moderately stiff. I'll probably buy at least one more pair in the fall. |

I agree with bentin , I like the two madras shirts. I agree with you two, and I feel like the red one is along the same colorway of the iron heart 137, not saying it matches - just reminds me of it...I find this to be a good thing. |

I wouldn't say they're "too" stiff, no. Moderately stiff. I'll probably buy at least one more pair in the fall. I have three pairs and I concur about the great fit. But depending when they were sewn up, my camel feels lighter and was sewn up bigger compared to the ash vinter one I got. That one sewed up a tad smaller and feels burly to me. My last pair is the moto chore jeans which I have yet to wear and debating on selling. All three pairs of mine are a size 34 and never washed yet. The Ash one is buttery soft while the camel one feels/looks like carhartts. I do agree I get warm in mine pants working in 70-90 degree weather but at least I'm losing water weight lol. |

Did anyone grab a pair of the Huntington Middies? 2656% funded on the deep navy. I'm thinking these could be a good casual pair, especially at $70 (20% off).

Dropped in TS earlier and tried on the camp shorts but sizing felt off. My usual size 34 was a no go and the size 36 was perfect but my gf said the leg opening looked weird on me.
No samples of the short sleeves or any of the new stuff funding right now.
Almost stopped by self edge but decided to get some Peruvian food with my Lady haha.

I assume the leg opening looked way too big when you went up 2 sizes? A flashback to JNCOs?

I know the canvas was stiff and not draping well but it turned me off. As long as the legs aren't too small, that's what I was concerned about. Think I'll take a shot at a pair. |
