I purchased the IT50.
I didn't even know about the adjustable waist buttons until you guys mentioned it.
By default those waist buttons are fully extended with the fabric making the IT50 36" waist.
Each Waist button removes 1" from the waist turning the IT50 34".
That means the IT48 will be 34"> 32" if you went that route.
I still haven't decided on keeping it or not. I have fairly big calves and they stretch the fabric making it look a bit odd but just barely. I still have about 15lbs to lose but I don't think I'll lose much more from my calves. I have been thinking of starting yoga to stretch my calve muscles out so it may work out in the end. Really these pants are meant for people with somewhat of a chicken legs going on and that's not me.
Sizing aside, whats the quality and material like???
1st rate IMO. I looked at mine quite closely and didn't see obvious flaws in stitching and the material feels luxurious to the touch. Best pair of pants I have ever owned. Which isn't saying much because most of my pants came from Tip Top or Mark's Work Warehouse which are all low quality Chinese crap.
I was in UK London's Covent Garden store yesterday, they have a number of Classic white shirts in stock, as far as sizing is concerned size 40 is 15.5 collar.

Did you pick anything up?
Hi, nope was in a hurry to get to a meeting but they seemed to have quite a few different sizes on the rails. Hope to get back late this week.

I agree, I was super pissed when I read it too, not like I did not know sorta based on the rumblings but still. Did NPeal have to go into so much plot details to sell a sweater!
I asked her about the cords from the Scotland scenes, if they were dyed, or not, and she said, "everything we use is customized, broken down etc.. we are not a shop but costumes... everything was from last year. The trousers were not dyed but aged , so the color might have changed." So I think that we can refer back to the info I got straight from All Saints, saying that the cords were the Corduane Iggy Jeans in Bitter Choc., but we may all have to hit the dye to get the same colour, as they were last season.
Jany didn't remember which collarless undershirt from All Saints was used. I think that jonny-dh is right (post 162), and that the shirt is the Burnett Long-Sleeved Henley:
When I spoke to the Press Office, initially they said, "oh just say it was the Saints Long Sleeved Henley, nobody would know", but then recanted, saying that it couldn't be, as it was only released in July, and he was just guessing. I didn't realise that they are 2 different Henley shirts! So it's definitely not this one, which, as you can see, has slightly raised "collars", when compared to the Burnett Long-Sleeved Henley:
I also wanted clarification on the Tom Ford scarf/shawl, cut down by 2/3 to make the Scotland scarf. It was a SHAWL, so don't go hunting for a scarf by TF.

Hey Nick
Dont fancy picking me up a 43 classic white shirt if in stock???
I think also that one of the costume department went simply into a COS store and bought the shirts for the movie without attracting a stir.
But what do you thinking about the COS tie? COS have two black ties on there website with different numbers (977930-09 and 402490-09), but the specifications are the same and they look similar.

I have the new model black one and saw the old model blue one in store they look exactly the same, been told they basically get a new number each year they are produced but they are the same

Thanks for the info.
Last week when I' ve bought the COS classic shirt, the seller told me the same thing about the annual new numbers of the shirts. Strangely he could not tell me anything more about the disclosures at theirs website and at the store they had just only the corduroy and striped knitted tie.
Now I ordered the black woven silk tie.

Do you mean the shirt cuffs? I thought those weren't JS.
Hmm - mine seems fine unless I have Mr Gadget arms or yours are short lol
I suppose if Jany confirmed, then it is. But the email received from COS on the previous page of this thread has cast my mind in doubt....
Well COS are simply unaware of it - thats all!
But what do you thinking about the COS tie? COS have two black ties on there website with different numbers (977930-09 and 402490-09), but the specifications are the same and they look similar.
