Suitsupply has been steadily improving their custom made program over the last few years. They recently released a whole slew of new trouser customization options that allow you to choose different pleat options, waistband options, and more.

Read moreTPL Picks: Abercrombie Linen Blend Pants
I can’t recall exactly when or why it started, but I have been on the hunt for a pair of jogger-style, cream/off-white linen pants for a while now.

Charles Tyrwhitt continues to expand their offerings. While they won the hearts of many well-dressed guys with their shirts (and their many fits), Charles Tyrwhitt has been adding to their store things like great outerwear options, suits, pants, chinos, casual shirts, polos — you name it, they offer it.
