This may be silly but you could consider the same type of button Bonobos (a decidedly not techwear brand) uses on their chinos (http://www.bonobos.com/khaki-slim-straight-leg-pants-for-men-the-khakis). It's a sort of clasp thing looks like a button, I guess.They might really restrict the stretch, but I don't know, food for thought.

All that aside, just wanted to say I love your stuff, keep doing what you're doing!

Speaking of tailors, what tailors do you recommend the most in NYC? And how do you know a good tailor from a bad one if you've never gotten anything done with them before? Are there "tells" like when you walk into the place or in their customer service? I've been too afraid of giving my tailor anything but simple jobs like hemming on pants and shirts for fear of her messing up a more complex alteration.

I personally feel that what Kim Davis has done is entirely unacceptable. What measures do you think need to be taken to ensure that gay couples are able to get the marriage licenses that have been promised to them by the federal government? If states can make their own legislation on the issuing of these licenses then how can we guarantee marriage for gay couples in more conservative states?

That's actually awesome!
