    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    I'm a 36S in sportscoats/suits and I ordered a 38S in a peacoat. It's definitely a little more snug than I thought it would be. I can wear it over a jacket, but ideally could've used a little extra room in the chest/waist. Wearing it over chunky sweaters and layers makes it less snug, of course...

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    I'm wondering if people that own a Spier peacoat could comment on how warm the coats are? I'm looking at a peacoat from last year, currently on sale, with Zanieri wool listed at 680gsm fabric weight. For reference, I'm in the US in Minnesota, and own a proper parka for when things get very cold...

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    I got an initial reply to my email asking me to confirm my order number. I replied but then didn't hear back for a couple of days again. Then got a reply saying there had been some glitch and the order information hadn't been transferred to their shipping system. They created a manual order then...

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Just chiming in to say that I really don't understand the shipping discrepancies with Spier. Sometimes they'll ship right away and other times, like my current order, it's an eternity. Order placed on Aug 1 and still hasn't shipped. Two weeks? That's unacceptable and I'm still waiting for a...

    Has anyone purchased and can give sizing advice and/or pictures of the short sleeve cotton knit sweaters? Looking at these: https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/burgundy--cream-stripe---cotton---short-sleeve---crew-neck-25462494-sscnk-s-ss23

    I'd been considering getting that same shirt. Do the collar and cuffs have the pique texture or are they plain?

    Saphir cream leather shoe polish leaving a sticky residue on boots?

    I've not heard of that before. Perhaps you used too much and it wasn't able to absorb? Had you cleaned/polished the boots before or were they still as-is from the factory? You said you buffed it after it dried - did you use a horsehair brush or soft rag? What kind of leather are the boots? You...

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Not directly related to the newly posted IG previews, but are there any general thoughts on Abraham Moon vs Bottoli? I'm probably going to pick up some trousers in the sale right now and I've narrowed it to high rise herringbone Abraham Moon lambswool and high rise Donegal Bottoli trousers.

    ALLEN EDMONDS APPRECIATION THREAD EDITION 2O22

    My first was a pair of merlot Park Avenues in early-mid 2000s (either late college or early grad school gift; I can't remember when exactly). My parents bought them for me and they were bought at a local menswear shop (sadly closed now). This was my first pair of "real" dress shoes that also fit...

    Perhaps a stupid question, but I'm looking at this sport coat Medium blue twill and I'm wondering if the wool twill finish would look out of place if matched with regular wool trousers? Would there be a mismatch with textures?

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    I'm curious about the widths on Carmina's women's shoes. On their size guide, they don't differentiate between men's and women's widths, but with American shoes - as far as I understand - a women's standard width is a US B? With Carmina, are women's shoes with lasts in their EE width truly a US...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    Thanks for all of this, it's incredibly helpful. I might look into the Simpson last (Adelaide shoe looks lovely) to try out an OTR shoe. I'll take your advice into account when/if I catch one of their custom-fee MTO specials. I assume they don't do those too often. Your shoes look great! And...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    Thanks for this info; it's very helpful! Are you able to wear any other lasts from Carmina? I would really like a pair of wholecuts (maybe even as a more versatile alternative to opera pumps), but I'm somewhat dubious of the Rain last. Though if I went that route, I could get the wholecuts on...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    Hi guys, I'm looking for a new formal shoe to wear with a tuxedo and full evening dress. I've not purchased Carmina before (nor any European shoemaker) but I've been drawn to the stylings of Carmina. One issue that's held me back in the past is that I have a foot that's fairly narrow. I can...

    Advice request: New formal shoes needed

    I'm in the market for new shoes to wear, primarily, with formalwear (tuxedo and full evening dress). The main problem I have is my foot runs very narrow - this makes it very difficult to find shoes that can even come close to fitting. For reference, some of my standard dress shoes are Allen...

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Has anyone ordered and received the high rise chinos? I'm curious about the waist sizing, if it's more casual/vanity sized or true to size. I've looked at the size charts, but I'm not always convinced! I ordered these corduroy trousers last month and while they do note they run true to size and...
