Anyone here that has a view on how SM trousers compare to SuitSupply?
I prefer SuitSupply for their wider range of fits. SuitSupply use to carry almost exclusively skin tight pants, but they've released a lot of looser fits in recent years. Whereas, I find that I have to size way up in Spier's contemporary fit to get a comfortable fit in the seat and thighs, and then have the waist taken in. I also find the rise to be pretty low on Spier pants. Never tried Spier's high rise or new Hollywood fits though.

Ordered a few of the shirt collar polos and are close to unwearable after the first wash. Bought an XL and I am 6'1", 200lbs, muscular build with a longer torso and I cannot raise my arms to head height without it pulling up to reveal skin. For reference, I am wearing Levis 501 denim which is not high rise but man the body on these polo shirts is short. Also the hem likes to flip over so you have that look at well.

I'm close to your size, and I've found that ordering xxl works out ok with the cotton sweater polos. The regular polos and the merino wool sweater polos in xxl still shrunk to a point that I find them unwearable. The shrunken ones make for a nice oversized fit for my 14-year old son though 👍

I went with XL as the XXL dimensions seemed too big. Will look for something with a longer body now but maybe these will work for a more casual look?
