do slim fit suits still have skinny lapels?

 

[spiermackay]

Hi Rick, looks like you've brought back the 34 size for suits, are the measurements on the website up-to-date? Or are those for the old style 34? Thanks!

Yes. Should be up to date with the current specs.

Not skinny, All above 3 1/4". What size, and I can tell you exactly the lapel width.

Yes. Should be up to date with the current specs.

So looks like no difference in measurements between old 34 slim and new model 2 34 suits?

(the 34 measurements are still listed under slim fit, not under the model 2 sizing chart). I ask, because I own an older style 34 slim suit and it fit well, but just a little tight on the waist. Wondering if the model 2 size has slightly bigger waist or exact same measurements? Otherwise, I have model 2 36 suit that after some tailoring fit well too.

Proportions were tweaked more so than specs. The spec adjustments were minor.

Lapel is 3 3/8 on the 40R slim.

@spiermackay Rick, is it possible to take a picture with the Light Grey and Medium Grey side by side?

Hey Rick, what's the ETA on the next round of OCBD?

I'll try to get a side by side this afternoon.

Shipping out of the factory tomorrow. Should be in our hands in a couple of weeks.

I would so like to take chance on one of these pre-order suits, but sadly the downtown store probably won't be open by the time the current offer expires in order for me to determine my fit (contemporary vs slim, etc).

Also - what accounts for the $50 different between certain models? Thanks.

Having some landlord and construction issues holding back the opening. It's a bummer, but we just have to go with it.

As for the difference in pricing, The Medium Blue and Ocean Blue are in different weaves. The Medium blue is a very high twist, performance wool. The Ocean Blue is woven and finished with matte/flat effect that costs a bit more, but has a great hand and semi-casual appearance - absolutely perfect for summer. The rest of the suits are in standard worsted wool, Super 110's. Strong and robust.

Just checking, you don't need an appointment to go to the showroom in Mississauga right?

 

[CanadaCal]

No. It's a regular store.

To be expected, I suppose.

Any expected opening date? I am waiting to order 3 shirts once you are a block from my house...

Also, will the new round of fully-canvassed suits, described in this post, be available?
