Iced tee mist color restock?

Question for anyone who's worn Armoury shirts with the conical cuff (like the 100Hands RTW models): are you able to wear a watch? They seem impossibly narrow at the wrist.

I get my Armoury 100 Hands shirts custom to account for longer arms and they can adjust one wrist size for a watch I believe! I love the conical cuff but they’re a bit too narrow for most of my watches.

I’d also say the cost for MTO is basically the same as RTW and the turn around is shockingly fast. They say 6-8 weeks but it’s always been 2-4 for me.

Yeah I’ve done a couple MTO through them as well, and I’ll probably stick with that going forward, but had wanted to give their standard model a try. I guess I find it a surprising design choice for such an otherwise watch-oriented shop.

Has anyone done a custom tie through a TieYourTie trunk show? There is one coming up, and I'm curious about experience/pricing.

Yes. Experience is good. They bring a set of deadstock and other fabrics. You choose your fabric (s). Then get to pick all the details. It been a while but I think you can adjust length, width, choose three fold or seven fold and hand rolled edge or tipped.

I am sure each of these things has its own price, but I think my tie ran me $250.

Overall, would do it again, the choices of fabric alone make it worth it.

(Edit, I did the TYT trunk show at a different vendor than the Armoury, but experience should be similar)

Got it from Drop93 November sale - A real bargain !

i've also done custom ties with TYT and have been very happy with result. i was able to pull the fabric of a specific suit since they had the book to work with the TYT team to find some more interesting color/pattern combinations that i probably wouldn't have thought about myself. pricing ran from $175 - $250 a tie depending on the make-up you selected.

i actually find this more beneficial now given the overall relaxed trend for business attire in most sectors. i like having my few very good very appropriate ties for they are needed.

Isn’t that cheaper or same price as off the rack?

i guess that would depend upon the make-up of the ties you're looking at, but yeah, it doesn't seem like it really costs that much more for the custom option.

Long shot, but does anyone have some fit pics of ice tee?

Alan is wearing the navy in the recent lookbook: https://www.thearmoury.com/journal/portraits-at-pedder-ss-24

Can anyone speak to the fit and quality on their more recent shoe offerings? The Gilman and Berkeley are both versions of what I've been looking for, but my foot tends a bit wider with a higher arch (oxfords can therefore be an issue).

Hard to tell fit from the photos obviously, so any insight would be appreciated.

Anyone tried the Hundred Series suiting from the Armoury? Looking at picking up the 104 tuxedo in midnight for my black tie museum wedding in July but it would be my first foray into this level of hit from the Armoury. Trying to decide between this and MTM. Thanks for your help

My understanding is that the cut is identical between the 100 series and their Ring Jacket counterparts, so unless you're a stickler for handwork, I don't see much point in going for the 100 series. I suppose it makes much more sense if you're planning to go for MTM either way, as opposed to simply RTW.
