SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread
The sizing is the biggest issue in my opinion. While I can understand their emphasis on avoiding vanity sizing for numbered/measurement-based sizes, I think that there's not much excuse for XXLs to fit like Ls from most other companies. I am a bigger guy, so this has totally eliminated any...- jake2011rt

The Pini Parma Thread
I am a bigger guy (6'2-255) who carries most of his weight on top. My legs are lean but not big by any means (I don't have skinny little legs either). SS and S&M are both notoriously slim in their larger sizes, especially compared to traditional American brands like BB (I usually wear a 46R)...- jake2011rt

Thanks. Someone gave this suit to me as a gift and expects me to wear it to an event on New Years Eve, so I am kind of freaking out about it.- jake2011rt

I asked them to measure me for a made to measure suit. My concern is less that the numbers are different, but that the hips and thighs are so much bigger. As I said, I have relatively small hips and butt, so I do not want my trousers to be too huge on my legs. I figured on the sleeve length and...- jake2011rt

I am ordering my first S&M suit, and it's my first custom suit. I am struggling a little with the measurements. I had my tailor take down my measurements in preparation for ordering, but some of them seem a bit off from the standard sizes I get when I put in my waist and chest size. Here is the...- jake2011rt
