    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    I agree, my view is no doubt biased by my own preferences; I admit as much in my comment. Surely SM knows their business better than I do! They do have a tendency to be very responsive to comments on SF. If you like the SF-style, that's clearly a benefit. It does create the impression that...

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Catching up on this thread, I'll add my two cents. I wonder whether the net effect of Styleforum-suggestions on SM has been good or bad. Personally, I've gone from buying a couple of trousers and jackets a season to none in the last few seasons. Trousers were the first things I bought at SM...

    I'm consigning a bunch of items that are ending tomorrow. I thought I might point out a few here: Everyone's into the outdoorsy fisherman aesthetic. This long bill J. Peterman cap fits in well with that: https://www.ebay.com/itm/353576423221 Likewise with this Stormy Kromer cap. USA-made...

    I like some of these novelty leathers that you've been doing by preorder. Any chance of doing something in a shoe, rather than a boot? The kangaroo has an interesting texture and seems like it would make a nice Derby or Longwing.

    I have that AE belt and the color in person is much darker than online. In tone it is similar to GS's coffee suede or possibly the 'maduro'.

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    I'm new to the MTO program having just received my first order, but I'm very pleased with it. I put in an order in late September and received it today. So, it took about 2 months. The fit came out great. I'm between a 42 and 44 contemporary, so I usually opt for the 44 on the assumption that...

    The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

    I thrifted this Valstar corduroy field jacket recently and was initially pretty excited about it. Then I found the materials tag later and noticed it's polyester. So, now I'm not sure whether it's a nice find or not so great. Practically, I guess it doesn't really matter as I like the way it...

    How hard is it to shorten the sleeves on a Sinclair/Doyle jacket? I find them to be 2" too long, but with the working button I'm not sure who can do that kind of work. The lady at the dry cleaners does a great job with my suit sleeves, but I'm not sure she could handle this. Maybe I am wrong.

    Have the opposite problem - the sleeves are too long. I wish there was an option in the MTO to shorten by more than 1", as that didn't make much difference.

    Happy New Year. I was wondering when the custom Doyle's from November are expected to be ready? Have a good trip.

    I hope that things will continue to be posted here rather than just on instagram. I'm sure instagram is good for pictures, but I find it impossible to find anything on there. Sometimes I see someone mention instagram on this thread and I go over there to try to find out what they're talking...

    As a matter of fact, I had the same thought and ordered the 8track last night as a Sinclair. Really looking forward to that. I share your enthusiasm for the Sinclair. I was surprised by Mike's comments a while back that the Sinclair didn't sell well. I think it's a versatile shape and is...

    The Grain Ottawa boots are excellent, as expected. Been wearing them a lot and the sizing advice to go up to an E from a D worked perfectly. Thanks. The blue suede pics look great too. I think the GS shade of blue is really very nice and I prefer it to some of the other examples that have been...

    Grant Stone - Official Affiliate Thread

    A question about sizing: I am considering to get a GS boot this Fall and I have bluchers in the Leo last that are very comfortable in a 9.5D. They are very snug on the sides (I am not sure of the exact word for this perhaps the waist of the shoe, or the quarters). As I tend to wear boots in cool...
