    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    New to Spier & Mackay and had a few questions about their suit offerings. Do they have "staples" that are offered year round? I look at the suits, and I would guess their $368 offering in super 110 would be their "standard" suit? If so, how often do they restock sizes? I see my size missing in...

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Just found about this brand and the suits look quite nice for OTR. I plan to pick up a suit in the coming weeks. Do they offer coupon codes or discounts? What would be a good price for a suit from this brand? I took a peek at the sale section on the website and it looks like many sizes are...

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

     Sorry, what is SA? And you mentioned contacting you for pre-sale. Would that apply even if I am not in Canada?

    When is the Next Brooks Brothers Sale?

    Man, I just read that they had a 40% off accessories earlier this month. I am looking to buy the Filson duffle. Any idea if the 40% off after Christmas sale will apply to accessories? Any more deals to be expected on Filson?

    The streetwear shoes and boots thread...No sneakers please

    I need an opinion on these boots: I just picked these up for $15, yes $15. Any recommendations for replacement laces? Should I treat the leather with anything? I haven't worn Timbs since high school. (When I was in my Wu Tang phase.)

    J. Crew Fall/Winter 2011 Discussion

     What are your measurements? It seems like a lot of people size down on these J. Crew jackets. I got a medium and im 5'11", 178lbs, 40R chest, 32 waist... hope it fits!

    J. Crew Fall/Winter 2011 Discussion

    Just picked up the woodland jacket in navy. Kinda rolling the dice on this one since i cant find a picture of the jacket being worn by someone ANYWHERE on the internet. Oh well, hope it looks good.

    MEGA PEACOAT THREAD - 61 threads merged - all Peacoat questions HERE

     Hi Peacoat, Doesn't look like the buttons were moved. The wool is pretty flawless and it looks like the buttons are evenly spaced on either side of the jacket. (Equal distance from the edge on both the left and right breast.)

    Lands' End Canvas

     I assume the sleeves are much shorter in the small as well? The sleeves are already short on me in the medium, I imagine a small would be much worse... I just hate how wide the bottom of the jacket is!

    Lands' End Canvas

    The jacket is zipped in the 2nd pic. Should I try taking it to a tailor to have the waist taken in?

    MEGA PEACOAT THREAD - 61 threads merged - all Peacoat questions HERE

    OK, one more post asking for thoughts on fit. Here is my 1962, 38R peacoat: I am about 5'11", 180lbs, 40" chest, 32" waist. To me, it looks a bit boxy. Does this mean I need a 36R? On a suit jacket, 36R is WAY too small for me. Thoughts?

    Lands' End Canvas

    Would you guys mind checking out my fit and letting me know what you think? I'm about 5'11", 180lbs, 40" chest, 32" waist. I like the fit in the shoulders and in the sleeves, but the waist is a bit boxy. My problem is often that I have pretty broad shoulders and a small waist, so I always...

    Lands' End Canvas

     Got mine in yesterday. I wore it out and not quite sure if I like it. The cut certainly is boxy, as everyone else has already mentioned. I also am not completely sold on the collar. Its too big and floppy to stand up, and turned down it looks a bit plain. I'm wondering if I would have liked...
