    The Official Wine Thread

    As a rule, I drink red wine. That said, the greatest wine I've ever had was a little white from the Coteaux du Layon region. I've attached photos of the bottle and the glass to give you an idea.

    I've been wondering about Le Labo stuff. Presumably, you recommend it?

    I'll make sure to take and post some photos of the English Cut once I have it in hand.

    Has anyone experienced the English cut or the Cavendish Full Canvass models? I've just ordered both.

    The jacket feels great but I am admittedly slimmer up top than down below. As I have said, I'll check the measurements again tonight and then report back.

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    So I went back and looked: the measurements on the website indicate that the waistband should be 29.5 inches and the hip should measure about 36.5". I'll measure the trousers tonight to see if they match up, and I'll also take my own measurements (which I haven't done in a while) and figure out...

    Well that would be my exact experience. Like I said, it's not big deal and, for the price, I would never complain about it. As long as I know in the future, I'll be fine. I was just a little lazy in shopping -- I didn't look at measurement guides since, as I say, I've never before had a problem...

    A Sam (and David) Hober Tie Appreciation Thread

    Wow! The price of these ties is really extraordinary, when you consider the quality of the material and the make. I'll have to place an order once my clothing budget is replenished.

    It is the first time I've bought high-rise trousers, and I do have larger-than-normal hips relative to my waist size, so that could be providing the challenge, now that you mention it.

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Yeah, I understand. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I wonder if S&M's standard 28" waist is smaller than most other companies'. Most of my 28" trousers measure at about 29 1/4" and fit very comfortably. As I said, I'll measure the trouser waist when I get to the tailor's this evening. I...

    No, I haven't had the opportunity to take a measurement yet. I will measure tonight and cross-reference the site. I am also aware that, in general, S&M does allow for swapping trousers on most of their suits, so it may be a case of needing to size up the trousers on my next purchase (this one...
