SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread
For me, sport coat. Not much of a suit guy. I'd love to see more offerings in the cut of the hopsack coat, which looks great in the images.- literasyme

Partly personal preference -- I don't love the shininess. But it also wears warm. It's one of the paradoxes of cloth making that summer suitings often are silk blends, even though silk is not an especially breathable fabric -- or so I'm told, at least.- literasyme

Any kind of linen blend without silk would be great, pure linen (perhaps an Irish Linen) would be lovely. And anything in a linen/cotton/tropical wool fabric with a not-too-loud plaid.- literasyme

The Ultimate Toronto Thread
Didn't see much of interest at Saks, I must say. Even the full-price RLPL stuff seemed really underwhelming -- overpriced RLBL, basically. Very little handwork. None of those lovely St Andrews buttonholes in sight. I couldn't see anything worth checking out on the sales racks either -- the best...- literasyme

Almost sold out of sport coats, or of the hopsack? I was going to stop by next week to have a look in person -- did they fly off the racks?- literasyme

Suit Critique Please
Ah, good old Styleforum. Where the correct length of a coat can be assessed, from the front, down to half inches. It doesn't look too short to my eyes or my taste. And since coat length is, up to a point, a matter of taste, I dare say it's not "too short." It's certainly not so short as to...- literasyme

Suit Critique Please
Coat is not too short. Trousers are not seriously too long, though they could be trimmed by a bit, depending on your personal preference. Looks like there might a slight pitch issue with your left sleeve -- side and back pictures tend to be more revealing that frontal shots. The lapels are a...- literasyme

Skyfall 007 2012 (Teaser trailer out)
One to add to the product placement list: Scrabble. Q's mug. Hated the suits -- never mind the tightness, they were also extremely Italian in styling (shoulders, breast pocket, etc.). And one of the first shots shows Bond with a cuff button undone. Please. Loved the Aston Martin, especially...- literasyme

New Toronto Brooks Brothers store opening soon
It's not just next to U of T, it's in a U of T building -- home of the English & Philosophy departments and the Humanities Institute. BB is taking over the old BMO branch, about half the ground floor (there's also a lecture hall & a couple of smaller shops and cafes on the same floor).- literasyme

INCOTEX MEGATHREAD REQUESTS
Wool/cotton blends sound great, but I'd also be interested in 100% cottons. Flat front, khakis, browns, greys. Would be interested in 2-3 pairs. Will need a 38 -- and prefer a rise of 10.5 inches or more. The Romanian Incotex can be a little snug on me. Thank you for doing this!- literasyme

Need St. Andrews and Cantarelli Suit Advice!
Neither is a particularly good deal. The St Andrews maybe, since they're difficult to find, but the Cantarelli is still overpriced (check Yoox periodically for much, much better deals). The idea that anyone would sell (or buy) a half-canvassed Cantarelli for $1900 is kind of amazing to me. I...- literasyme

Isaia Base S suit.
Base S is a very nice cut. I have no idea how anyone could consider it "boxy" -- it has natural, almost unpadded shoulders and nicely cut quarters. Armholes are fairly high, but not extreme. Waist suppression can always be adjusted by your tailor.- literasyme

Question(s) about Isaia
(2) The shoulder padding is discerningly light. While this feels comfortable, it also leaves a crease on my shoulders. I have perhaps a slightly stronger-than-usual shoulder. Some cheap suits in the past have done this, formed an arching crease on the shoulders. But my Zegna, Corneliani, Canali...- literasyme
