    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Anyone still running into credit card issues when paying directly on S&M's site (not through PayPal)? I just had fraudulent charges appear on my card and other than S&M, it's only used with national chains over the past month. I don't want to point fingers but I know that they had issues with...

    Any word on if the new polos shrink anywhere near as much as the one from the prior couple of years? The fabric on these feels completely different (much more luxurious, as Rick or someone else mentioned). The small fits me perfectly before washing.

    This was purchased last April, so well before the changes you mention. I may give the fine twill another shot, based on your comments here. The other shirting fabrics I've tried from S&M have all worked out well, so no rush on my end.

    I know this is a few days late (just catching up on the thread), but I tried one of the fine twill shirts from S&M and ran into the same thing. I ended up wearing it a few times before including it in a Goodwill donation bundle. I've never tried their poplin shirts, but have had much better...

    Carmina Shoes - Definitive Thread (reviews, advice, sizing, etc...) - official thread.

    Has anyone had to a return a pair of shoes or boots to Carmina from the U.S.? I'm wondering whether the shipments go to their NYC store or back to Spain and, especially with the latter, what it might cost. I thought they used to charge a flat fee for returns but don't see that mentioned on the...

    Can you expand upon that shrinkage comment a bit more? Proper Cloth shirts shrink a bit more than S&M and thus arrive a bit larger than spec to account for that? Or the other way, with S&M shrinking a bit more?

    I believe Rick had mentioned early November for those.

    Something seems off in the waist/chest area. It looks like there is too much extra fabric, causing it to overlap. Not a tailor, so no idea if they'd be able to make it work or if it'd be better to try a different size/cut.

    One more shirt question for all of you custom fans - any idea why the 100's fabric is more expensive than the 120's on this royal twill? I thought generally a higher thread count means a nicer fabric.

    Thanks! So that shirt in your picture is with the second button on the shirt 1.5" down from the collar button? I was thinking of pushing it lower and only unbuttoning the collar, but this is another approach worth considering.

    Has anyone here altered the standard button placement (i.e., second button is 4" from top button) on a custom shirt order from S&M? Before reaching out to customer service, I wanted to check here to see if anyone has done it and, if so, was there an additional charge?

    Anyone know roughly how much of a difference there is between S&M's "high rise" pants compared to traditional? The online measurements are the same. I've seen it mentioned here before and thought the consensus was that it's something minor (like a half inch difference) but would love if...

    I own two of last year's VBC flannel and three of the Moon (one from 2017, two from this season). The Moon obviously won't hold a crease like a pair of fresco or all season wool trousers, though they drape very nicely. And while neither is ideal for wearing in a warm (heated) room, I think the...

    I thought that they were all new this year compared to 2017, though I'm fairly certain the medium brown in particular is because I have them from two years ago and this year's medium appears much lighter on the website (though, going off of this year's navy, maybe that's not the best judge)...

    I believe Rick has said they had all new colors in the Abraham Moon tweed this year. Comparing the stock photos from 2017 & 2019, this year is a bit lighter, though both are very much in the navy realm. That last pic I posted was very close to being the true color when viewing the pants...

    Pants only. And while the description says medium blue, I still expect it to be roughly the shade indicated by the photos. Like I said though, I'll probably end up keeping them. I need to see how they pair with a light blue dress shirt/OCBD, which accounts for about half of my shirts.

    This one does a better job of indicating the true color.

    The moon tweed trousers in navy & light brown came in today. The light brown seems pretty close to the website photos but the navy seems way off. It's not quite as bright as the iPhone made it out to be but not far off. Still leaning towards keeping them but would have preferred something a...

    Thanks. Not that big of a deal to go out of your way on this. I'll try them out regardless.

    Taking one more crack at this - @spiermackay - Both of the below screenshots are the light brown tweed, with the jacket on the left and pants on the right. As these are intended to possibly be worn as suits, I'm guessing they're the same color in real life. Which is the more realistic shot?
