    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    I am about the same height and a bit lighter and take 42. If I was a few pounds heavier I would probably need a 44. There is no way I would fit in a 40. So yeah, start with a 42.

    They do have sales on holidays (Black Friday is coming) and at other times as well (such as end of season sales). However, their stock are not huge and more popular items will often sell out at regular price. Finale note: the website advertises when only 3 items or less are left in your...

    Mislabeling a product is definitely an issue that should never happen.

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Every time I asked I received an answer. Also weight can indeed be confusing if you do not factor the weave and composition … VBC 4ply was a year round fabric with a typical winter weight. Some cashmere blend can be light and still for winter. I would still like it better if they posted the...

    I went to the obvious source of inspiration to see if it was by design. https://scottfrasercollection.com/collections/knitwear/products/ripley-anzio-knit-shirt If you look carefully enough at picture 5 it seems the pattern does not extend to the back either. I vote by design.

    Fresh out of the box. The lapel roll seems different than in all my other regular cut sportcoat (not that I am complaining I like this one better). Sleeve will need shortening so I rolled them for the picture.

    I asked on Instagram over the weekend. The answer is that most has been released with a few pieces here and there still to be released (the exact words were nothing substantial).

    Your explanation makes sense. It would also explain why Spier uses no fusing at all for the half-canvassed Fox tweed while they do for the half-canvassed Linen/wool Guabello.

    You are right. The tweed was Fox Brothers and while it is half canvassed, they did not use fusing. This is also from Spier but Guabello. I just checked and it is largely fused. It does seem to vary according to the fabric used.

    Not an expert but a quick check on this jacket seems to contradict that statement. I was able to pass finger pretty far and did not feel any glue. My understand as that they use some minor fusing for certain part of the jacket. I might be wrong.

    Both are very different. Covert are definitely dressier (on the formality scale I feel they are a few notches above the Cavalry twill cottons). Cavalry twill are substantial cotton trousers that would almost feel like workwear if not for the cut. They are very stiff. Very good to pair with...

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    I somewhat disagree with both of you for different reasons: 1) The body being small: I am wearing a sport coat with a tie and have my wallet and phone in both chest pocket + my arms are not completely aligned. I assure you there is plenty of space in the body. 2) The shoulders are a more...

    Yes. 310g wool blazer.

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    It is not that cold outside today but I think your concern is justified. It does feel like the chill can get in. I don't think I would wear on a real winter day unless I put some serious layers underneath. Even then I would not try below approximately -10C. On the bright side, because it is...

    Hi Guys, I would like to bring a different take on a topic that has been discussed, the sizing of the Ulster. Most people seem to agree that you need to size down on this item. I somewhat disagree. My SC size with S&M is 42 contemporary. I ordered the 42 Ulster. After reading a few posts I...

    Thanks guys, I guess I feel the same but couldn't put the finger on why. The trousers are VBC flannel.

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Hi Guys, I would like to know what this thread think of this specific trouser - sport coat combination (both from S&M). I am trying somewhat tonal looks but I am not 100% convinced of this one. I also want to confirm that a simple seam ripper worked very well in getting rid of the ticket...

    My understanding as well. My bet is that the prices that Spier pays for M&E fabric went up and that they cannot honour the listing prices that they had for those fabrics in the custom section. I would not be surprised if you can still order them MTO but that they are now more expensive. This...
