FAQ time:

Do the Sal fit exactly like the Lorenzo except no pleats?

Can an exception be made to order the NMWA x Eidos cut pants as separates? (You know for when I want to wear a belt.)

It doesn't matter how many options and variants we offer, the first question is always "can I have something else", isn't it?

Always wanting more. I'll have to go home and try on both pants to see what fits best and put in some orders.

So, does the Sal fit more like the NMWA x Eidos suit pants or more like the Lorenzo. I am primarily concerned with the hip, waist should be fine.

Stephan Schneider SS2018: FOAMALITIES
For next spring/summer, Stephan Schneider took his inspiration from foam. All kinds of foam!

We decided to have as much fun with this as he did, and this season's pre-order is all about paring things down into a few core styles, all available in the same selection of our favorite fabrics.

We're offering three styles of shirt: the classic plain collar button-up, the short sleeve with button-down collar, and our favorite (don't laugh!) the polo.

Polo Bubble


The fabrics include lightweight cotton poplins in the signature foamy mcfoamface colors that took the most direct inspiration from the collection: a pale yellow, a pale pink, a pale mint green, and (you guessed it) a pale blue.

The other options don't necessarily have as much to do with the theme of the collection, they just happen to be beautiful fabrics in their own right. There is a very cheery sherbet plaid (as I'm calling it), and two beautiful linen hopsacks: one a navy and white broken houndstooth, and the other a fine stripe in beiges and browns. My advice? The polo in the navy and white, and the long sleeve in the stripes.

Sal and Lorenzo have the same rise (higher than NMWA), leg shape (more tapered than NMWA) and leg opening (slightly smaller than NMWA). Lorenzo has pleats so a bit more room in the top block.

Just tried on both the Lorenzo and "NMWA" suit pants at home. Wish I picked up a pair of Sal from previous season to gauge fit some more. Do not need another suit right now, so, I think I'm going all in with the Lorenzo. (If someone has both the "NMWA" suit and Sal pants, what are your thoughts on the two fits?)

A proper albeit poor photo of the NMWA x Eidos birdseye light wool suit. I don't think I even need to shorten the sleeves or take in the waist of the pants. Just a simple hem and I am going to ask if the hip can be let it a tad to accommodate my 'seat'.

I do not have any odd jackets but that gunclub check linen is pretty great. How does it compare to previous gunclub check jackets put forth by NMWA? The jacket seems to make a consistent appearance albeit in slightly different makeups.

I got a jacket made up in a different fabric from this Solbiati heavy linen bunch. It's a pretty fantastic fabric--breathable despite the weight; smooth, canvassy feel; decent drape; wrinkles enough for character but not so much to be annoying. This one looks like an awesome choice of a summer sport coat.

Of course I bought one pair of the "high rise" Rotas and they wear so much better on me than the mid-rise variant. Luckily it was before I put in my S/S preorders but the 3 F/W preorders that I just got emails about are all mid rise. Ah well. They still fit, I'm just a bit spoiled with how comfortable the high rise is relatively speaking

Eidos DB cream jacket pre-ordered! So, it looks like I have 6-7 month to decide if I want to keep the original buttons when it arrives, or trade 'em out for MOP for (maybe) a bit more versatility...
