@Darkside your suit fits very good, at leadt to my untrained eye! Thanks for sharing!

I'm pondering whether I should get a Heather Light Grey suit or just hold off and wait for the next suit drop. On the one hand, the Heather Light Grey is an SM staple, so it'll come back... eventually if my size sells out. But on the other hand, the sun's coming soon, so I'd like a lighter suit for the weddings and such (since I missed out on Heather Blue).

But I'm also keen on checking out the new Neapolitans. Wondering if I should wait or go for it. I'm only getting two suits this season, and the two in the initial drop I really wanted are out of my size, so I'm pondering maybe I grab this light grey and one Neapolitan, or if I should wait on the drop and see if there's two suits that I should go for in the drop.

@spiermackay would the Heather Grey suit be suitable for warm weather? I'll need a good summer suit for a tradeshow in Atlanta and a few weddings in the summer. Will there be a wool/linen suit coming in the next drop?

@spiermackay also Rick, for the new pre-order polos, I'm thinking about getting a couple (never worn a polo shirt in my life, haha). What would be the equivalent size be for 44 C suit and 16.5 C dress shirts? The sweaters I have are XL, so I'm assuming XL is the size I should order?

XL if you want a slim polo, size up if you want a more regular fit.

Thanks Burzan. My goal is to be like Bahamas Bond this summer haha.

Are there any current codes running? I think I missed out on the "SPRING15" code.

Any popovers before the summer months are upon us?

Hey guys, I need a quick opinion on this:

I want to get a vest made for a suit I bought last year. SM sent me a swatch for the current charcoal fabric that they have. I've attached an image of the swatch next to my suit in daylight. Now it's not the same run of fabric, but think this okay to have a vest made out of? To my eyes, it looks pretty dead-on, but I have a tendency to have blinders on

Looks pretty dead on. I can’t see a difference looking for one, which means I doubt anyone else will.

Have some linen ones coming this month.

Hey old news on the washed denim shirts, but fyi:
I just bleached a mid-wash denim shirt (from propercloth) successfully and wrote a post about how I did it on my blog (link in signature). In case any of you were on the fence about the washed denim shirts SM is selling because you were looking for a slightly lighter wash.
the process isn't scary at all (well it is, but it is easy to get it right).

I would assume that the S&M Light Wash was still darker than your PC Mid-Wash? At least based on what I have seen in photographs that would appear to be true. I read your post and am intrigued if I should give this a go.

If anyone gets the button down polo shirt, please share picks. I’m very curious what the collar would look like on someone. The spread looks wider than on their OCBDs.

There are cotton/linen trousers coming right? If so, what colors?
