Torn between the Guabello Blue Texture and Navy Blue Solid as my first S&M suit / suit for everyday office wear

Navy isn't boring, it's a basic. As for a second colour, I'd suggest brown over grey.

Rebuilding or starting a wardrobe should have some planning behind it. Know what your budget is for the next year or so. If you can start right, think about seasonality - warm and cold weather.

Just a couple lessons I've learned.

Appreciate the help. Might consider the brown herringbone, donegal or something similar to those as my first brown venture.

What do guys that have bought these tend to want to pair with it? Asking for a friend, ha.

Start basic. Mid grey wool, khakis, pale blue and white shirts, simple textures. Lock that down first.

Makes sense. So the grey donegal trousers with the brown donegal jacket may be too much of a good thing as far as texture? Go with something more of a basic grey wool? I have plenty of that.

Thanks for helping. I am making quite solid progress over the last year or so.

Um, when I get a box in the mail I open it immediately, haha. No need to let it age

There was a discussion a while back about sweatshirt sizing. I suggested that as a 42L, I would size up to an XXL. My XXL hoodie came today.

I’m sure I could go down to an XL, but I wouldn’t prefer it. I definitely wouldn’t go larger than XXL. I hit my target.

Fits great! Are those SM chinos?

No, Epaulet. From the last run of Garands (RIP).

@colHolm Has helpfully informed me there is one model of high-rise trouser coming this season, but does anyone know what it is and when it might be arriving? @spiermackay ?

I'm kind of surprised there's only one, as the two fresco models seemed to sell out overnight.

you're a 42L and XXL for the hoodie that makes me concerned with my XXL LS polo order being 46R.

I wouldn’t draw too many conclusions across product lines. The LS polo sizing is confounding to me. I would want the shoulders of the L, the chest of the XL (or at least between the L and XL), and an arm length longer than the XXL. If I had to wear SM’s LS polos, I would pick the XL and push the sleeves up my forearm.
