What are the opinions on ties from S&M?

I just got two in and subsequenltly ordered three more if that tells you anything haha

Very soft and the ties so easily

Ok so here’s some photos of a 42S w/ 35 contemporary trousers. These feel and look better (to my untrained eye) — what do you think? I’m willing to try a 36, but I feel like I’d be swimming in them.

I added shots of the charcoal 35 contemporary trousers with the 42R jacket. I feel like the length of the 42R jacket is better ...

What say you, gents: 42R + 35 trousers or 42S + 35? (Or @SJR3 do you still believe 36 trousers are necessary after seeing the 35s?)

I appreciate the help guys. This is a bit daunting after wearing a uniform full-time for the last six years.

I think the 42R works better than the S. The S isn't egregiously short, though, and you could probably get away with it if you prefer the more modern/cropped look.

This. But to be honest, I like how the R looks.

I like them a lot. They tie a nice knot. I'm waiting for Rick to start offering some more ties.

I would love to buy a few but am anxiously awaiting them to be available in Long sizes (62"). With an 18" neck and a 42L/44L jacket size, I really need a few extra inches. #thatswhatshesaid

Find the closest chest measurement match in the size chart. Ideally, the turtleneck is an inch or so trimmer.

To my eye, the 42R is a better length (body length). The S is a bit too S. And there really isn't a fix for that. You can take up the sleeves and nip the 42 R a bit in the waist, as you mentioned

I’m a 40 slim and a large in the V neck was pretty big, maybe it would be ok over an oxford. I ordered a medium in the turtleneck and it arrived today, I’ll snap a pic shortly.

Thanks and that would be very helpful.
I just ordered the brown donegal sport coat and also the size large Turtlenecks in burnt orange/medium blue few minutes ago but since its not yet shipped hopefully can change the sweater size to medium if thats the case.

That shirt! ! Still waiting for mine !!

I’m seeing a lot of love for the VBC grey windowpane but no pics in the wild. Anyone got some to share?

How long does it usually take to receive shipping notifications? I bought some stuff 6 days ago and have not heard from them again.

I just heard from them today for an order placed 12 days ago. So it seems to take a while. I think they are still backed up from Black Friday stuff.

Dangit. Ordered that the day they came out but the dreaded out of stock email showed up today. This isn't helping me feel better about it.
