That’s pretty cool - and frankly, your jacket looks way nicer than his...

So, this is weird and never happened with any of the half dozen or more Spier jackets I own, but I’m curious if anyone else has found this... My breast pocket is defective and too small on my new neo PoW jacket. It is about an inch smaller in width than the pocket opening, there’s also a hole/gap between where this shrunken pocket bag meets the top of the pocket. Probably a poor description but having trouble getting a picture that illustrates the issue.

Also, I assume this was a design choice, but I find the interior breast pockets to be way too deep. When I put my phone in, it slides all the way down and sits on/over my belt! Based on this, it disrupts a bit of the natural drape through the waistline. I’d prefer it to stay within the drape through the breast.

Last chance, fellas-

I have the much-coveted cream flannels in 32 contemporary that I am about to return. I'm sending them back Friday but will happily pass them off to an SF member if they want them. PM me if interested!

Just got back from the Drake's store in London and had no intention of purchasing but just looking around, until I saw the shawl Collar cardigans.......

Was just about to drop £400 on the navy lambswool until they had no stock in my size (phew). Ended up walking away with a 30 gauge merino crew neck

S&M needs to get into the shawl collar market before I find my way back there and do something i'll regret!!

If you can shave 10% off for the same quality take my money today!

For knits it's all about the yarn. The knitting machines are almost all the same. There are a few post processing washes that affect it too, but for the most part, start with really good yearn and you'll get a really good sweater.
