@spiermackay Technical question on the Neapolitan cut: when you say the lapel is 4" wide on a 40R, do you mean along the seam (red line below) or perpendicular to the bottom point of the notch (blue line below). Also, is the image below of a 40R suit? trying to figure out the proportionality for a 46R (is the lapel bigger for a 46R?)

Technically measured perpendicular to the lapel rolled edge, so somewhere between the 2. Product pics are usually done on 38 contemporary samples.

Buttons are darker than the color in this photo. Couldn't get a good photo .

Thanks, looks great!

so like the green below? are the lapels the same size on the 46R or are they much larger (say 11cm/4.25in)?

This is correct. They are scaled. On a 46 they are 9.8 cm.

the pic you are looking at they are 9 cm

Is it possible to specify inseam length and cuff options for dress/casual trouser orders by adding the notes similar to switch out belt loops for side adjuster? @spiermackay.

Really don't want to go to the tailors every time I buy a new pair of trousers.

Is it possible? @spiermackay

 

[spiermackay]

Is it possible? @spiermackay

Yes. But once a garment is altered it's not eligible for a return.

Great. Thanks for the confirmation! I am based in the U.S. So it doesn't really matter to me regarding return eligibility. Great to know this is possible!

*sigh* I'm in the same boat. Didn't make so many orders though (gotta keep my wallet safe...). Chest size went up, waist stayed the same. I am 40 Slim no longer (tight). Neither am I a 42 Contemporary (too big). Might be 42 Slim? Dunno. Thinking MTM is the route for me.

S&M service is stellar.

Sounds like a lot of anticipation for online MTM! You may have luck with 42 slim though. It is definitely noticeable going between slim and contemporary.

I personally went from 32R to wearing 36R now. I'm probably more of a 35R but upper body is still broadening. Hopefully, I can stop before surpassing 36!

There's an apparent lack of data points surrounding the SM shoes. I pulled the trigger on a pair of black adelaides with the current sale. With the sizing advice on the website, I went for a size 7. Will report back on the fit of the last. Are there any pictures of the shoes in the wild? Haven't been able to find much, other than a Dappered review.

To aid fellow members, other sizes that I typically wear include:
7.5 E in AE 65
6 UK in Loake Capital
6 UK in Alfred Sargent
39 EU in Vass F

I would pay upfront to have the in house tailor alter inseam and waist.

@spiermackay any chance of denim coming in 2019? If so, what part? Still looking for that jean with a slight taper, and an extra-medium rise (11.75-12 inch rise on a size 34 waist) that won't cost as much as a fine sport coat.

*Can't believe I just typed such a specific thing...I've been on styleforum too long.

Good God, high rise denim (I would consider a 12 inch front rise "high") with a tapered leg is a menswear unicorn. Much sought after, rarely found. Someone make this OTR and stop me from going to Luxire to have a pair made.

I can make it if people will buy it. I'll keep it less than $100 too.
