I just recieved my first S&M suit. I went with 33 contemporary trousers. They fit fine but will require a 1-2 cm nip in the waist.

Im planning on buying a suit with the high rise trousers. Which trouser size should i request?

@spiermackay do you recommend the same size for normal and high rise trousers or should the high rise be one number smaller given they are closer to the natural waist line?

Same. They are not significantly higher.

I know one member received his but has anyone else who preordered the new Minnis suits received shipping confirmation? Just curious

I got the grey fresco minnis with both 34 and 33 contemp. (Bought separately)
If the 34s don’t work I’ll let you know
I got the OOS email for 33 contemp...followed by the 34 contemp. Trying 34 slim. If you end up with a spare 34 contemp I might be interested if the slim doesn't work out

Can someone post pics of the blue bottoli jacket with brown check pattern and the blue mix slub jacket once they receive it? Very interested in them and would like to see pics. Thanks!

Go with a 35 and nip it in. You may actually like the extra leg room.

Wait, so how much wider is the leg opening and thigh width on a 33 than a 32 in contemporary? I ask because I’ve commented in the past that the 32 contemporary is right on the verge of too slim for my liking

That seems a bit frustrating. Wonder if the trousers ever get removed from the suits by the shipping department so if i ordered my normal suit size, i wouldn't get the matching trousers.

I know they order extra trousers, so I assume they only pull trouser swaps from those separates and never scavenge a complete suit.

That's what I get for waffling for a week before finally ordering!

Same here, must have been an issue somewhere. I have a couple deliveries from different places that were supposed to be delivered today and USPS is stating there's a delay. I know in Alabama we're expecting pretty bad weather today, wonder if that's why

I ordered mine within minutes of it appearing online, so hopefully that gives me some kind of advantage, haha.
