How do you wear it as a suit? The color seems very bright mustard yellow which when combined even I thought it won't see much use. Separately worn it's a different story.

Haven’t had a chance to play around with combos yet. Jacket came in this week and is still at the tailor. Primarily I will be wearing as separates.

When would you wear the black suit? I always thought that navy and charcoal grey were a better, more versatile choice than black, which tends to be very stark.

I have the other 2 already, but there are occasions such as a few weddings where I am part of the ceremonies and have been asked to wear black.

Just catching up on ironing this afternoon and I’m reminded how much I love this madras linen button-down collar popover from a few years ago:

Pretty sure this is 100% cotton madras boss. I have one and I agree the fabric is pretty fantastic. The only downside is those sleeves shrunk to the point that they were comical so I now have a 15.5 slim vintage red madras check popover with probably 31in sleeves that I'll sadly never wear again.

Any thoughts on the Navy Donegal?

@spiermackay Is there an ETA on dress shirt restock (esp purple label white fine twill)? Thanks!

That sucks. Can you have it turned into a short sleeve shirt?

Would love the mtm program to offer high quality cotton fabric under $200 us for dress chinos with either single or double pleat. Very hard to find these days.

I sadly didn't grab it before it was gone in my size

Can anyone who has gotten this season unpadded two button jacket comment to the fit vs neo cut?

I've received 38R Contemporary in both - they're nearly identical.

The Neo is 1" longer in the back. I also feel like the Neo has a slightly narrower armhole and arm width, but I may be imagining that.

They're at the tailor, so I can't tell you right now. I'm also having the sleeves narrowed, so I won't be able to tell you when I get them back, either.

So if I usually wear 38R Contemp, I would order 38S in the Neo?

I have a 38R contemporary in both neo and regular cuts from this season and they don't fit differently enough that I'd consider a different size, but YMMV.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but do the 40r suits ship by default with 33 or 34 waist trousers?
