My experience has been about 1” max. Most of the cuts have very little excess fabric.

This. The jackets that I have are only partially lined so it is easy to look at the seam allowances. I’d say 1 inch max as well.

This look is incredible. I wonder where you were headed out to. I sadly can't get past the pants being too sheer and returned them. But this is making me reconsider

Big fan of how the new shorts turned out and hope you plan on doing another run of them in the future with additional colors. Bonobos was previously my go to for shorts but not only do I like these more but they're less expensive.

Ok so that is the first feedback I've seen on the shorts. Good to know.
Will grab a couple.

Can you tell us more about what you were a fan of?

Apologize in advance for my pasty chicken legs and it's surprisingly hard to take a good fit picture of shorts so I had to get a little creative.



The material is just the right thickness for shorts in my opinion while still being pliable and soft to the touch. Material feels a hair thicker than my bonobos shorts. Front pockets are especially deep, ending just a couple of inches above the leg opening. Double button on the waist feels more secure than the sliding clasp and I like that the contemporary fit has a slightly higher rise than my other shorts. Overall, they're just well done and the bundle pricing especially is a very solid value for the quality in my opinion.

Can anyone with the lightweight oxfords confirm that post-wash the sleeve length matches the tagged length exactly?

Just trying to determine this factor before ordering.

I keep looking at multiple people's pics of the cream linen suit, and on all screens (my phone and computers) they seem different colors. The jacket seems more yellow-cream and the trousers more white-cream.

Is this just me/my phone/computer?

Or is it a figment of the non-lined trousers showing the white skin underneath compared to the jacket showing nothing? I notice the trousers are fairly see through.

I'm with you, and I didn't notice it until @induere_to posted right after I did. I went back to my post to see if my jacket was the same, and sure enough the jacket does look different.

In the flesh, to me, it's not noticeable. More often than not, I plan to wear as separates so I'm not too worried about it. Though, hopefully wearing as separates doesn't exacerbate the issue when worn together.

Ordered two shorts. I went with my regular size (34 Contemporary) that is ok, right?

Yup, should be good but if you're unsure I think there's a separate size chart for shorts.

Cannot reiterate enough how absurdly amazing the SM Neo base is for MTM. It’s light years ahead of the typical outfit. Amazing stuff.

I see it too, it's jarring.

I just washed, hang dried, and ironed one of the light oxfords today, and there was a very very small sleeve shrinkage, probably less than a quarter of an inch. The sleeves, as well as cuffs did get just a tad trimmer as well.
