SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

First time trouser purchase..... bought 2. Judging by what I read on the forum, I expected them to be cut pretty close to the body .... so bought them 1 size larger. But, man, these are tight below the knee. When I sit down, the pants hike up a little (normal) but when I get up again, they don't come down. They get stuck at my muscular calves and stay there. Thighs, butt and waist were all fine. Either I play too much sports or their models have chicken legs.....

Question: How big of an alteration job is this?

Did you go slim or contemp? In my eyes, Spier contemp is slim fit. At best you'll be able to pull out 1/2" diameter out of the legs. I've done it, but didn't take it anywhere so can't give an idea of cost.

Sooo @spiermackay with the MTO being finalized, is there a release date? Or still too early to announce?

I think he has learned that if he hints at a date, he will never hear the end of it.
So, SM will surprise us.

There have been lots of questions about fabrics and such that will be available. Can't wait to see the menu when it goes live.

I went "slim" but one size larger. I was going for this look: https://www.brooksbrothers.com/Mila...var_MJ00318_Color=BLUE&contentpos=6&cgid=0219

but ened up with much slimmer leg.......

You're probably better off going with contemporary and tapering the legs.

Guy may look pretty good in pics but guarantee he can barely move in those thangs!

Upcoming holiday indeed. Canada Day is on a Monday this year!

should have doubled up on these linen separates...

lightweight oxford, too - the linen/cotton shirts and these lightweight oxfords are great.

Looks awesome (I don't just say that because I have the same three pieces and wear them together as well!). I would've thought those shoes were too dressy for the outfit, but they still work.

I’m trying to resist getting the cream SC but with it seems that my efforts will be useless.

Finally put the mohair fresco through its paces at a weekend wedding.
Cannot overstate how awesome SM’s Neo is as a base template for MTM.

Love the panama. If you don't mind, who makes it?
