Just ordered some shirt collar polos. I will report back once they arrive.

 

[Spex]

Didn't want to go too crazy with the polos until I evaluated the fit...so I only ordered 3 (navy, white and light grey). Since the total was only $90, I had to find something else to reach $100 to qualify for free shipping. $15 sage green chinos for the win!

Is the website really slow for anyone besides me the last two days?

 

[Wrenkin]

Yes.

What part is running slow. Seems to be running fine on our office.

 

[murdochmysterie]

It's running smooth for me, not slow at all.
Also, @spiermackay any chance I could get an update on my MTM order? Anxious to get some new shirts. 15018 is the #

Loading the Custom and Sale sections was very slow. Haven't looked at other parts yet.

It's such a cruel joke when you excitedly open a new email from Spier & Mackay, only to discover it's an advertisement of a new sale instead of a shipping notice on your MTM order.

The order status "received" emails get me everytime I'm waiting on shipping confirmation haha.

Status on those OTR linen shirts? I'm halfway around the world and compulsively checking this thread whenever I get WiFi just to be sure I haven't missed the drop since I wear a common size.

Received my 3 polo shirts in the mail today, along with a pair of the sale khakis.

First impressions on the polos:
The fit is quite good, although I've come to learn that it's worth waiting until after a wash or two before really commenting. Brand new, out of the bag they are quite slim, but not tight. I do hope that the neck and shoulder width tighten up a bit after a wash, but not a problem as they are. Sleeve length is great, not too long nor too short. At first I thought the shirt length was too long, until I realized that with the dressier shirt collar I may be wearing these tucked in, in which case the length is great.
The material feels substantial and high quality. I was a bit disappointed at first that the buttons were resin and not shell, however they do look really nice.
The collar is great. In the photos I thought it looked a bit small, but in real life it's a good size. With three buttons, I will likely wear these with the first two unbuttoned.
I wasn't completely sure about my color choices, but I think I chose wisely, with the navy being good for all mid to light colored pants, the white being a bit more formal and refined (perhaps a good look under a navy casual sport coat) and I think the light grey will get a lot of use with dark denim.

Finally a comment on the khakis. The fit is very slim, a bit more casual than I would wear at my office, but otherwise they fit me perfectly! I'm glad I read the size chart, though and went with a 33 instead of my usual size 32. The material is super light weight. They were a good buy at $15. Will get a lot of summer use, probably with the navy polo.

@Spex a question on the khakis. Is the front rise high enough to tuck a shirt into? How accurate would you say the website measurements are?

 

[losrockets]

Measurements are accurate in my experience. I wouldn't tuck a shirt in, I wear my 3 pairs casually with tees and untucked shorter length shirts like the Spier madras shirts. So yes, rise is too low Imo. I take a contemporary fit in the Spier trousers but for these I quite like the slimmer fit (and lighter weight since I live in the south) . Looking forward to the next iteration.

Glad you are happy with them! RE: Buttons, it wasn't feesable for us to use shell on this run. Our quantity couldn't justify it, or it would spike the price. Resin is the standard, until you really get into "luxury" level of polos like Sunspel or the like, but the jcrews, lacoste, RL are all resin.

These will shrink up approx 3% in a warm water wash and dryer, so should fit really great after that, length and all. They were designed around this fact. If you prefer no shrinkage, cold water and air dry will yield close to zero shrinkage.
