SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

I’m interested in those as well. Hopefully price is not too high. I love denim shirts but have had mixed results. They fade quicker around the collar and other places. I love the one I have from spier and it’s lasted a long time. I had one from suitsupply that the collar faded so badly after the first wear I had to get rid of it.

Our denim is woven in India and IMO is superior to what I've handled from Albiate. Both softer, silkier and holds dye better.

When are the denim shirts going online? And will any of the non-button down versions come back in stock?

What does "neo" mean? Is the hopsack similar in breathability to a fresco fabric?

I thought Brooks Brothers was making things in Thailand? Including some full-canvass pieces.

Good to know. I have no idea. I'm curious.

 

[spiermackay]

But that doesn't answer my question. How much natural stretch can we expect with the fabric the chino's are made with, 5-10%?

Assume 0 for a cotton twill.

This. Wasn't aware of the full canvas production though.

Yeah, I've seen it in store. They advertise the full-canvass feature prominently on the inside of the jacket.

Yes i have one of the Thai-produced full canvas jackets from BB. I have to say that it’s quite well made—on par roughly with S&M as far as I can tell.

Vietnam isn't equipped to make this level of quality in quantity. They currently are good at making simple garments, like t-shirts, sweatshirts, etc. Something as complicated as a canvas suit will take several years and a lot of infrastructure investment to do. Also worker training. The factories we used brought in resident technicians from Italy and France to train the staff. I'm not saying Vietnam won't get there, but they aren't there yet. Same goes for areas like Cambodia and Indonesia.

Thank you for the response. I fear this was the case.

You can probably pick up all 5 for less than that. Maybe we should increase prices?

Naahhhhh. Still be a helluva deal though, even if you did!
