Do you still see it on the site, or are they sold out? Can’t track them down. I see the five-pocket cords and where the other cords are, there are two listings for the drab colored cords. But no brown
@yungchomsky has a whole brown cord suit for sale in the Spier buy-sell-trade thread:

For those of you with S&M's merino sweaters, how do you wash them? The site says machine washable, but tag says dry clean. I am used to hand washing my sweaters as none of them were ever labeled as "machine-washable"
So, do I just toss them in the wash on delicate or would I need to also place in one of those delicate laundry bags? Or should I just keep hand washing?

Love the olive linen. So versatile. Wish chocolate linen was available without trousers.

I find that the rear ‘flap’ on the linen is easily warped through creasing and no longer covers the rear. Any ideas? I wonder if I could add some interlining on the inside.

@dapperclassic would have your answer, if I'm not mistaken he is in UK

Spier do subsidise the shipping costs to the EU to make them more reasonable. Shipping via UPS to the UK takes around 4/5 business days.

You will need to pay import duty and 20% VAT on the goods, more details available on the gov.uk website. UPS will send you a request for the payment which will need to be paid before the shipment is released for delivery.

There is also a £11 brokerage charge that UPS add on to the invoice, basically that's their cut for handling the VAT and duty on your behalf.

I'm glad @spiermackay are in Canada and not in Europe or another country like most other brand I buy from. Refreshing knowing I don't have to pay these stupid fees for at least one of my shopping trips lol

In saying that, I do believe that S&M would make a killing if they open up in the EU (ignoring Covid).

I would love an European branch. As I live in Norway I would probably have to pay VAT via ups anyway. A good solution would be to have a option to pay VAT in their webstore like j. Crew does. Then we would atleast save ups' fees.

Bought the olive linen jacket, no regrets.

I convinced my wife to let it be my anniversary present. She was enjoying Whistler too much to realize what I muttered under my breath hahaha

Whistler is nice this time year. Funny how I live in Vancouver but hardly ever make it there anymore.

I'm awaiting delivery for the olive linen. Bought not my ideal size as my preferred size was out of stock. Thankfully returns are simple.

Nice to see that some long sleeve polos were found in SM's recent inventory deep dive! For all the love they get here on SF, I'm surprised they didn't get snatched up immediately. $15 US with sale code.

I grabbed a couple more LS polos today, along with a light gray flannel twill SC that will get a lot of work starting in November.
