Best thing about the peacoat is flipping up the collar and wearing it open. It's a dope catalogue look.

Yeah, it's great.

The only thing I would change is adding just a bit more room in the sleeves. It's a little tight over a chunky sweater or a sport coat as is. Other than that, both the style and fit is nearly flawless in my opinion.

Wow I can't justify buying a sportcoat nowadays despite how much I love this! These days I'm just at home in my t-shirt and whenever I go out I take my field jacket with me. These have become impractical for me unfortunately?

Anyway, how do I preorder one of this?

Lol, that’s the spirit!

Is this the Moon fabric they had for MTO in 2018?

Inspiration: The bold jacket - Part II: Tweed - After the Suit

I'm glad I've come to a point in my wardrobe where there is a justifiable (ha!) gap that can be filled with loud, patterned jackets. This bold tweed fits the bill perfectly - quintessentially tweed. It can be dressed up with a tie and trousers, or down with an OCBD and jeans. Here's why you...

This tweed from 2019 is so good. Thanks to @Burzan for the pic. Is it the same as the screenshot @Leanderthal posted above? I don’t go to Instagram, so I depend on the generosity of this thread to see what’s incoming.

It appears to be.

No, it's not. They're from two different seasons. The difference is the colour. One has green in it and the other has navy. This year's iteration seems to be of the same makeup but with red in it instead of green or navy.

I'm in the process of justifying to myself to acquire this year's iteration while already having in possession the version with navy in it. I hope I can convince myself when it drops ?

It is the exact same fabric. Same fabric code. That Moon gun club has always had rust and green in it.

Sorry, I was obfuscsting things. I thought one of the references was to Burzan's jacket, which has navy in it. You're correct.

With that being said, there're 3 iterations of this jacket including the one dropping soon.

What's the consensus on Dino Filarte cloth, particularly this one? https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/blue-texture-710005-8721-22152-f1h1-fw19

Is the Guabello price delta really worth it in your opinion?

Oh right. Yeah last year’s is different.

And yes it is interesting that they’re dropping this gun club at the same time as the brown/beige houndstooth.

So by all these teasers, it probably means @spiermackay has these things with photos taken and in warehouse. So, my guess is most things will be put up within the next couple weeks, and I think that our credit cards will be taking a hit lol

I got the one in black herringbone last year and I love the take on the Peacoat. Dressy, but easily able to be dressed down. Although the fabric from last year was a bit more interesting with the donegal flecks, so glad I grabbed that one.

Yes, looks like a Merino Wool Long Sleeve Polo, got one last FW from John Henric and loved it.

Last year with my Merino LS Polo, I wore it by itself as a base layer over a t shirt/undershirt, or over a button down shirt. Almost same thing as a crew neck sweater style wise I'd say.

Yes, I grabbed one of the old LS Polo's as it was on clearance. Fits me very well in the S, but could do with another 1" in the chest and smaller cuff circumference. The material is definitely stiff, but this looks like merino wool and you'll love it! Although, thinner than the cotton pique counterpart

So, two 2 sets of collars? (LS polo over a button down?)

Yea, looks something like this. Not for everyone as some say it is too many collars, to each their own

Haven't seen that with a LS polo before. Learn something new every day!

An update on the base sizes for MTO. Customer service provided me with the following base measurements for the different sizes. Bold measurements are not adjustable:

37 Contemporary:
Chest: 41
Waist: 36.6
Bottom: 43 (Hip)
Shoulder: 17.5
Length: 29.3
Sleeve Length: 24.6

38 Slim:
Chest: 41
Waist: 36.2
Bottom: 42.5 (Hip)
Shoulder: 17.7
Length: 29.3
Sleeve Length: 24.8

38 Contemporary - Long
Chest : 41.8
Waist : 37.4
Bottom: 43.8
Shoulder: 17.7
Back Length: 30.5
Sleeve Length: 25.8

38 Contemporary:
Chest : 41.8
Waist : 37.4
Bottom: 43.8
Shoulder: 17.7
Back Length: 29.5
Sleeve Length: 24.8

Armhole and lapel size will also change between sizes, but I was not given measurements for this.
The factory couldn't provide the armhole size because patterns only have straight armhole size in the computer (not sure what this means).

My conclusion is therefore that have to choose your MTO base size based on
1. Chest size
2. Hip size
3. Armhole size
4. Lapel size

I only wish I could choose 41.8 inch chest (38 cont) together 42.5 inch hips (38 slim).
