They turn it up and then down again.Thanks. This is news to me. I always thought they turned it up.
Since you live in Mexico City, and I'm assuming you're Mexican, I'm wondering if you try and put some Mexican flavor into your fits. Or if you are more inspired by the Italian look we're all kind of inspired by and stick with that? Obviously your personal style enters into the discussion as well.From today, S&M SC, shirt and trousers.

I can only comment on slim fit. It is just like last F/W wools. I was afraid they had changed to the much fuller slim I rcvd for the summer sondrio dark brown denim. I should have returned that one as the thighs were very, very full. It took a lot of work to get it wearable for my build.Anyone got the rust donegal? Any fit pics? And, what would you pair it with? Thanks![]()
All-time favorite Spier piece. Very, very nicely done.
Thanks Mitch! Yeap, I'm Mexican. Answering to your question, I think it would be hard to put the Mexican flavor since, from my point of view, we don't have such items of tailoring, other than the traditional "charro" suit. Most Mexican tailors/tailored clothes are a mix of British and Spanish tailoring, which isn't bad but most of that influence is back from the 50's-60's. So boxy cuts and massively padded shoulders.Since you live in Mexico City, and I'm assuming you're Mexican, I'm wondering if you try and put some Mexican flavor into your fits.

In other words, do you bring any aspects of Mexican style/culture/aesthetics to your fits?
Isn't thst the Aztec sun stone PS in your pocket? That's pretty Mexican in my bookThanks Mitch! Yeap, I'm Mexican.

Will try to find something with some Mexican influence and see how it looks.![]()
Well, yeap. In fact is the one I'm wearing.Isn't thst the Aztec sun stone PS in your pocket? That's pretty Mexican in my book![]()
FYI, There are different ways of doing a cuff, but a true cuff is ideal for durability of the hem and longevity of the trousers themselves. A true cuff uses a regular stich for the hem (similar to chinos) as opposed to a blind stitch--since the hem won't be seen--making for a much more secure hold than a trouser without a cuff. The hem is longer than the desired inseam because the fabric is folded over itself and then sewn in place at the side seams (any cuttings to reduce length are discarded, NOT sewn onto the cuff). This means that the friction point between your pant leg and shoes or the ground actually occurs past your measured inseam at a length twice the width of the cuff. So if it begins to fray, you can easily release the hem, fold back the cloth, and have either a smaller cuff or an uncuffed hem put in with the frayed section either removed or folded inside the leg.Thanks. This is news to me. I always thought they turned it up.
Just watched the process on Youtube![]()
I have the same jacket and never thought about putting it together like that. Thanks for the inspo.
Thank you. I'll probably be getting the slim fit too.I can only comment on slim fit. It is just like last F/W wools.

I bought the rust donegal because I liked the color but not sure about the pairing options yet as it is still too hot here. Mainly sweaters pairings for me I bet.
