Long live the Cooper Collar! We need more! #coopercollarovereverything

Speaking of, @spiermackay can we expect to see RTW cooper collars in a wider array of fabrics in the future, or are they going to be more of a MTO thing?

I Have The One From Last Year, No Ticket Pocket, They Are Sweet!

I almost bought that one but went with the single breasted instead. Yes, they are sweet.

I'd try both 38 contemporary and 40 slim. See which works best. I wear a 38L with alterations, and I'm 6', 165#, 39" chest, 29" waist.

Hmmm.....I'm looking at 44R, though my actual chest is 45.5". My shoulders are wide front-to-back, but don't stick out too far side-to-side, so I usually end up looking best in a 44R in most brands, and sometimes have the back let out a bit. I'm also a 36 waist size.

It's tricky for me to find something that fits in the shoulders and isn't baggy in the belly, or fits in the belly and is tight in the shoulders. I hear Spier runs pretty small sizing-wise and unfortunately, they don't do a slim in 44 or 46. Do you think a 44R would be the way to go, or a 46? If it helps, the Havana fit from SS in a 44R fits me just fine - I have 2 and one needed let out a bit.

In my experience, the SS Havana to Spier contemporary is almost seamless in terms of transitioning, with Spier's contemporary fit being a hair roomier. I went from a 40R in SS to a 40R in S&M and didn't miss a beat. The best thing abiut transitioning was having more room in the seat of my pants and having more normal sleeve lengths

Indeed. I copped the Premium Blue OCBD earlier in the summer. Tryna petition them to drop a whole range of OCBDs with that configuration.

How's the weight of the lining on that ocbd? The ones i bought a few years ago (2018) are not as light as I'd like.

Great info, thanks!

Anybody have a pic of the volpe suede shoes in real life? Considering buying a pair to replace an old pair of snuff suede loafers from Allen Edmonds.
Studio lights make the Volpe suede look maybe a little lighter than I'm wanting. But I'm not super dead set on a particular shade of suede, just want something in that mid-brown range.

@Betelgeuse
Is that a SM safari? What size did you take?


Did anyone who normally wears a "L" size try on a linen field jacket?
Looks like from the fit chart they might run a bit short for guys who wear "L"

I went with the 44. These are a bit longer than the field jackets as per the size chart. That's why I'm not still sure how they field jacket will look, lengthwise.

Here is my comparison of Volpe (S&M), Snuff (Carmina), Chocolate (Carmina), and Tobacco (Lof & Tung)

Haven’t seen a suede comparison so here it goes. Below is S&M Volpe, Carmina Snuff and Chocolate, and Lof & Tung Tobacco. As you can see, the Volpe has more reddish tones vs. the more brownish tones of snuff suede but does not have close to the golden color of the tobacco. This is my first...
