It's not easy to pivot in the current landscape particularly when you layer on the supply chain woes.
On this ... understandably, people who had an issue with the raised armhole would raise concerns in this thread. But I'm wondering if there are more folks like the poster above who are fine with it and just haven't spoken up.
That’s the way it usually goes, right? A couple years ago, three or four guys who disliked the armhole posture of the Neo jacket lobbied hard for raising the arm holes. Those like me who were fine with the cut as it existed then said nothing. Fast forward two years, you have raised arm holes, more unhappy people, and the proponents of raised arm holes have gone silent. ?
Again raised arm hole doesn't equal to restricted upper body movement.Spier just couldn't do a proper higher arm hole.And breast pockets also went up with the higher arm holes, which shouldn't have happened.A failed experiment.That’s the way it usually goes, right?

Yours and the other poster make this jacket looks almost gray purplish. Is it fairly accurate to the website pics?
More gray and less brown than I expected but not necessarily bad, just different. Armhole is a little bothersome, not my most comfortable jacket. Shorter than ideal, and I'm not crazy tall at 6'1".
It does a bit short to me as well, perhaps try a 42R? That seems to work for me better. I’m comparing this jacket to my sondrio from ‘19 but I don’t wanna get it if it’s too similar
Thanks. That looks a decent bit darker and browner. Not sure if it's enough contrast to buy another if it were me, especially if the armholes were potentially better then. I'm really thinking of returning due to the armholes. They dig into the front delt area.
Jacket lengths in long are almost always shorter than spec in my experience (not just SM, but other brands too). It's very annoying.
I'm just gonna chime in that it's better to split new cuts as separate models.
The button has been discussed. It is not non-functional, there is a loop on the opposite lapel of the sweater which allows closing the cardigan up higher than just using the main, larger buttons.
