These are 2 images I found online of the copper that were fairly accurate for bright light, and one that made me nearly barf but also accurate of sheen with flash.

Has anyone gotten a linen shirt from Spier? Should I expect any shrinkage? I got a linen sportshirt and need the sleeves shortened but wondering if I should wash and dry it before I take it to the tailor
I have a linen-cotton shirt from SS22 and it hasn't shrunk in the wash, though I have had shirts from previous seasons that shrunk a lot. Maybe they've finally fixed the shrinkage.

If you’re throwing it in the dryer, absolutely dry first. I’d be shocked if there was zero shrinkage in a linen shirt. Most companies cut large to account for it.
@gonnagetmine out of curiosity, how worn is the Wheat in that picture? Full day’s wear?

Oof. As I suspected. That level of wrinkling is going to be too much for me to endure. Would be curious to see if they released a notably heavier fabric in a similar composition at the some point in the future.
Anyone reply to this thread anymore?


Will this suit be restocked? No sizes left in stock at all in contemporary.
Pretty easily accessible info. Yes, to your question.

Where is this information accessed?
I mean, the internet? Unless they're just lying (which, I mean, odd, but perhaps), I've had confirmation from both the SM CS team and on Instagram that both the Navy and Charcoal suits will be restocked. ETA around mid-April. I'd take that with a grain of salt given the supply chain issues currently, but somewhere in that general time frame.

No need for the ******* smug and dickish sarcasm. Some of us don't live on Instagram.

You should absolutely wash it. Dry at your own peril. Maybe wet the sleeves and dry for a bit.

Thanks everyone. I'll give it a wash first just in case. I definitely meant just hang dry, not put it in the dryer :) was just trying to indicate I wasn't going to give it to the tailor sopping wet!

huge grain of salt. I asked rick last year if they would restock all the nice flannel pants in like October and he said there was a big shipment with a restock of all pants. We all know that restock never happened. That being said, this year they brought most stuff in a bunch of sizes and amounts plus a bunch of new stuff too so I believe there will be a restock for this
