Anyone buy a MTO sport coat this year? just wanted to see if you think the chest pocket is too high or not before I pull the trigger on one of my own after hesitating for a couple of months!
Ok i’ll go look for it! Thanks for the info!I posted a picture of a MTO sport coat that I received late February a few pages ago. It was the normal cut (although with a longer length) not the Neo.
You're the groom! Congratulations! Wear whatever you and your bride want.Wow, this helps immensely, thank you so much!
I really do prefer the look of the DB in the POW so I may head that direction. I was curious about the visibility of the waistcoat so maybe to make things simple I could skip that if I went DB. I'm in agreement on the ticket pocket/flaps as well. I guess my next concern would just be baseline fit of a DB compared to SB from Spier. I'd assume they should fit the same.
I definitely assumed the opposite on the formality of POW vs. Glen Check vs. solid, thanks for pointing that out as well.
I'll run the colors and DB/SB+waistcoat by my partner as well to see what she thinks before moving forward. Again, can't thank you enough!
Thank you as well for the reply! I will be the groom so no concern there
I certainly agree with you about how that DB looks - I actually was really interested in the thicker fabric, full canvas Hardy Minnis POW, but I think I would run too hot with that.
I had a DB SC MTO made a year or two ago and since Spier 42 slim OTR fit me well I used almost the same OTR measurements with a few minor tweaks in over all length of sleeve and coat and it came out great.Wow, this helps immensely, thank you so much!

Full canvas too! I think I'm gonna save up for when the grey suit drops
Haha I had the exact opposite reaction to full canvas. For a light, airy fabric I wish they would've gone with half.Full canvas too! I think I'm gonna save up for when the grey suit drops

The origins of various plaids come from the uniforms of people who worked at Scottish estates, identifying them as employees of that estate. It was the original workwear! There's also technically a difference between this kind of plaid, where the colorful blue windowpane is offset from the base gray plaid, and the the kind where the colorful lines form the outlines of the bars that make up the base plaid, like this one here. https://www.carnet.it/en/new-york/7062-overcheck-in-pure-virgin-wool.html Derek went into detail once about the nomenclature, but I can't remember it now, but I do remember that only one is technically PoW check.
I'm not big on matchy matchy weddings, but one very subtle nod might be to have the colorful windowpane part of your suit match something else at the wedding, e.g. something your partner or members of family or the wedding party might wearing perhaps? Would make for some cool pictures for anyone paying attention, without being too gaudy, and your suit will be very wearable in the future.

My two cents FWIW. I think it’s harder to get a really good fit with a DB jacket than with a SB jacket. The button stance, length, and body shaping have to be more precise to look good. If you don’t already have a DB pattern dialed in or already have a good sense of how the RTW DB pattern fits you, I’d personally go SB for a time-sensitive project like my own wedding.
At 6’ I’d think that the 36R is short on you? Definitely add some length to the jacket. Be sure the waistcoat is long enough as well if you are getting a 3 piece suit.
Congratulations by the way!
Hey man, whatever keeps you from blowing more money on clothes.I can't buy any S&M suits until they lower the height of the chest pocket. It's just too damn high and it gets on my nerves.
