Would like to hear anyones thoughts on jacket length. Would a slightly longer jacket look better?

Instinctively I'd say yes. But you'd need to button it and take full body shots from front, side and back at chest level to be sure.

I'd say you need to size up overall. The jacket is pulling around the back, sleeves don't fall unrestricted, the lapels are bending and the jacket could be longer overall imo.

Thanks. I know it pulls some and the sleeve pitch and with are always a point of concern with the MTO. As someone who I know has a lot of MTO from S&M I appreciate your opinion

No problem mate. It's wearable, but for future commissions I'd definitely advice you to size up.

hey guys! how do you care about Spier knitted t-shirt? I bought one. kinda like it. body a bit oversized but sleeves is super slim. not sure how it'll behave in washing machine. I'd like to get a navy also, but not sure how much they shrink. without shrinkage I'd size down. with shrinkage, I'm not sure. problem is, its last one in my size...

I have the polo (same material). Didn't shrink in the wash. It shrinks slightly but stretches out during a days wear. Overall no significant change.

do you just chuck it in together with laundry or delicate cold cycle or something else?

I mean I wash *all* my clothes on cold delicate cycles because it's better for them and cleans them just as well.

Yeah just chuck it in with your other shirts.

Looks like the camp collar shirt has been removed from the preview tab 😭

Also does anyone know when F/W will start?

I don't know...maybe I just need a better washing machine but I really feel like I between 20* delicate and 40* normal, delicate doesn't clean enough... but ok. thanks.

This is how my custom made suits fit and it's very frustrating now that I realize I'd like a less constricting fit. They're not S&M, they're a traveling tailor from Hong Kong. The construction is amazing but overall it's too snug. And this guy measured me for like 15 minutes. Is a relaxed style something you have to specify?

(I know the S&M MTO isn't exactly the same idea since you supply your own measurements... Just venting I guess)

Not bad, all are easy fixes. Bring to tailor and you'll be looking like BOND in no time... to die. har... har... har...

I don’t normally button my jacket so it’s all minor to me. I do think a touch longer jacket would be nice, and I think having to always have to have the sleeves slimmed down doesn’t help either, but overall I’m pretty happy with what I have.

Dumb question. Are sunglasses unisex? Or are they bigger for a man’s face?
