We're thinking of running the cotton trousers in expanded colours for next summer. The Guabello Check is sooooo much more interesting than a solid gray, and will work in almost the same situations.

Yeah the glen plaid is really interesting. Tried it on quick and it fits quite well. I tend to wear mostly solid shirts so I think I will be keeping the check. Planning a slight taper to 7.5" opening and maybe a 1.75" cuff.

@spiermackay Are the "standard" navy suits going to be re-released soon? I have an occasion coming up, so I plan to order one ASAP. If not, I'll just go with 4" lapel version.

It's a bummer the re-releases only come in regular (not tall) sizes. A couple in there look great.

Any solid or close to solid browns coming? I'd love something like a brown hopsack.

Just the tweeds and donegals.

Only a restock of size 40. Should be up by end of this week. Then a full restock in August of both the Standard Navy and the Guabello Bright Navy.

We only had limited fabric to work with unfortunately.

Oh my, you have a brown donegal jacket coming?! I have had some serious dreams of getting one all because of this picture haha, hope it's something similar shade wise. In general I can't wait to see the fall jacket offerings.

Is there any way to use the MTM program by submitting alterations (+ 1 cm, - 1 cm, etc.) to the standard OTR sizes? I fit almost perfectly into a slim 38S but need the right shoulder lowered by 1 cm and the overall shoulder width narrowed by 2 cm. Is this possible without visiting the store? If so, please give me an email address I can make the order through.

Tan cotton suit trousers in case anyone wanted to see them. Website says 100% premium cotton but the tag on them says 97% cotton and 3% spandex and they do have some stretch to them. It's a very lightweight cotton and very comfortable.

Put a crease in them and folded up some cuffs to get an idea of what I want to do with them. Dropping them at the tailor today and thinking 1.75" cuffs to help them drape and taper to 7.5" opening. (Pic is around 2" and about 8" opening).

Really pleased the contemporary is fitting me better these days now that I've outgrown the slims in thigh size. Will start transitioning all my trousers over to the contemporary as I move forward.

They look a bit tight across the hips--the pockets are flaring open. You might consider going up a size in the waist and having them taken in.

Good eye. I'll check them out again but they felt roomy enough in the hip. I think it might be how I'm standing, the cotton fabric certainly doesn't drape like the Gaubello I posted yesterday. Maybe that I might not have them pulled up high enough too.

Mr. Rick- any of the Blue Cotton Slub shirts in a 16 (contemporary or slim; contemporary preferred) floating around the store/warehouse? Looking to grab one.

Just bought a couple different sizes of each of the olive and navy popovers - excited to give them a go. Haven't bought from S&M in a while (changed jobs and don't have to dress up anymore) but I'm looking forward to grabbing some of the chinos and polos/floral shirts as well.

I received the popover in navy today. Since the fabric has minimal stretch, it is difficult to put on. I was afraid I am going to rip it...
