Anyone know how much you can let out a MTO sport coat? Just received one and it’s a little tight. I’m also currently fatter than my usual weight haha, so once I get more active this spring it’ll be ok but just wanted to know what others experiences were. Would prob only need to let out ~0.5-1” if at all in the future. Next order i’ll definitely build in a little more room in the waist measurement to be safe

If it's not fully lined you can look at the seams from the interior and see approximately how much fabric is available. I think all of mine have less than an inch in each side seam but that should be enough for your purposes.

Some high twist trousers just dropped, but multiple sizes aren’t available yet. And they’re $250! Seems a little steep…

You'll be fine with any of those. I'd go with whatever design you like

Part of suiting. I’d be curious for insights into the mill. I’ve not heard of it prior

Ew, removing from wish list now lol, maybe it’s meant to be the other way around which would be alright. I find nylon would have been better here than poly.

And that lining material being only half lined and not 100% viscose, kind of disappointing. But I guess a price point had to be stuck to here

Any idea of they are coming out with more lightweight ocbd? I have their regular one but as mentioned by others, it's just too heavy for warm weather.

Thanks, Yea it is fully lined but I thought I felt at least a little bit through the lining.

I just got 2 ocbd’s and they are really thick. Pretty nice tho. I thought there were lightweight ones online already.

Do you know if there’s and short sleeve stuff up there or was there last summer?

I've not heard of the mill, either. Would be interested in learning more. I do see they've selected a heavier fresco fabric, though, technically, the suit is being advertised as high twist vs. fresco.
