I have many S&M outerwear pieces and I'm consistently either XXL or 48 (Just check to see if they are supposed to fit over tailoring. As expected, the XXL's that are more geared toward tailoring are better for me as the XXL is really a 46) in all of them. The waxed jacket has a zip out vest so it can range a number of different temperatures. It's my go to on cool/cold rainy days as it's my only water-resistant jacket.

Anyone know if it's possible to MTO shirts in the Ivy config? (the collar, button on back of collar, locker loop)
Seems like the collar is called 'C27' but isnt available in the MTO UI

Who thought this image was a good idea? Jacket looks nice, but the styling is absolutely awful.

Was wondering how S&M sportcoats fit for smaller guys? I'm a 34 in most jackets, and am 5 foot 8/120 pounds. Want to give S&M a go but am worried about the fit before I purchase.

For me it highlights the problem with DB's.
I currently own 3 and love them all (buttoned) but they just don't hang well when unbuttoned.
In regard to S&M now using models or what appears to be AI generated models, I could do without.

I want more sack jackets. Somebody get in Rick's ear about that.

I mean at this point what about suits or jackets and less of what I have seen.

Appreciate the input gents - @St1X , @alkydrinker & @Genericuser1.
This helps to bring some clarity with sizing. I wanted to avoid the scenario where I either ordered two sizes or ordered the wrong one and then had to ship it back. The liner issue seems a bit silly in that it's something they should've noticed in production. Of course, it's not a complete deal-killer for me here.

Or maybe just jackets that aren't painted onto the models. They all could use a size larger.

The one weird thing about the sack jacket (there was only ever one sack i think?), was they made all the pockets smaller.

I actually kinda liked the smaller chest pocket at first and had a custom SC done asking for the pockets from the sack jacket. However, what I didn't realize from the sack pics online was the lower hip patch pockets are smaller too, which I think look weird and don't reflect any vintage ivy tailoring that I've ever seen. I wish I'd just opted for the normal pockets on that SC I had made.

Do you like the smaller pockets?

No I don't. Their first attempt at the sack jacket was an abortion imo. But I have faith that they can get it right on their second go. I mean all they have to do is copy a vintage J Press. No need to reinvent the wheel.

How hard is it to ship one to the factory and deconstruct?

I was about to disagree with you, but I checked the website quick just to be sure (I wouldn't want to be WRONG on the INTERNET for crying out loud).

Anyway, you are right. Check out the pics for the medium gray Travel Suit. The model's neck and chin look like they belong to a 25 y.o. finance bro, but his hands look like he's been working the fields since the Carter administration.

I don't care enough to be bothered by them, but hard to disagree. As I mentioned with the polos, the images don't look like clothes being worn by real humans.

Honestly, as long as they get the color mostly right (past seasons seemed to trend toward being a bit darker IRL, I'd say), that's all I need IRT photography. I don't need to get a feel for how a suit fits on a 140 pound beanpole lol.
