No, didn't change a thing. Different fabrics will fit/drape slightly different. With Linen, there is less give than with wool. It doesn't have the same elasticity. That said, you should still fit the same size and not have to size up. What was your order#, I'd like to see the items once they get back to us to see if they are off spec or not.

Picked up the Cooper and linen suit a few weeks back. Finally got it back from the tailor. Good value. Paired with a luxire gingham shirt And solid blue twill tie from land's end.

Looks great brother! Love the cuffs and the bit loafers with it.

Trying to test the waters at work with sport coats. We're pretty casual but work in design, I'm always surprised how poorly people dress.

Got my first "do you have a job interview today" comment and I've only been here for 20 min haha.

Haters gonna hate.

Ok so I came across the old donegal swatches pic and I'm really hoping #11 is coming in a sport coat.

In the proposed lower gorge neopolitan, open quarters, keeping the slight negative belly, patch pockets, spalla camica shoulder. The thing would be legendary.

These are normal tweeds. These are coming in our standard sportcoat. The Donegal is separate, which we'll bring in the updated Neapolitan cut.

I thought those were the trouser selections... I think I snagged this one from another of Rick's posts regarding jackets:

Edit: Rick beat me to it

This will release early October. So Pre-orders will be Mid-Sept or so.

RIP my wallet, sooooo many great things coming.

i want one in every color. for real. what colors are you going to actually carry @spiermackay ? and how is that prototype jacket coming along?

I might be more drawn to the tweed colors vs the full donegal from those swatches, though hard to tell until I see them made up. Sounds like the donegal is the one being done in the prototype Neapolitan and the tweeds, though no idea on colors, will be in the normal sportcoat cut (3.5" lapels, though hopefully still with the soft Spalla Camicia shoulders).

If something is coming in a darker green I will have hit the lottery and be able to get something in navy, brown, and green all this Fall.
