Button Front Polo

Can it be worn on it’s own or does it need a t-shirt underneath?

Does anyone have experience - positive or negative with the loafers? I'm looking for a pair of black penny loafers that can be worn with most separates or maybe a suit, with socks or sockless, and won't break the bank. Wondering if theirs are any good. Thanks!

Anyone have an opinion on this particular sportcoat? I see the 370 gsm wool described as a fall/winter weight according to the product description, but the hopsack weave makes me think it would be a bit more breathable. The heavier weight appeals to me for the drape factor, but the differing online opinions on whether 370 gsm is a "midweight" or "heavyweight" have me a little unsure. Does this have 3 season potential? The jacket in question.

I had a suit made up in this fabric. I think it can definitely be worn in three seasons.

i have this, still need to get it tailored so grain of salt. i also have what i'm pretty sure is a 370gsm crown classic twill from minnis and a mockleno from minnis. this is way less of an open weave than the mockleno; of course it's more open than the twill, but they seem in the same approximate ballpark. i live in true four season midwest USA and to me this is a quintessential spring/fall fabric with play from there in either direction. i would probably only flex it into the summer if i knew i was going to be in an aggressively air conditioned environment all day (especially since i am overloaded with linen and other options). winter with an overcoat no problem (though again i have other options i like a little more for that).

Just received the Abraham Moon Green-Gray Check, I know some people on here have been asking about it. First of all, I'd definitely call it green, not as gray/washed out as some photos suggest.

But I was mostly surprised to find that this is the Neo 3 cut. The listing on the website doesn't seem to reflect this - even the size guide takes you to the measurements for the regular Neo 2. Back in October, Spier even posted in this thread saying there wouldn't be any OTR Neo 3s this season, so it's definitely a bit confusing.

Unlike the Neo 3s from last season, these shoulders don't seem roped to me (although I'm no expert, maybe they are and it's just very subtle?), but the lower gorge and extended shoulders are definitely noticeable.

I have to say, I wasn't a huge fan of the Neo 3 when it first came out, always figured I'd stick with the Neo 2, but I've fully changed my mind. Very much dig the look, the balance of the lapel width / gorge height is great. The website listing issues at Spier can be annoying, but this was a very pleasant surprise.

What do folks think... does the Liberty Coat or Balmacaan more closely match the aesthetics of the PWVC x PS Donegal Overcoat?

While I dont have this particular jacket I do own a 370g hopsack and a 275g hopsack (both 1/4 lined) and can tell you the actual difference weight is noticeable.

So if your thing is whether or not it's a true 3 season, my answer is yes. Layering is a thing if unsure about cooler temps.
