Does anyone know when the shirt collar polos will be restocked for spring? I saw the long-sleeve polo discussion but couldn't find anything on the regular short sleeve polos.

April.

So wait, I'm confused now. Besides the brown fresco, Will there be any other Neapolitan suits?

Saw the S/S sportcoat samples at the 'Sauaga showroom earlier today. Photos on the website don't do them justice...

Which, in particular?

Cotton summer suit I picked up on sale. Very happy with the suit overall but would be interested to hear thoughts on fit. Jacket definitely feels on the short side and I know I have to get the sleeves lengthened. Pants don’t really look it here but feel painted on as well. Will there be fabric such that I can have the pants let out through the leg? Suit is a 36R.

Sort of depends on how you like your suit to fit. In my view, the suit pictured would be cut too slim for my own liking (pants especially). At the same time, everyone has different tastes. It seems to fit nicely in the shoulders, but I do think it is too short. For me, if your entire hand hangs past the length of the jacket, that is a sign to me that you would need a longer size. Obviously, the sleeves would also need to be lengthened, but that's not a biggie.

In the end, some people like their jackets on the shorter side, so if so, I think it looks fine. Just my 2 cents.

Edit: I just looked again and I definitely have a jacket of a similar length. Would be curious to hear from others on their views.

All of them really but this one in particular. In person, colours are so wonderfully vibrant.

I ordered a SS shirt from the sale to assess OTR fit. Were the collars on these scaled down? Looks anemic compared some of the nice button-downs I see in this thread.

+1 to having regular OCBD collar on SS shirts

We had a 36% sell through

Does this mean no 46L for the suits as well?

Can anyone advise for the size guide in website, whether the jacket length is measured from the bottom of collar, or if it includes the back collar width?

Cheers.

Has anyone ever messed around with tie space on MTM shirts?

It sounds like Burzan has, although not to the extent of that first photo:

I am experimenting with a tweaked version on my next shirt which will have 4" points and a 1/4" tie gap (vs the normal 1/2") along with fully unlined and unfused.

The S/S bright blue hopsack sportcoat looks nice. Being S120s, do you guys think the fabric will have too much of a "sheen" to wear with linen trousers?

Very little sheen if any. The larger hopsack weave makes it much more matte than you woukd imagine.

Any time frame for when S/S18 trousers will drop?

Does anyone have experience with the difference between the 42 Contemporary and 42 Slim? The length of the contemporary is more appealing to me, but a narrower armhole/sleeve on the slim would also be preferable. Also, any difference in the button stance between the two fits?
