Has anyone purchased the Zanieri Brown Houndstooth coat? If so, any recommendations on sizing? The website recommends going true-to-size, but I'd like to confirm before pulling the trigger.

I went TTS on mine and it fits me well.

Not sure if we are still talking about FW 2020, but I'd really like to see more of the balmacaan/ car coats in some darker, slightly less trad-y gun club check (grey/brown/navy). Also, I like the idea of using flap patch pockets (same ones on the polo coat) rather than the slanted ones. That would be my perfect go to winter coat.

Wearing one of S&M's best shirts today: SS19 cotton linen bengal stripes.

@spiermackay Rick, you should consider some gurkha styled trousers in the future. These are courtesy of Lopez Aragon.

Nah. I'm good.

Any update on the neopolitan full canvas suit coming back in a 36 S Slim?

Friend: so what did you do on your day off, yesterday?
Me: I spent most of the day designing the MtM jackets and suits that I will order from S&M after finding a bag of cash in the street.

I've never understood Gurkha pents.

I've never understood Gurkha pents.

I think they’re flattering m if you’ve got the physique for it. Few do. SM absolutely should not consider them for RTW. Can’t fathom a scenario in which they sell well.

I've never understood Gurkha pents.

I think they look really cool with a high rise, pleats, and wide waistband.

You never know until you try. They are very comfortable and visually interesting. A lot of people think they are too out there for them, but if you're worried about sticking out, don't be. The masses don't even notice.

S&M Drago S130 brushed twill form last season. Rick helped me to save the shoulders since a tailor around here made a disaster with them when I never asked for it.

Vaguely looks like classic old school trousers. Slimming cummerbund look, wide waistband, double pleats. I'd rather just have a wide waistband with extended tab, seems like a pain ********** to do up.

They can also add some visual interest for summer outfits when it's realistically too hot to wear a sports coat or suit.

My big problem with Ghurka pants is the enclosure seems like a pain to do up.

They also seem to come in fabrics that do not retain their shape. I only like double pleats on fabrics that can retain the crease as it leads into the pleat. Creates a razor sharp look.

I barely have enough time to pee between classes as it is, I don't need to add more complication to my life.
