Is anyone planning an MTO order this weekend (10% off)?

I really need a funeral suit at the ready, but I’m thinking about a neo triple patch summer e thomas gun check sport coat.
What's the code? @spiermackay @SpierTeam I used to get all the emails, haven't got one in months. Tried signing up again and it said my email was already there. Not going to spam either.

What is everyone buying? Maybe I should take advantage of this and buy a Gray Neo Fresco..

I missed the one that was offered last year, is that specific fabric available? How do others like theirs?

I've been wanting to do an order for a waistcoat. Something casual I can wear with denim. I don't own any at the moment, just seems like something tweedy would be cool. Not sure what to go with though.

Standard Fresco? It’s great. I think this is probably the optimal shade of grey if you’re going for a full suit, but the lighter shade (246, I believe) would also be quite interesting.

Has anyone else noticed on their custom S&M shirts this ridge/bunching along the traps? I can't figure out what to adjust to fix it, and I don't have that problem with other shirts (this was a copy of a custom shirt from another vendor) - the reason I'm posting it here and not in the Tailor thread, is that someone mentioned they had the same in one of my earlier iterations.

First pic has the sleeve cuffs buttoned up, second is with them unbuttoned (I think my sleeves are a touch short, open to suggestions)

It extends around the back too:

Something looks off in the way the shirt was sewn together. I don't think it has anything to do with you, your posture or build.

I wear mine all the time- I'd argue that it's beefy enough that a guy could wear it in the spring/fall as well.

Anyone else like wider plackets for casual shirts?

I've an old tommy hilfiger button down with a wider placket and I like how it looks with a tall button down.

Just surfed the store for the first time in a while.

Firstly, EXTRA Slim Fit chinos is now a thing??? Yikes!

Secondly, I’m thinking of doing a custom shirt order. What is the turn-around at right now? Any chance I’d have it by 14 Feb?

And a final question for @spiermackay or @SpierTeam: are black buttons an option for a black shirt?

Thanks!
