Having a hard time deciding between these two :/. I think I'd be able to pull off both in a professional environment, but the navy birdseye check seems like the jacket could do well as a separate with some khakis or grey trousers.. Thoughts? Anyone have either of these?

"Belly" just refers to the curvature of the outside lapel edge. No belly would be a straight cut lapel. The Neo lapels have a slight negative belly, or you could think of them as concave. The regular S&M sportcoat lapels have a little bit of belly. It makes sense if you see a picture with lines drawn on it. A while ago, this thread was famous for pics with lines drawn on them. Maybe someone could whip up a pic with some lines drawn on it to illustrate this matter.

I know it is hard to give fit feedback based on pictures, still I would appreciate your advice. Below I am wearing an unaltered neo 40l SC. If I were to order MTO what changes would you suggest? Do you think size 42 shoulders will be too large?

Thank you in advance.

Stick to that size. Maybe lengthen the jacket slightly.

The covert twills? Yes.

Well, those too. But I meant these specifically.

These nope. Just the regular flannel.

 

[FlyingHorker]

Yes, I'm largely indifferent about belly as long as it's subtle and the lapels otherwise have a nice shape/size. Not quite sure what you mean by 3D effect. Maybe you're referring to how the lapels roll near the buttoning point?

Yeah apparently lapel roll and how much it rolls was what I was referring to. Here is an example

so if I understand this in my own words, it's the curvature of the lapel below the notch, and above the button?

@spiermackay any Sport coats dropping soon? Given the new suits trying to decide whether to pop for one or more or wait for SCs if they're coming soon.

Chill, boys. Rick said that the container is on the way but there's still a lot of moving parts to deal with.

Soon. Just order the suit you want now and the jacket later. The value is over $100 so the shipping will be free on both

The new travel suits are essentially a lightweight fresco weave. It's a high twist yarn. They are very resistant. The Minnis fresco is much heavier and because of that weight is a bit more resilient, but the travel suits still fair very well.

Sounds like they'd be great for summer and the heat, as well as durability while travelling (less wrinkles etc with the high twist yarn).
What would be the advantages/disadvantages of going with the Tropical Wool instead? (https://www.spierandmackay.com/blue-tropical.html)
Trying to decide between the two blues.
