Gonna have to remember which madras I have pending as a custom so I don't order that one when these drop.

If you already ordered it you mean, you can check the SKU code in the order to the Madras in the MTM section to see which one it is.

I just received the Navy commuter parka, and it's well-designed, good-looking, and overall a solid addition to my overabundant collection of outerwear. I'm really scratching my head why it didn't sell better - it is an outstanding deal at the current sale price. Highly recommend if you need a workhorse winter coat that fits over anything else you are wearing underneath from Spier & Mackay.

I did and will. Just gotta do it when these drop as I'd like to pick up a couple of them.

Is the collar real fur?

Also received my parka today and can confirm it's a great coat and for the current price it's a steal. To give one more data point on sizing, I'm a size 40 chest and went with a Medium and even with a cable knit on underneath I have some room to spare for perhaps another layer so I think it depends on your climate and how much you need to bundle up as well as your build. I feel like a Large may have been a hair too big on me.

How fortuitous! My Madras MTO was cancelled last fall due to not having enough fabric for mine...

Wow, VBC Fresco trousers out of stock already in size 32 contemp - I slept on them..shucks.

Does more stock get added after the pre-order release?

Dropped the medium grey full canvas off at the tailor. I tried it on, obviously and it is quite stunning. A perfect suit.

wore mine for NYE. My tailor was actually really impressed with it, she was asking questions about it when I dropped it off

Echoing this comment too.

I had been eying the navy commuter parka since it came out, and when it went final sale, it was simply too good to pass up.

I’m coming from a Canada Goose parka that never fit me quite right (sold on eBay for more than I paid, so it was at least a good store of value!). The Spier and Mackay commuter parka, in my view, actually has a better fabric (mostly wool, with some poly, whereas most big name parkas are purely synthetic). The down fill is lighter than the Canada Goose, so my feeling is that it really is meant to be worn over a suit jacket, and in that case, it’s still plenty warm. I wouldn’t want to go out with only a t-shirt in underneath, but if I’m wearing a shawl collar cardigan, it’s a very warm setup. Even the fur is pretty good - not as dense as the Canada Goose, but shockingly close given the price difference.

Perhaps the best thing, however, is the overall fit and length. Roomy without being boxy means that it looks great, but also allows for proper layering, and I can go out and shovel snow in this thing without feeling like the seams are going to blow out. The length is also generous and at 6’ it’s much appreciated. Too many winter parkas feel like they’re going to expose my waistline and that’s a no go for winter wear.

If anyone else was on the fence with the parka, go for it.
