I wonder if any of those will be available through RTW. I may be shooting for the stars, but a brown chalk stripe neo suit is sounding pretty nice...

Some of those are incredible, especially the red and green ones. But $498 for a pair of trousers made with them

The weight of many of those are super heavy for trousers IMO. Think they are just SC appropriate. Great colors and patterns though.

Hello, I have a quick question. Does anybody know if SM accept sport coat returns if the basting stitch came loose from a back vent? Thanks

I would email to be sure, but if this is the only stitching removed, it should be okay. I've had vent stitching come off from just trying on a sport coat. It's very, very loose.

Full disclosure, the only piece of seersucker tailoring I have is the green from this year, but linen is still king. And it's not really even close - from a weather/temperature perspective.

Except when a guy hates (what the public sees as) messy looking wrinkles. I have virtually stopped buying 100% linen jacket and trouser.

I can understand that, though cotton wrinkles are uglier than linen wrinkles IMO. Where I live, people are more concerned with your mental well-being wearing tailoring during the summer rather than wrinkles in said tailoring.

Can't wait for that first sentence to make it on some styfo meme account ???

I'm seeing $348 CAD

There are some that are showing up at $348 US and others that are saying $498.

Valid point. I didn't look at the weights, just went straight to the flannel filter and saw the prices. Definitely agree about being great sport coats though!

S&M jacket, shirt and trousers. Some cold temps around where I live, so went with something heavier.

I’m so annoyed I didn’t jump on that one. I was hoping to see it return this summer but nope.

"Aren't you hot?"
"You must be burning up."

"Please, stop worrying about me, I'm fine, my clothes are all very breathable and light."

Back with the natural linen. This has obviously become my favorite jacket. I'm following along the advice of @pickergc to not alter the sleeves on this jacket until after a bit of wear.

I do have one haha. Sadly, my S&M shoes are big for me, so I'll be selling them.

I must have missed the advice about the sleeves, what did he experience?

What was his rationale for that advice to not alter the sleeves till after the jacket has been work a few times?

Probably some kind of accordion effect.
