Please bring back the All New Arrivals page. I really miss it. That is all.

Is this new release black and white in its colors? Or is it more of a natural/cream? View attachment 1439855

Not sure, but it looks brown and cream on my monitor. If it were black and cream/white, I think these buttons would be an odd choice.

Typically with linen (this has been discussed elsewhere, this is not my sage advice or experience) the sleeves get pretty hard creases that pull the sleeve measurement up. If the sleeves get altered before really wearing it, then the creases are had the sleeves become much too short. YMMV

Edit: As with anything there are limitations. If the sleeves are obviously too long, the creases won't help much.

This is true especially with trousers.

Will come back soon. The issue is with having all the category filters working at the same time. The developers are reconfiguring it to work properly there and in the sale section.

This is a proper and true representation of the actual cloth. It's natural undyed wool. So more brown/cream. Under certain light and in many IG pics it looks black and white.

This looks really nice.

Has anyone received custom shirts? I'm still waiting on an order from March!

I ordered 3 in May, received end of July

The other image of this from IG definitely hews towards cream

Would you say this applies to the cotton linen sondrio trousers as well?
I just ordered a second pair because of the recent sale. Haven’t altered either yet and this latest tidbit of info would be valuable to me

@spiermackay I don’t know if this has been recommended before, but I think it would be great if some of the customer pictures could be included on product pages on the website. Some of the outfits posted in this thread are much more compelling than the product shots. Not all of course. A very common request on this thread is real life pictures of garments.

A few other SF affiliates have compensation programs in place for customer shots, store credit and/or cash. It may help boost sells.

I also have 46R blue linen DB. I just got it tonight, I’ve just been losing a lot of weight and it’s too big.

If no interest I’m going to return. View attachment 1439888

If any 46R boys out there missed the DB linen. Just got it tonight, I’ve been losing too much weight lately it’s too big on me.

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

I've had good success adding insoles to shrink shoes. If you need to shrink them a lot, try cutting the insole too long so it curls up at the ends. Good luck.

Thanks! Will try them with the insoles.

I have no experience with the SM Sondrio but a lot less shortening issue with cotton blends in other fabrics.
