[An Acute Style]

Crappy cellphone pics of the moss green chonker.

Initial thoughts:
- woowee. She's a heavy one. Like I'm wearing the sheep itself.
- ******
- lapel is wide and ******
- can't even tell these are plastic buttons
- very deep v
- small button on the right side but no hole on the left. What's this for? Oh. Found the buttonhole on the left lapel. If I was to use it regularly it would defs rip.
- has a lot of give
- fits a bit long to me on the body, covers my whole butt, like a contemporary sportcoat length
- sleeves are the perfect length
- very soft. No itchy scratchy
- colour is nice; has little orange bits here and there
- I'd prefer a sixth button Instead of the tiny small one
- defs size down if you wanna wear a tshirt only underneath and want a trim fit
- unsure if I wanna stick with the Large or go down to a Medium. If I go medium it will only be slightly shorter but overall tighter and not loosey goosey old dude super casual ish
- I wear 42R contemporary in S&M and Large size generally
- that's my review. Thanks for tuning in

Blessings from the most high to you and your family, sir. The first shawl sweater IRL. Let’s go. Mine arrives tomorrow.

“The covert wear like a tank.”

This! Covert, covert, covert! Covert over everything. What do we need to do to lobby @spiermackay @SpierTeam for more covert twills with an improved fit?

Has anyone gotten a shipping notification for any of the new houndstooth sport coats?

That Moss Green looks unique, almost like a grey/green melange colour. Definitely think that's the colour I'll be getting, but the Navy also looks mighty nice. So many options lmao

I have a white shawl cardigan and a sweater in the rest of the colours; not so ******; but really wanted something with a little extra in the colour. Moss green was the right call. Those little bits of orange that no one will ever notice - I like 'em.

Also. Super quick update. I have the windows open. 9 degrees out there. My feet are cold sitting here at my desk. But muh bodehhh - my bodeh is waaarm.

Thanks for the write up it’s great to finally see some shots and real life perspective
Are the buttons really plastic though?

Would you say it has enough contrast to pair with the S&M Surplus Green chinos? Either way think that's the colour I want, settled lol

They're not genuine horn buttons. I think it was said many, many pages back that they are plastic. They are not flimsy in any way.

I secured the stone colour, I just hope they're contemporary fit is not as narrow as last season

I can't say. I don't own those pants so I don't know what the IRL colour looks like. But I wouldn't do what I just did and wear green sweatpants with a green cardigan. It looks pretty lazy (which I was today). It would work well with every other trouser colour - except, maybe not pink.

Ah, I sure hope so! I had to return the medium gray from last year. I don't like having to always return stuff but I also don't want stuff I want to go out of stock. Such a dilemma with S&M's trouser fits.

Agreed. To add salt to the wound, it isn't exactly easy returning things from Europe. So it's either they fit, you make them fit or you try to resell them to recuperate the funds.
