Man, those coloured flecks get me every time, seem much more vivid in your photos than on the S&M website. Wonder what the other FW Bottle colours look like, don't think I've seen the brown or green yet.

Cheers! @afterthesuit has the brown version from when it was first released in 2018, check out his IG page for some great pics.

So, could anyone provide measurements for the back rise including waistband for the high rise trousers contemporary cut for sizes 32/33/34?


Now that I know that you can mix and match suit trousers/jackets in terms of size, is it also possible to order a slim suit jacket but contemporary trousers?
Yes!

How roomy are the RTW suit trousers in the seat? I usually require more room in the seat area because of a larger bum due to training.

It was a common strategy that was advocated here to size up on pants and take in the waist for a more forgiving fit for the seat/thighs. So you could try going for a drop 8 instead of 10.

For the cotton chinos anybody know what size to order? Same as suit trousers? Or should I account for shrinkage and go up a size in the waist or go from slim -> contemporary? I normally do a 33 slim in S&M suit trousers.

Also any insights into which of the ties would be great to go on for solid staples? I don't wear ties on a regular basis (ie. outside of work) but I'm a young physician about to spend a lot of the next few years in clinic, so shirt + tie at least 3 days a week.

Best way would be to take some measurements and compare to size charts. However, definitely don't size up for shrinkage as they add fabric in the factory to account for this. There should be very little shrinkage with a cold wash/hang dry, however make sure you wash before getting hemmed.
As for sizing, I would say stick to 33 Slim if you plan to wear it in the same area as your dress trousers (i.e. natural waist-ish). If you have larger thighs, may need to go contemporary though. Worst case scenario you can exchange!

S/S21 seems fun already ?
Rick said this one is coming next week lol
Pricing needs to be competitive with against Yeossal and Lopez Aragon. I'm sure SM won't disappoint.
I am sure it will be priced very fairly, especially being an OTR piece and not custom MTO like Yeossal. Looks almost like a VBC flannel

So.... anyone noticed now your account order history is showing EVERYONES order history? did they get hacked?

Another reason why you should not use your visa or regular password for their "improved" website.

I think this happened to me yesterday when i accidentally used the wrong password to log in. For some reason it didn't give me an incorrect password prompt but still gave me access.

For me when it happened I couldn't pull my profile information (or place an order) as it returned an 'invalid user ID' message but I could see order history with buyer/payment details blanked out.

Is that what you are seeing?

Looks like some kind of test account. The order numbers look fake, and at the very least my order from yesterday is not in there.

I suggest we all report the bug.

For chinos, I buy my normal wool trouser size.
