Any pictures of that dinner jacket coming soon?
I'm heading off to work right now, but I'll throw a few up in the evening when I'm back. Sorry about that, totally slipped my mind since I haven't worn anything fancy since March haha

Wanted to share a real life picture of the new corduroy shirts. This is the royal blue, 15.5 contemporary, straight out of the box. I'm 5'10', 167 lbs. I take a 34 sleeve and the 15.5 comes with 35 sleeves. I'm going to try to shrink this a little in the laundry to get it just right.

Colour is true to the website pictures. I was a little surprised how light the corduroy fabric is; I also bought an oxford cloth shirt and I'd say the oxford feels thicker. I would have enjoyed a more hefty, rugged corduroy but am still glad I grabbed this at full price. Don't have anything else like it.

thanks for sharing these pics. IMO it looks great on you. which worries me a little because i'm 185lbs/5'11" and also ordered the same shirt in the same size. but i've tried a 16 contemporary on me in another S&M model and it was too big, and the measurements on the site for the 15.5 look right for me, so hopefully it works out in the chest and and stomach. i'm a 33" arm so i already know they will be too long, which is fine, i have to have the arms shortened on pretty much every sportshirt i purchase anyway.

If the structured sportcoats have the same size armholes as the current cut which just last night after comparing with 6 other otr/mto brands I find to be much more restricting in movement then I won't be buying any more SM jackets for a while. Might look decent for someone with small shoulders though as long as he doesn't have to raise his hand in the boardroom meeting (if you enter that room you should have bespoke anyway).

Love the romanticized idea you have of people in the board room all impeccably dressed! ...obviously not at all based on reality

Ahh, ordered this and the emerald tweed Nov 25 and I've just been (im)patiently waiting for a shipping notice. Looks amazing.
Nov 25th and no shipping notice yet? I think I’ve placed 2 orders since then and both have been shipping and delivered to me in Canada already

Yeah, I figured with the BF and CM sales they're probably behind a little, but I usually get shipping noticed pretty quickly too (located in TO). Maybe I'll poke them.

With the Black Friday sales, myself and others posted here that they were rather quick and shipped the next day after ordering. Usually it takes a couple days max for me, when it takes longer sometimes something is OOS or another issue

I received a shipping notification on the next day for my Thanksgiving order. I am still waiting for shipping notifications for my December 1st orders.
