A pic to illustrate that something is inherently wonky with overcoat vents. Mine flares even without me wearing it.

It must be sewn off axis or something. My Peacoat from previous season lays perfectly flat

Yeah I'm not sure. I know snugness is recommended as the cause, but I think the coat hanging shows that may not be true.

This is from the first iteration of the polo coat, so I wonder if it's the same for the successive versions.

thanks for helping me out.


Thanks for helping me out! The suits are true to size correct? I could probably walk into suit supply and get measured and use that to purchase. It’s my first time buying a suit online and it’s final sale so just being extra cautious.

Also if anyone is familiar with this suit is it particularly “shiny”? I like the color but based on the description I am reluctant to buy anything that seems too elegant for work if that makes sense. Unless I’m being ridiculous, still learning here. Thanks.

Not sure what you mean by True to size. If you normally wear a size 40R sport coat in department store jackets, don't assume that the S&M 40R is going to work for you. Vanity sizing is the norm these days. But not with S&M. That's why you must measure and peg your measurements to the S&M Size/Fit chart.

Also, although I fully understand how tempting it is to grab your first suit from the Clearance priced stock, the prices are terrific, I'm not sure that it makes sense buy Clearance if you don't have your S&M size-fit dialed. There is risk to you that you will end up with something that requires alterations at the tailor to make it work for you. That could more than offset the Clearance price saving.

If you buy at sale price, but not clearance price (50-100 higher for a suit) you will retain the ability to return it free of charge. just something to think about.

That is my guess for all these bags I've collected over the year. Better to have matching fabric for a patch/repair than trying to go match to something

And sewing on button replacements!

Does anyone have insight to Dino Filarte vs Guabello fabric? I like the look of the shade from these Dino Filarte photos. The single breasted navy Guabello seems a little... dustier in colour? The Double Breasted Guabello looks richer again, closer to the Dino Filarte.

I am looking at the Medium Grey Mix Sharkskin. It looks dark enough to be very versatile compared to normal medium grey, but unsure. Is it really a gem?

I do not own either of these suits, but I do own blazers from both Filarte and Guabello fabric. The Guabello is nicer.

Typically the first part of the product code is the code for the fabric. Looking at the single-breasted and double-breasted Guabello, it looks like it may be the same fabric on both. You may want to write S&M and they may be able to confirm for you it's the same fabric.

Thank you both for the insight. I ordered the single-breasted in Guabello. Despite my growing collection, I don't have a true workhorse that I am satisfied with. This should fill that gap.

Can I just say the new suit bags I received my recent order in are ******* awesome? It's got buttons to make it easy to fold up and carry and a plastic window to see what's what. This is fantastic and an excellent touch.

@spiermackay can I get more of these bags lol
