Question for anyone that's ordered a S&M Sport Coat. Do you usually go with a Short if you wear a suit jacket in short length, or are you better off with a regular? Looking at picking up something but it's only offered in Regular sizing, even though I usually wear a short length, so didn't want to grab it but not be able to return it if it was too long in the sleeve.

Have you checked out the size and fit guide? (https://www.spierandmackay.com/fit-guide/Sportcoats -Size Chart) It shows measurements for all lengths.

Does high rise = pleated? Are there any high rise flat front pants in the new arrivals? Thanks

There are a few flat front high rise trousers. Look at the "finer details" on the bottom. Here is an example, these are the rust guabello:

The others say "single reverse pleat" generally instead of "flat front."

The suit jackets and sportcoats fit the same, the only difference is that the Neo runs slightly longer than the regular cut. If you wear a short in suits, you'll wear a short in the sportcoats.

I've ordered it under the impression it is- there's definitely three buttons, and S&M doesn't do 3 button jackets outside of Neo.

Actually that is false. The Guabello Denim Blue SC from FW20 was a 3R2 with regular cut, surprisingly

Was referring to an overcoat worn over a suit. Wondering if the sleeve length bothers anyone if they usually wear a short but ordered and have worn a regular size. In the winter when we'd be wearing the coats, a longer sleeve length may be beneficial for warmth.

Huh, interesting....I guess I learned something today lol

Ah gotcha. Going from a short to a regular for an overcoat might not be bad- sleeves are definitely easily alterable, plus you'd get the advantage of a longer coat length imho.

Those aren't high rise, they're just regular dress trousers with side tabs. They've been miscategorized on the site and appear in the high rise section, but if you look at the product code it say "F1H1-ST" which means flat front regular rise with side tabs.

AFAIK there aren't any flat front high rise trousers in OTR right now. You either get flat front regular rise (F1H1-SideTabs or Loops), or pleated high rise with side tabs (F2H1-HighRise).

Thanks @Bidouleroux !
Sorry about that @Irish , that is why I usually refrain from posting on here, there are so many more knowledgeable folks! I guess the fresco trousers I ordered are not high rise ?

Are they going to shrink in a cold wash?

Marginally and only in the length.

Boarded the Safari hype train. Received it and immediately thought... when and where the heck would I wear this thing when it’s >90 out. Likely nowhere so it’s going back. This was the last 40 if anyone is looking for it. What I do like is the length and waist position compared to the F/W field jacket. I really hope they do this cut in a F/W version

@spiermackay I know you're doing a group order for Dugdale cavalry twill trousers, does that mean you are able to source other Dugdale fabrics for single MTO orders?

Yes we can.

@spiermackay @SpierTeam
Do all of your blazers and suits automatically come with horn buttons? I noticed that some have it specified in the description whereas others do not.

The entry level Filarte suits have Urea. Everything else is Horn in the suits/sportcoats. We are also looking to add MOP and Corozo into the mix soon.

 

[spiermackay]

In for the A1. But I would prefer a zipper instead of the buttons for this type of jacket.

Ideally, it would be zipper and buttons. Visible zipper on this looks odd to me.

 

[spiermackay]

Very cool news, will be looking to buy both chinos and trench coat when they drop. I see you mentioned traditional details. Does that mean things like epaulets and/or a gun flap? Will the longer length be a bit longer than the OTR topcoats or maybe closer to the balmacaan? This sounds very interesting.

Yes to all.

S&M package sent with UPS from Canada on April 13 arrived in Sweden on April 15 And here I am waiting 3 months for another S&M package I sent with USPS from USA. It's safe to say I won't be using USPS anymore

USPS is a disaster right now. We're fortunate that we made the switch to UPS just in time.
