Are you recommending Size Up also for the linen shorts? How about the other non-hi rise linen trousers

Those seem to be good.

@spiermackay Please add a "save for later" feature within the shopping cart, it'll allow people to pick out stuff they want to buy if they're going piecemeal. Also, on your Custom Shirt wizard, under the Measure a Shirt option, the last two videos for Bicep and Armhole measurements are missing from both the page and Youtube itself -- had to youtube a separate tutorial.

We have a wishlist, which works similarly.

Will relay the note on the vids

@spiermackay is the "Sand Herringbone" a neapolitan jacket? It says so in the copy on the product page, and the photo appears to be, but it's omitted from the "Neapolitan Cut Sportcoats" filter. Thanks!

Good question. I'm pretty sure it's a Neapolitan. Will get that updated.

 

[spiermackay]

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.

We did one. The Denim Guabello in fall. That was a 3r2, but regular sportcoat, tbh, is almost the same for all intents and purposes.

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).

Eagle eye. You're right. The rust are not high rise. Not in the right category.

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

Will be carrying this into FW

Just got my rust not really high rise today. Need to try them on. I do have several other side tab not high rise so I'm not mad. Might pick up the matching jacket that is not NEO. Actually I like the fact that it isn't a true NEO. NEOs get all the cool fabrics so us regular cut guys grab what we can.

The Quest Cotton hi rise, Khaki, has a yellow undertone in the photo. Does the photo accurately represent the color iRL? Hope so, I kind of like the color as photographed.

I’d add the caveat that the Neo is a better fit for me because of the tiny bit of extra length. The 38R in Neo and 38L in standard are perfect fits for me (though I admittedly buy more Neo than anything else)

@spiermackay will a restock of the regular suits (Filarte, Guabello, Drago) be happening soon?

 

[Sockett&Bones]

@spiermackay

Can we add a 3r2 option for regular sport coats in the MTO/Custom section? I am small framed and the 4" lapels are huge on me so I avoid the Neo cuts.

 

[dukenukem4ever]

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.

MOP buttons would be great!
In the last several years, I have actually enjoyed buying my own sets of MOP buttons (a mix of smoked and original) at 4mm in thickness and just spending around an hour or so on certain lazy Sundays replacing a polo shirt's buttons, dress / oxford shirt's buttons, etc. Actually really fun and cheap way to upgrade certain items in the wardrobe.

@spiermackay

Will S&M carry Marling & Evans overcoating fabrics for MTO?

have you purchased them for a sportcoat? Who do you go through? I have a navy linen jacket that I’ve been thinking about swapping the buttons for white MoP

do you use a sewing machine or just do it by hand with a needle and thread?
