For those who've ordered MTO sport coats...
Did you send in a well-fitting sport coat you already owned so Spier could nail the measurements or did you enter the measurements online yourself Measurements are easy enough to do on a shirt but I'm apprehensive about it with a sport coat, especially when it comes to the shoulders.
I've thrifted so many vintage Ivy/natural shoulder sport coats over the years and despite the measurements being on point for whatever reason the shoulders didn't sit quite right (I'm probably batting below the Mendonza line when it comes eBay over the last 15 years; I return far more than I keep). Armhole height? Maybe a sliver of padding that screwed up things? I often find when the shoulders fit perfectly it's too tight across the back. If I have ample room across the back, the shoulders are a little too big. I have two 1960s Brooks Brothers tweed sport coats that fit absolutely perfectly outside of the body being a bit short. The remaining ten or so sport coats in my closet don't fit as well as I'd like. The last thing I want is to go through the MTO process and find the shoulders don't fit/sit perfectly.
I have asked my tailor if he'd measure me but he refuses to do that for his customers; he used to and some folks would come back to him and want him to cover the cost for redoing an MTO job based on his measurements that didn't workout from another provider. Can't fault him for that decision.
@spiermackay Rick, do a lot of your customers who aren't local send you sport coats for measurements? I know you offer (or least used to) a one-time do-over for new custom shirt customers but obviously the cost to redo a sport coat is significantly higher.
Working on new T-shirts. First go was underwhelming. Socks at a good price require massive quantity buys. Looking into that too, but it isn't a priority at the moment.
We do have underwear coming. Really great Cotton/Modal blend. Very comfortable. $18
Not at the moment. It's something we're working on.
@spiermackay Hi Rick, any chance you can stock an ecru/brown POW linen fabric for next summer? Drakes last summer and Natalino this summer are carrying it but I much prefer the neopolitan cut from Spier.
I like how the micro check is a genuine houndstooth, and the color is a perfect summer shade.
Pretty please?
T shirts are a bit thick to wear as undershirts, especially in the summer. Try Uniqlo Airism if you want a deep V undershirt.T-shirts - I really would love a light grey tshirt similar or better quality to the first run BUT with a deeper v neck, so I can use them as undershirts without them showing. I typically wear your Oxford shirts with the top two button undone. I realize this is very specific, but wanted to put it out there in case anyone else is looking for something similar.
Underwear - sounds great.

I find it hard to determine the scale of the pattern. Have you been able to? It's only a pic of the fabric alone.I've been eyeballing that Minnis Black & White POW Fresco MTO fabric, for a suit. For a sport jacket its a no brainer, but having trouble imagining whether it works as a suit. Anybody seen a fabric like this as a suit? Will it just appear as another gray suit from a distance, or will it be perceived as black and white, which is what I would want. Thoughts? @spiermackay ?
Agree. I can’t tellI find it hard to determine the scale of the pattern. Have you been able to? It's only a pic of the fabric alone.
