Agree. I can’t tell

Based on that, I'm not even sure that it'd make a good SC. The pattern might just be to small for that, which would in fact make a better suit. It's a Minnis stock photo, so I'm fairly sure S&M won't be able to help either.

I fell into a trap like this last fall. Ordered a dark brown VBC fabric for a MTO jacket. The herringbone pattern looked large in scale and the fabric looked rather dry and cool. Upon arrival, it was apparent the pattern was actually smaller than I had envisioned (not small enough for it to make a perfect conservative suit, and not large enough to be a perfect SC) and the fabric itself had some sheen to it. It does work as a SC, but it's neither perfect nor what I was looking for 100 %. Am now considering adding a pair of trousers to make it a somewhat casual suit (being brown helps).

I recommend you find the right size from the OTR selection then from there, make the adjustments on your MTO. The adjustments are actually very limited so you'll be keeping most of the S&M signature shape/style. If you don't find anything that works OTR, then I highly doubt you'll be able to make something custom that fits 10/10.

That's disappointing as none of the OTR options are large enough. I'm a 45 extra long. I tried a 44L three years ago and it was too small in every regard.

EDIT: apparently you can go up to much larger sizes. Max length with a 45 is 34.3" which should work.

Broke out the ethomas navy hopsack from last year. (SM tattersall too).

Would love to see it next to the Cerruti on offer this year if anyone has both.

I love Spier & Mackay, but are there really not enough places that sell undershirts and socks and underwear already? I get being a one-stop shop pre-internet, but it seems so much less necessary now.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

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 ?

So I was curious about this too. I found https://luxire.com/products/minnis-fresco-black-white-prince-of-wales-checkfresco_0510#/ which I *think* is likely the same fabric.

Can we request suspender buttons in the notes for MTO trousers?

Damn... I guess that not for the current season... but let's see what they come out with.

My only gripe about them is that the rib collar doesn't hold its shape for long.

I second this. Very decent fabric for the price. Great fit. Lousy collars which really makes the t shirt look much poorer quality overall than it actually is.

I love wearing it but the collar curling up really stops me from wearing them anywhere other than around the house.
