Hey @spiermackay, I have a question about your SS Linen Shirts. What is the arm opening on a 14.5 Slim? Tempted by the Slate & Olive Check, but don't want a large arm opening as it just makes my arms look even smaller lol

if I am making an MTO shirt should I add some extra length to the sleeves? the 32-inch sleeve length in oxford cloth fits me fine after washing.

If you are measuring a washed shirt, generally add 1/2" to the sleeve to account for shrinkage.

@spiermackay - For MTM jackets, what is the difference, besides the price, between "Minni Fresco Navy" and "Minnis Navy Fresco"? Also, do you have the "Minnis Fresco Navy" available for MTM trousers? I don't see it on the site...

I am thinking of ordering a mto shirt and mto sportcoat. Due to the situation in India, would the shirt and jacket have to both be finished first from china and india and then sent together to me? or shipped separately from each country as they are completed? I don't mind waiting as clothes are not that urgent but just to get an idea.

I had an order that included several MTO pieces recently. The production of one of the jackets got stalled due to delayed fabric delivery from the mill, Chinese new year and Covid. So they sent me the order with two separate shipments.

Sorry if this has already been discussed: any sweatshirt owners who are normally size 38/38L in sport coats and M in sweaters? If so: did you pick M or L in the sweatshirt? It says size up, but I am worried L will be too big (even for a sweatshirt)

I'm a 42R and went with L (5'10" 185 lbs)

Size up if you're looking for slouchy lounge type fit, IMO

The product description for this Drago MTO sport coat says “This would also make an excellent choice for a more casual suit.” I agree, but the fabric isn’t available in the trousers MTO or Custom sections. How would I go about purchasing the full suit? And what if I wanted a waistcoat as well? Thanks in advance

I've been wondering this as well. I've seen a fabric avaliable in the custom suit, jacket and trouser section but not amongst waistcoat fabrics. Do we just email customer service and ask for a price quote?

Anyone with SM seersucker jacket or suit: How does it wear in summer? I've had seersuckers that are great in summer and others that really only work for spring, but I've never handled the Minnis versions.
