Yo, if y’all didn’t get the cigar linen suit separates a couple years ago, get this redo. I love mine and wear it a lot, but that wasn’t always the case. I only bought it because I was settling, after missing out on the tobacco. When I first got it, the color intimidated me. I really only wore them as SC and trousers. Once I got over that, it became clear how versatile it is and how easy it is to make it sing. If you were hesitant at all for this reason, don’t be.

What color of trousers will go well with the cigar SC?

I love these shirts, but if I had one thing to nitpick, its that the cuffs are SO. DAMN. NARROW. I could maaaaaaybe get a true dress watch under there (something like a Cartier tank or JLC MUT), but I'm wearing a Seamaster today and have to wear that cuff unbuttoned.

I second this. I must have larger than average wrists because I can never get any of my watches to fit under the buttoned cuff of a SM shirt

I wonder if something is going with their shirt factory and messing up the cuff width.

I had a go-around with cuff size on some custom shirts. Here is what happened to me -

Very first MTM shirt - specified 9.5" cuff; received 10.25" cuff

Replacement first shirt with adjustments - specified 8.75"; received 9.5" (I'm thinking "ok fine...the factory doesn't follow the same measuring guideline specified on the website, so I just enter a smaller cuff size and get what I actually want - about a 3/4" larger than specified, which worked in this case")

Shirts 2 & 3 - specified 8.75"; received 8.75" (gaaa, these are too small to wear, and after an email argument the custom team agreed to replace them)

@spiermackay (or anybody else) what's the weight on those linen suiting separates? I don't have the heart to dig through the thread :hide:

Eyeing the cotton Neo suit. Need the jacket Contemporary but the trousers slim, any way that’s possible?
