SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

You’re privy to more info, but if it’s the “traditional” Fox, I think it clocks in around 390g/13oz. Not lightweight, but I wouldn’t think it feels dramatically heavier.
It COULD be the heritage flannel range, but given its really aggressive weight (500g+ if memory serves) it would be no small shock to me if it’s offered RTW.

Not sure. "GMTO Fox is the traditional Fox flannel. Heavy." is what I received as an answer. 390 gms minimum is how I'd interpret it. Since I was looking at something in the 340 range, it wasn't an option. Plus, with the ongoing MTO sale, the Minnis 340gms came out at $720. So not insanely expensive.

Just placed an order for three flannel suits: navy, mid grey and charcoal. Have made non standard requests. Will be interesting to see if Spier are willing to accommodate. 3 roll 2,5, straight lapels, 6 roll 1 for the DB charcoal, tweeks here and there etc.

Interested to see how these requests turn out for you. Do please post pics once you receive the items.

For those who own them, what was the final verdict on S&M's first iteration of the OTR cooper/one-piece collar shirts? Any adjustments worth waiting for in the 2nd iteration?

Could you share your jacket and cardigan size?

Absolutely. This jacket is 38 slim. Sleeveless cardigans are small. I am 172 cms, 160 pounds. As a matter of fact I’m questioning the fit of the jacket, Specially at the back. I’ll ask for feedback in a different post.

Did anybody end up getting the Dugdale Bros trousers? I am more interested in the Fox Flannel suit tbh. Cavour had a fox flannel suit that i missed out on... never again! (that is until I can step foot in Asia and get bespoke hehe).

Hello. I am looking for size/fit feedback. These SCs are 38 slim (houndstooth) and 36 contemporary. In both cases I don’t like how the back looks (arms, maybe shoulders or the back itself) and I’m wondering if this can be fixed by a tailor or whether I’m doomed to always need MTM/MTO/bespoke. I’ll appreciate your thoughts.

There seemed to have been a decent number of orders for them. We’re currently waiting. FYI, the dugdale fabrics are in the MTO section now in case you change your mind. I’m curious about the fox flannel specs. It’ll have to be really special (and at an appropriate price) for me to jump on it. I don’t exactly see a lot of cold weather here.

very curved back you have , but the 36 contemporary for sure looks better. does it feel more comfortable on you? you can see the back of the 36 cont. is much cleaner than the 38 slim. also looks more proportional with regards to the sleeve length (have u altered the slim length? looks out of proportion with jacket length tbh). But yes the pulling on the back can be fixed by a tailor just a matter of opening up the back, giving more space to accomodate your curvature... i think. don't kill me if i'm wrong.

One does not wear a white cricket sweater with anything other than a white shirt. We always carried it with us to put on the field or wore it only inside a sports club. It is never worn as a daily wear item (unless you got it from the salvation army and it is your only piece of warm clothing).

not sure if you’re serious and didn’t read my post, or if you’re trolling. If you’re serious:

I would never wear a cricket sweater this way, typically I wear one with an ocbd and either chinos or gray dress pants. I’ve been assisting with hurricane recovery and was in a golf shirt because I’ve spent the week coordinating disaster response and have been on outdoor work sites. The sweater came in the mail yesterday while I was out, so I was just trying it on to make sure it fit and took a pic so people here could see a real life (non-marketing) photo of it. You’re correct in that a cream sweater (especially with a looser knit) will show a colored shirt through it more than another color/style of sweater. For that matter, a sweater like this wouldn’t pair with denim either.

re: venues to wear one- let’s be honest, for actual athletic events there’s clothing far more suited to that. Though I don’t wear them to the office, I have no problem wearing one to stuff on the weekends that require something more than casual wear, but less than a jacket.

Is this your normal stance or is it possible that you’re standing straighter than you normally would for these photos? I ask because your stance is very erect. In this case the back balance is too long, leading to excess fabric in the small of your back.

If this is your natural posture, you may indeed need custom. If it is not, retake the photos in your natural stance.

How do you feel about the fit of the aran? Looks good in the pic, as far as I can tell. Do you have any other S&M sweaters from previous season?If so, hows the sizing compare?

Young Man, Why would you waste your time explaining this again, to trollers, redirect him back to your first post, he just wanted everyone to know, he's been to the country club, He Should Post Something? Blah, Blah, Blah...

Clothing should be fun! If you brought it, wear it anyway you like, if mine (XL) fits I'll wear a red t-shirt under it, if it fits I'll rock it...

Edit; Hell, I'm just waiting, I'll wear over top of this shirt in cream trousers!

And, Most Of All Thank you, For Your Service...
