I went true to size, 44R contemporary, and Its roomy enough to wear a suit with it.

How long are the sleeves? I'm wearing 40L contemporary so I need longer sleeves

So got the Shetland Sweater... Oh boy if you were looking for a scratchy wool sweater this one is it!

From what I last remember, the description said it was Merino Wool, but has since been updated with 100% Shetland Wool. It is as scratchy as a normal wool sweater is, almost like a tweed. Very warm however.

It also seems like they updated the size chart since I ordered, which I am a bit annoyed at. It used to have the normal 'sweater' size chart. It fits like the cable knits, so I need an XS which is OOS unfortunately.

The heathered brown looks great, a bunch of green, red, brown, beige, etc. fibers intertwined. Can't get a picture accurate enough to the colours.

So back it goes; Just wish it fit lol

This was the cheaper Shetlands? If they're tweedy and warm I wonder how the more expensive chunky Shetlands feel.

Yes, the $98CDN ones that released earlier this season. The chunky shetlands probably is for up north if this one is this warm and scratchy lol

excuse the Christmas mess from last year photo. I wear a contemporary 16.5, sleeve 36). You can let the sleeve out on here as well if you need to.

I'm finding after getting more consistent with working out that I am now between a slim and contemporary suit jacket. Both "fit" but to dial it in perfect I either need to take the contemporary in slightly or let the slim out slightly. Anyone have experience as to the better (and maybe cheaper) way to go? The other issue is the slim pants fit better so if I roll contemporary I have to mix and match the suit.

I’d always opt for taking in slightly. Cost wise is tailor dependent, but I have to assume you’re looking at roughly equal costs for both alternations.

Anyone else interested in casual wash and wear suits? I think they'd be perfect in an Ivy cut.

Brooks Brothers used to do this in some decades past in poplin/poly blends, and Drake's sort of does this with their Games' suit (not sure if it's washable though).

S&M has tried this once or twice in the past, but didn't try it again. I do recall there was some cut issues.

Bump. I find I wear tailoring less and less unless I can toss it into a wash.

I'd love more washable options for chinos or dress trousers.

Hello, I am a new customer to Spier and Mackay and am interested in their custom shirt program.

* Is it possible to use a referral code after I've already signed up? Does anyone have a code that I can use after already signing up?
* If not, I read somewhere that there is a 15% discount if three or more shirts are ordered? How can I do that?
* Can I request darts in the back?
* Can Spier account for a dropped right shoulder?

They got to quit doing this. I don’t understand how this keeps happening, it has to be SOP, at this point. I was fortunate that my size still existed. Sorry yours was gone. That sucks.

Negative here, ghost rider.

How often do you need to wash your tailoring? I find myself not dry cleaning jackets for a while.

I think you can still use a referral code as long as it's your first order. I was gonna post mine but can't seem to find it on the site anymore...

Never, because I rarely wear tailoring due to the cleaning costs.

Hence my post on wash and wear tailoring.

I like the idea of not being careful and precious when wearing my clothing.
