I'm also here to ask about the flannel easy trousers. Are the drawstrings concealable or are they out front?

 

[Rafsan]

Indeed lots of exclusions, I am probably just going to wait and see what the Xmas/Boxing Day sales are. Nothing I want is super needed currently. Curious what others will pick up

I picked up the navy chalk stripe suit and a pair of minnis flannel trousers in charcoal.

Are all MTO items and custom shirts excluded from the Black Friday sale?

Ordered the balmacaan as soon as I saw the in-stock email earlier this week...still hasn't shipped. I'm not usually one of the dudes that gets antsy about shipping, but did kinda want to have it before Thanksgiving. Chances are slim at this point. Feels bad, man.

Update: it moved.

That's what she said. Heh.

My favorite time if year, when spier has a site wide sake and nothing in slim 38r or slim 32 waist that I need. Yay!

FYI, the Zanieri oatmeal duffle coat and the Zanieri oatmeal peacoat are the same fabric. The peacoat photos are much truer. The duffle photos look washed out. In person, I actually found it to appear darker even than the peacoat photos, which was ideal for me. Sadly, the fit of the peacoat didn't work for me and I returned it before I took any of my own photos.

Thinking about taking the dive on the new suede jackets in light brown...the question is aviator or trucker? Thoughts...

Also keen on the dark camel overcoat...my pocket.

How would the cotton cavalry twill trousers compare to a pair made of wool? How's the drape of the cotton?

Are you referring to the Brisbane fabric?

In the wild pics of my 2020 model, I believe it's the same fabric as this years

Anyone try the denim flannel easy trousers? Or any easy trousers?

I'm also here to ask about the flannel easy trousers. Are the drawstrings concealable or are they out front?

I own and enjoy the flannel easy trousers, hemmed with 2" cuffs. The material is warm and comfy and holds a crease surprisingly well. Drawstrings are out front.

Actually wore them today in what happened to be a mostly S&M outfit: navy heavy hoodie over a cream short-sleeve crewneck sweater and white Svensson Classic Lows. I really liked the relaxed but not sloppy vibe.

Who knows what Boxing day will bring, as someone earlier above pointed out BF 15% is less than what was available last week on the NOV22 promotion on certain products.

I think 20% is the max they offer nowadays, with exception to 20% off final sale which can sometimes net 40%, but those are usually less desirable items with a limited range of sizes available.

I suppose they discount based on what's selling and what isn't, for example some flat front trousers are excluded on BF but the equivalent high rise version is included.

The latter reasoning is probably what's deciding the sale. But it's irrational and incoherent.

If something didn't sell out when discounted by 20 %, what makes them think it'll sell out at 15 %?

Also, there are suits that aren't on sale while the trousers, if bought separately, are. What's the signal here? Order the suit and order an additional pair of trousers separately. Use the BF code for the latter, email Spier and ask them to deduct and refund the pair of trousers that were part of the full suit? Why would you encourage people to purchase the trousers and run out of them so that you're not able to sell full suits? But maybe they keep extra pair of trousers to meet the amount of jackets, what do I know. Strange either way if you ask me.
