SS22 MTO Neo vs SS22 OTR non-Neo. I may have been hyperbolic earlier.
Man this looks fine maybe a tad large but thats it. Get outta here lol. I can’t support that baggy nonsense imo.

Also the state of American fitness is embarrassing. People need to get off their cabooses and get moving. The pandemic alone should have been a swift kick in it.

The higher gorge should suit you in theory or objectively, generally speaking. But of course, it would also be dependent on individual stats and preferences. Your proportions might not go well with it unfortunately. I'm 178 cm and the higher gorge world exceptionally well for me, although I'd personally/subjectively prefer a tad lower one.


The one you're referring to is mid gray sharskin actually. The bunch book in question has the exact same shade in worsted twill as well. The one to the left of it is the next step in a darker shade from the bunch book. It's the same as the one that Spier is currently offering RTW.

Here are a couple of pics of the suit.
beautiful suit - thank you for sharing. If it is not too much trouble, would you happen to have the fabric code for the mid-grey sharkskin and/or the mid-grey twill swatches?

Sure. Shoot me a pm so I don't forget and I'll get you the details tomorrow.

Maybe it’s my color blindness or the lighting but that seersucker looks far more grey than green to me!

Has anyone ordered a custom short sleeved shirt? Do I just adjust the sleeve length to desired and hope I don’t get a ridiculous button cuff around my biceps?

When I ordered one, I put in the notes the sleeve length from shoulder and sleeve opening width

Has anyone ordered and received either this or the navy version and would like to comment/share pics? https://www.spierandmackay.com/prod...high-twist---neo-cut---16221132-neost-01-ss23
Yup yup. I got it and it arrived last week. To me, the hand/finish is slightly more refined than the Hardy Minnis. Drapes nicely. It’s also a darker shade of navy than the Hardy Minnis from a few years ago. Also comes with Milanese button hole. Haven’t taken it to the tailor yet. Plan to do so soon, as I aim to wear it for a May wedding.

Excellent. Crispaire is expected to have a smoother surface than Fresco. Thanks for confirming. Does it drape similar to the Minnis Fresco which I believe was the same weight (310g)? Also, do you have a side by side pic of both this and the Minnis? Trying to determine whether it makes sense to acquire both. Thanks.

Drapes the same if not slightly better. Will really be able to tell once tailored. Traveling at the moment so will aim for pics when I return.

Thanks. Appreciate it. If you, by "Minnis Fresco from prior seasons" are referring to fabric code 510219, I can see why the current Crispaire seems darker and drapes better. The 510219 is 290g and is referred to as simply navy by Minnis, which is their second to darkest navy. There's a dark navy as well. I happen to have the darker version but in their heavier fabrics (310g and 435g). So it'd be interesting to learn to which Fresco you're actually comparing for clarification.
