I purchased this green jacket through S&M earlier this year, and I really like it! I've got a basic outfit for it (on me below, link: https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/mid-green---neo-cut----6749m-30014-nesc-01-ss23), but am trying to figure out other pants that would work with it. I've tried a navy, a lighter gray, and a darker gray, and I just haven't landed on anything that looked all that great. Any suggestions?

I may be late the party, but it looks a lot like the VBC wool/silk/linen mesh jacket I purchased last summer (superb for hot weather). It has a bit of grey in it from one of the threads and matches quite well with medium and light grey. Also goes well with white/cream/khaki/British khaki and a pair of mid blue cotton trousers I got on a lark.

After a bit of internal debate, I ordered this unusual garment...sartorial denim! I figure I might wear these as a dress-down option for sports coats. Or perhaps with boots and sweater in the fall/spring.

Anyone here have these and care to share their views?

I'm pretty sure that's MossRocks go to trouser choice, especially with navy blazers, they always look great in the photos he posts.

Edit: except unsure if with side adjusters.

I was tempted by this one, but to me it reads as purple from far away. Could be the blue shirt and background Spier uses.

Looking to finally purchase the S&M jeans with the sale on now... need some opinions before I pull the trigger as I don't want to pay the return and restocking fee if they don't fit.

For the slim high rise jeans:
1. How high is the front and back rise?
2. How slim are these jeans? Not looking for skinny jeans, but want a nice slim taper.
3. How is the quality?

For reference, I wear 31 in Paige slim fit jeans, and 30 in 7 for all mankind.

Lastly, anyone have any pictures of these jeans?

I'd add that the front rise is also according to the size chart (about 11.2 for size 30).
S&M doesn't advertise the back rise though.

Bought some green fatigue trousers. Hope they fit. They only had a size 30 and not 32. If the size chart is accurate that will work, but if it’s not….then im

Hi. I have been wanting to add a navy flannel suit to my collection, with goal to be able to wear it as a suit and to break it up into separates. the Minis is on sale. I don't have experience with their fabrics but heard great things.
my question about the 470 weight, is that too thick / heavy and would look like outerwear piece ?
I have the VBC trousers from last winter and like them a lot!
Thanks!!

470g is fine and won't read as outerwear. The Minnis is woolen flannel while the VBC is a woolen/worsted hybrid.

The Minnis is a classic flannel featuring traditional woolen characteristics such as a wooly appearance and plush feel. The con with woolen flannels is that they look saggy by the end of the day, particularly around stressed areas such as the knees. They won't hold a crease as well as worsted fabrics. Generally speaking, woolen fabrics tend to wear out faster than woolen fabrics.

The VBC, being a hybrid offers the best of two worlds. It has the looks of a classic woolen from a distance while maintaining the worsted characteristics, such as holding a crease and not looking like pyjamas by the end of the day. But it's not as heavy as the Minnis and upon closer inspection won't look as wooly as you'd expect from a traditional flannel fabric.

I've owned suits in both fabrics and prefer the VBC. However, I wouldn't mind if it was closer to 435g in weight rather than the 370-390g.

With all that being said, the Minnis flannel is a high end fabric and will last you a long time. You can't go wrong with either. Hope thst helps.

Was looking at this suit and was eager to buy it but then I saw the trousers are flat front. Does somebody feels too that they needed to be pleated trousers?

I was in the process of putting this suit into my cart when I noticed that the trousers were flat front. It is a beautiful suit, but I couldn't get passed the trousers not being pleated either. For the price point, it had seemed as though most of their suits within comparative range included pleated trousers.

5'7" 120lbs, size 34 Slim for reference. Not a problem. The second to last pic shows how breathable it is. I personally love high twist so that's great for me, and I also tend to run hot in sport coats. Mostly unlined and mostly unstructured. Hope this helps, and excuse the dirty mirror.

Hey folks looking for some advice on the below blazer. I think it’ll be a nice option for seperates as the Australian summer begins in October. I don’t think I have any trousers that’ll pair so looking for inspiration (I’m thinking Grey or a lighter blue?) - does anyone have any experience with this cut of blazer and any photos of it being worn? I’m not sure whether it’s 3 roll 2 or 3 buttons… or should I just leave it…
