Just some popovers. And not too many at that.

Any particular casuals you guys want to see down the road? Seersucker? More Madras? Lightweight Chambray/Oxfords? Cotton/Linen?

What styles? Short Sleeves? Band Collars? Popovers? One Piece Collars?

I was eyeing some of the seersucker shirts from PC the other day. Those of us down here where it's already in the 90's would appreciate them.

will the popover be in extra slim as well?

I'll be into some mandras and chambray or cotton/linen maybe in popover or long sleeve button down.

As for one piece collar, is it the same idea as capri collar from epaulet?

Seersucker would be nice. I like that madras number that @Burzan was wearing from a few seasons back. I really liked the series of madras that came out that season.

Lightweight Chambray/Oxfords.
Cotton/linen in button down color.

This has been what I've been looking for recently. Oxfords are good -- any update on the restock?

I've always loved the Madras that S&M would do -- usually picked up one each season. Chambray is good. Maybe more subtle patterns, like pindot? Herringbone? Something similar? I've been looking for some more short sleeved items for the summer, again casual with a pattern. (Not the Michael Douglas Falling Down variety.)

Question for the guys interested in the sweatshirt/hoodie program we're working on.

Do you prefer a nice midweight terry that's ideal for layering or a heavier weight that is a bit thicker/warmer? I'm leaning to a midweight that is better for layering and not too bulky.

The sample we developed is a 330 gsm, that works great as a layer and will work in spring/fall, and still good as a layer. Or we can change to a thicker 380 gsm that is on the warmer side that can work better on it's own for the cooler fall evenings.

We're looking to roll these out September-ish

I'm leaning more toward heavier weight, but I'd be happy with midweight too. I like sweatshirts that feel like they have a little body to them, so they're not too floppy like a long sleeved t-shirt or something. Just my two cents.

Dare I bring up the speckled chambray...

Id love to see some earthy toned bleeding madras, even if it's just one or two, but the colors need to be right. These from Leith come to mind.

Oh and a bold stripe linen like that Albini from Tim's IG. I think an affordable RTW of that would be great. Second row down.

The 38C pants are out of stock, so I canceled my green jacket/trousers order. If they end up getting a return in my sizes, they'll call me, but I didn't want to get a slim size since the 38C pants fit so well in the thighs and seat as it is.

SM should probably get a new ERP system or something to keep the website better updated in terms of what's actually in stock. The service and product is still great, but these kind of technical issues are such a headache for the business and the customer.

These would never be considered for OTR. Both companies are merchants. Their prices are way, way out for what we need. You can do them MTM if you want.

That's fair, I think it was mentioned previously but was there any progress with fox brothers for f/w?

For sure one piece collars Rick, would love to see some mid weight oxford cloth and denim in one piece collars.

Please consider doing some formal shirts with a one-piece collar.

MTM these all day long. I can't see us doing these OTR. Not yet anyways. Are you thinking like the ones Kamakura does?

Trying for end of this month. But not getting any clear idea from the factory. Our agent has visited them multiple times and it's moving really slowly through production. They have cut and started, but not finished the sewing yet. Until the pieces are out of the machines, I can't get a solid time.

Do you have an idea of how much stock you will have? With the round of VBC Fresco trousers the 30's sold out apparently immediately because I purchased within the hour and I got an email saying they were out of stick the following week.

Yeah, Kamakura or 100 Hands.

Do you have any pictures of how your one-piece collars have turned out on a formal MTM shirt?

Also, further to a previous comment of mine, I'd love to see a nice wide-striped fabric like this offered.

+1 to both of these.

I've always wanted to get a more regular Madras shirt, but have found the S&M colours to be a bit too flashy looking. These look subdued enough to the point where I'd wear them.

Bold stripe linen would be badass.
