So angry the summer washed chambray is sold out.

It does not appear that that shirt or the vintage loose weave were even offered in 36 sleeve length. Or, they SO in that length within minutes. I'd have bought one or the other, or both. Oh well.

Does anyone have a good run down of what S&M's made to measure options entail? I have a long layover in Toronto next week and I'm thinking about stopping in.

All suits are half-canvassed with the option of full canvas at an additional $150CAN. They have 2 liner options that are free so if you choose to venture away from that then it'll be an additional $90CAN. They have fabric books but if there's a fabric you want just let them know and they'll give you a quote. Note that the cost of your MTM depends primarily on the fabric you choose, so nicer fabrics will translate into higher costs.

Note that S&M doesn't work off a pattern. They can literally do anything you want (adjust gorge height, button stance, etc...). Even on the pant they can do whatever (coin pocket, side tabs, double pleat, higher rise, wider waistband etc..). Measurements are done once, should you go to the Toronto store talk to I recommend going to Tim aka @induere_to and he'll set you up.

Not really advertised but S&M does allow you to bring in fabrics. I asked for a quote on a jacket using a Solbiati fabric but they said they didn't have access to Solbiati so they said if I could find it I could bring it in, which I did. Cost in this case is $400CAN plus $80CAN to ship it to the factory.

Another thing to note. Touch base with Rick or Mike at Mississauga first.

You will likely want to go to that location if Laying over. Unless you are going into Toronto for other reasons, which if it’s longer then 10-12 hrs you definitely should.

Reason being. Most fabric books are In Toronto and not Mississauga. They will need to bring them up for you.

Plan ahead

I’m close to your size and went XL on the polos. The fit is great.

Thanks think I will go that route.

What did you have done?

I didn't alter an existing pair. I have several pairs of RTW Rota and experience some of that break behind the knees. I had the back rise reduced by 1 cm on a MTM pair. They drape pretty much perfectly.

Anyone know what typical order times are ? I placed two orders on Saturday and still am in a "processing" state, with no indication / heads up on when to expect the order. I almost just want to go to the store and get the items myself now.

Who's in the mood for some Corduroy?

 

[CanadaCal]

Glowing shade of tan. Goldenrodish

What’s with the down jacket?

Oh, you can see that too. Just a sample at the moment. ***** and giggles kind of thing.

I am terribly sorry if this has been touched on in a previous post, but this is the fastest-moving thread on SF!

I missed out on the Slim Charcoal trousers, either in VBC or Filarte. Are there plans to restock in the near future? Thank you!!

Interesting choice of lapel shape for corduroy. I would have expected it to follow more closely the moleskin pattern. Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Quarters look more closed, though? Could be a high angle?

This is in the Neapolitan. They went too gung ho on the sharpness of curve. I've asked them to tone in down for production.

Quarters are the same as our Neapolitan. I think it's the rigidity of the cotton that appears to make it look that way. And the angle a big high and not straight on like our normal product pics.
