Versatility depends on context. I work in a law firm and own about 15 suits, not one of which is a light grey. I own a medium grey, but nowhere near "light" in the colour spectrum. I would personally feel quite a bit underdressed wearing a light grey suit at work, but then again, I'm not a partner, and don't get to call all of the shots on what I wear.

Well this is an occupation problem. Some colors or patterns can only be worn when you're the shareholder. Or time to change jobs so your wardrobe can finally grow. I just gave away a brand new Boglioli navy blazer cuz one can only have so many.

Turtleneck dudes : If I wear a 38 slim with S&M would you say Medium for the turtleneck?

If only they would reply to my emails I've sent over a few days time. I meant to order a sweater with my black friday purchase and forgot. I asked if I could have them add it to the order and invoice me so I can avoid extra shipping charges. I'd hate to eat extra money for shipping for no reason. Would save them the trouble of posting two packages as well.

That was the point I was making, “lighter than charcoal” should really be the name of the 3rd category.

Aggressively cropped mirror pic to illustrate the beauty of this brick (burnt orange) v-neck sweater. Paired with blue/pink check spread collar from S&M. In love with the color.

Extra feedback: F/W '18 sweaters don't pill anymore, but they also lost a bit of loft and warmth in the process! 20181127_122310-1.jpg

What a world we live in where on the second business day you start asking, "Where is my package?"

I'm a little bummed I haven't seen any pictures of the brown and red POW posted yet or more of all of the POWs.

I am a 40 and took a medium and it is slim. If I buy another, I may opt to size up.

Sorry but in Sweden BF is a work day, didn't even know it isn't in Canada. I didn't see that quote anywhere, but thanks anyway.

I've been back and going back and forth on if I should grab the below suit. I don't really need it but it's a pretty great deal with the last day of the sale

I opted to get this for the same reason as @masernaut. The double-duty jacket. Excited to see how it works in person.

Thanks for this. I figured medium would be a good bet if I wanted a close, slim fit. In fact, I essentially wanted to clone the product photo of the blue-mix suit that is mentioned above haha. I'm not a big turtleneck guy, but that product photo is a good look IMO.

I actually like the look of chalkstripe, but I don't need a flannel suit in Vancouver.

I like stripes in general. I wanted to get last season's pinstripe suit but didn't have the budget, and by the time I had the budget, it was out of stock. I guess that's the way the cards are dealt.

Light grey is nowhere near a must-have.

Wot you on about, mate.

Get yo Michael Mann on, son.

My SM light grey suit is my go-to for everything, networking events, dinners, date nights, business meetings, weddings, formal stuff, killing fools, it's uber versatile

"I don't need a flannel suit in Vancouver" ?

Wearing tweed here when it gets into the 50s in Houston. I just peeked at your forecast for the week, you absolutely need a flannel suit @Ezio.

I'm wearing summerweight khakis and a half-sleeve shirt today.

Tho tbh, I think I made the right choice getting a cord suit over a flannel suit. I love this thing, it looks great, fits great, feels great, gets a ton of compliments, is nice to touch, it has a sick colour, and it feels warmer than any other suit I own.

Corduroy is sick, yo.
