Well that's good to hear. What about the lack of satin stripe, though? Was this intentional, or did the factory goof on that as well?

That was intentional. We found in a lot of our MTM tuxedos, many guys were opting to not have it. Too many people and brides especially found it to look "old fashioned"

ETA on MTO @spiermackay?

Wondering if there will be time to get delivery of a MTO linen suit, or if I should just bite the bullet on the sale honey linen/silk and tailor it (now costing me ~$150 to alter due to weight loss - hem, waist, sleeves, chest at each armpit [sleeve removal and reattachment]).

Even if we launched today, you wouldn't get delivery for 6 weeks or so.

Has anyone purchased the outerwear from S&M? I wear a 40R jacket, but I'm not sure if I should size up for the topcoat.

I wear a 38R suit and got the 38R overcoat, and the fit is exact. That said, I kind of wish I had sized up to a 40 for some extra room- as it stands, I can only wear a jacket underneath (no thick tweed blazers with a sweater for colder days).

Mine:

I also wish the body was a couple inches longer, but it is what it is.

tattersals always good

This. I have many tattersalls and would be down to purchase more. A tattersall with a Shetland sweater and Barbour is one of my favorite outfits, and I say this as someone who strongly prefers summer clothing.

Thanks for the advice! Seems like the general consensus is to size up. Now I wait for my pay cheque...

@spiermackay I’m going to keep pleading with you, please make cuffs that fit normal wrist!

I have a 7” wrist which is the average size, and I can’t close any cuffs. OTR shirts fit great and I don’t want to go to MTM bc of cuffs
@spiermackay please don't change the cuffs; they're perfect as is! My diver just fits, but it does.
