@spiermackay I'm waiting to receive the measurements from my last custom order from Renu. Should I go ahead and place an order and just note in the comments that the measurements I've entered should be ignored?

Thanks

Renu moved on from here. Rana has taken over. DM me your email address and I'll have him send the measurements to you.

Do I fill out the box? Cause I’m getting the error message when I click on ADD / REDEEM button.

The gift card is there, looks like you will have to wait until it is out of pending status. The redeem button will show up next to "view/print/remove" iirc

Really bummed about the cigar linen jacket being cut big. Does anyone have the 38 contemporary and can comment (and measure) how big it is? My usual size 40 contemporary was very big on me

Is this a known thing? Don’t remember hearing about it on here. Might have to try it since my normal size isn’t available but 1 size down is

Not a known thing. I don’t think anyone else has reported a size difference with the cigar linen—and a lot of people have bought it. Maybe @JFK-esque isn’t used to the Neapolitan jackets.

Big where?

Mine arrives today. I always have my sleeves taken up and a lot of fabric taken out of the chest and waist anyway. I buy the 40L for shoulders and overall length and have the tailor adjust the rest.

I remember watching @Ezio cigar linen jacket saying that was a little big in the chest. I bought it and was expecting it to be big in the chest, but it wasn't it was perfect. I just needed to take-in the waist 1", shorten the sleeves and that's it. Myabe it's out of specification?

I don't have the cigar, but there is a manufacturing tolerance range for each size garment I believe. Ezio's jacket is probably at the large end of the range or maybe a bit outside range.

This summer I bought a jacket in my usual size that I had to let out a bit. First and only SM jacket I have ever had to alter in my normal size. Mine was at the other end of the tolerance range. And the most recent jacket I bought was right back where they all (but the one) normally are.
