What sort of casual items are you looking for? We're looking to expand our semi-casual and casual offerings.
Some casual shirt collar options would be appreciated.
The current selection of collars seem a bit too formal for casual wear.
I think most of them are too big too long for the more casual/work-wear style fabrics like flannel or chambray.
With MTM, I can shorten the hem to wear it untucked so no problem there; I personally don't like to wear shirt tucked in unless I am also wearing a jacket.
As for outerwears, Harrinton or Bomber jackets would be nice.

And that's before we even get into SC-jeans territory!

Eh, I actually see more instances of sc/jeans not working. I feel like with the texture of denim, the sportcoat needs to pretty much be tweed- I’m a big proponent of textures needing to be harmonious. Linen works, but in this area I never wear jeans in weather where I can wear linen.

Now, denim with something like a field coat or Barbour? All day.

Cool cool. All of my current un-tuckable shirts have a shorter hem, but was thinking about trying a straight hem.

Also, for fellow MTM shirt customers, part of my reasoning for the question is the flannel fabrics are on sale for $49, which with the bundle makes them $29, minus 15%...just fyi.
Flannel shirt-jacket with two breast pockets and a straight hem? I could dig it.

FYI, I have four 42R contemporary Spier jackets for sale in the buying and selling Spier thread. Brown herringbone (not Abraham Moon), blue guncheck, gray hopsack, and blue/red windowpane.

Agree with collars too, even when unfused and lightly lined the proportions are too big. And other brands typically have collars that are way way too small.

I know you can change collar dimensions through MTM, but it might take a couple iterations to nail the proportions

Some of the fabrics in the custom shirt builder show a sale price when selected, like the flannel pictured, but when it's in the cart it doesn't show as in sale.

For spread or for button down? Or all of them?
