Hahaha sadly, nope. I'm going to Vancouver. Was talking to Rick the other day to ask him if the DB overcoat would be good for rain and told him that I was pushing my girlfriend so she picked Toronto as the destination but she knows S&M is in there and that I would visit the store 2 or 3 times haha. She's not the buyer kind of girl. Haha.

I haven't been bold enough to do 2", so I usually split the difference and do 1.75

Got mine yesterday and wore today, nice roll.

Would you be kind enough to provide picture with a blazer and another one with open collar? Can be great to grab interest

Do you have any pics of it with open collar?

Clothes are worn in three dimensions, but the patterns are drawn, the cloth is cut - and then sewn - in two dimensions. In male clothing, three dimensionality is seen in the fit of the garment when worn. In addition, men’s dress wear has two “free-standing” three dimensional elements. One is...

It that the spread length you quoted there or the point length?

Unless you have super long legs, I think 1.5” is better.

Here is an old, blurry photo I have of narrow trousers and 2" cuffs.

I don't think it matters a whole lot. I've cuffs from 1.25" to 2". As long as it's inside that range, it looks good.

Interesting discussion on the cuff size, I always go 2 inches on all my trousers ( but I don’t cuff all my trousers).. these are the medium brown cotton linen with 2 inch cuffs
