SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

[TheVirt]

I've wondered the same thing. I bought it at full price when it came out and have no regrets. The weight is perfect for winter office wear (not too heavy for indoors) and the fabric is so soft and luxurious that everyone wants to touch it (hahaha). It's also versatile - there isn't much it doesn't go with.

Any chance we can get some IRL pics?

I personally prefer the camel colour more for coats/sweaters/trousers. It's not something I could pull off as an individual jacket - especially when a khaki colour comes close and is better suited for the summer.

I can kinda see what you mean, though I'd imagine the saturation on the jacket would be nice on those bright and sunny winter days

How much length do "long" sizes add to the sleeve and body of Spier's suits?

Looks great, I think it would be to similar to my lovat moleskin though.

I really wanted the dawn cord jacket last year, but it would’ve been too similar so I opted for the green.

Consider the Neapolitan version wears longer but hope this helps

Am I correct in noting greater length in the body, but not much in the sleeve? Did you have the sleeve in the grey suit shortened?

Yeap, sleeve is shortened around 0.5" in the gray one.

Did it ever cross your mind to look at the size/measurement charts on Spier's website? You will find exact garment dimensions for sleeve and body length for every size.

Solid choices. I'm still hoping to find a green one in 40 slim.

When the MTO system eventually makes it online, will we be able to request specific jacket lengths as well?

Surprisingly my phone automatically translated the page to English and it was quite well written.

Granted I am in the 1% and an exception at 6'8", their Longs are quite short, about the shortest I've seen around (granted I rarely buy new sport coats). Most posters who wear Longs seem to be around 6'1". I'm an Ivy fan and I can fit into most older 44L jackets from Brooks Brothers or J. Press. I tried one 44L from Spier and it was far too short. The site says 30.7" in length for a 44L; most older jackets I find are 33-34" in length. I certainly don't hold it against S&M that their OTR stuff doesn't fit a giant, but even by the sizing standards I'm familiar with their Longs run short. My old man is 6'5" and has a closet full of OTR 44L sport coats and suits from his heyday.

Times change, I suppose sizing does too.

I agree with the above. I find the jackets quite short. I’m just over 6 feet and need to go for a long. I’m a regular in pretty much every other suit/sport coat I wear.
