Edward Green! WOW.These loafers are pretty amazing. Been wearing them for few days. Fits well. Quality as good as Edward Green or Loake. View attachment 1244239
If your putting Loake in the same comparison with Edward Green, I'm afraid I can't take anything you say seriously. I love Spier, probably half of my wardrobe is from them, but I have no doubt the footwear line isn't in the same league as EG.These loafers are pretty amazing. Been wearing them for few days.

I believe Rick has said they had all new colors in the Abraham Moon tweed this year. Comparing the stock photos from 2017 & 2019, this year is a bit lighter, though both are very much in the navy realm.
As for feel, these are merino wool, so relatively soft/smooth and not at all itchy (think typical merino wool sweaters but heavier).

Just bought a couple wool suits from SM the shatnez lab said he just looked at it quickly and he's not 100% sure the undercollar has linen soMy tailor removed all my shatnez. But those were wool suits.
Linen on wool is easier to remove than wool on linen.
I’m sure @spiermackay could tell you what’s linen and what’s wool, and how the pieces are attached.Just bought a couple wool suits from SM the shatnez lab said he just looked at it quickly and he's not 100% sure the undercollar has linen so
1 have you ever seen an undercollar piece that is not linen ? Maybe canvas
( horsehair)
Is the linen piece just sewn to the collar like for example in most Hugo boss suits that makes replacing the piece rally easy or is it fused ?
cuz fused is a pain in the neck to remove all off the tiny linen hairs
I’m so curious now. You’re worried about shatnez but you wear Hugo Boss?
oh, I thought I had asked if medium brown was the same and he said yes...perhaps I’m mistaken. Also, co sign on the feel of the cloth.
Could just be the super heavy tweed cloth is making it fit strangely, or more so than another fabric. That extra in the blades could be cleaned up. It might break in and loosen up a bit. But, that collar gap might not go away.I received the HT herringbone sport coat yesterday. It's my first neo fit sc and I'm not 100% convinced about the fit. I thought I'd post some photos for comments and suggestions for alterations or changes.
On a side note, I never noticed how weird my posture is before. That's worrying.

I’m a big fan of my full cord suits, so not criticizing that move... but where the @&$@ do you live? I’m currently staring longingly at my SM cords and moleskin suits while sweat pools on my linen....Pulled a @induere_to today and wore the Brisbane moss cord jacket and trousers together. Stopped at least 10 times separately today to ask about the material and feel of the cords.
