Just saw the email for the “elevated” pea coat. That’s the same one that has been on the site from earlier this season right?

Oui.

I was honestly hoping for the balmacaan houndstooth to be more muted. It looks like it would get to much attention for me. What do you all think? I might go with the grey one instead.

Pics of gray covert vs gray flannel. Covert first (notice the crazy taper):

both are 32 Contemporary. I noticed the waist on both the navy and gray coverts is also definitely tighter than the flannel (or my other S&M pants for that matter). It’s all alterable, but just curious to me that this specific pant seemed to be cut differently than my others.

Wow. The botto grey flannel seems to be really dark! Waiting for the VBC then.

No Thanks .

Random SF user - I want said product.
Random SF user - Gets said product
Random SF user - I will only buy it IF it comes with this, that, the third, the forth, the fifth

:devil:
Ok ok you got us there in terms of pickyness hehe.

Styfo and userbase is awesome, but I'm not on board with this Balmacaan.

Why did everyone want this? It looks like a shapeless sack of cloth. It's why I keep pushing for a belt to add some shape.

Even the one poster mentioned how it looks great with a couple of buttons undone.

Well, to me, having to undo a bunch of buttons on a winter coat defeats the purpose of a winter coat.

Covert fits you better.

A bit of feedback for Spier & Mackay on their website...

Searching for trousers is a bit difficult. I think having more categories or filters for things like loops vs side tabs, season, cut, etc. would be helpful. There doesn't seem to be any order to it and it makes it difficult for me.

I think overall the website needs a revamp.
