Is there any reason why I couldn't use a steamer on my Bottoli Slub to remove some pretty severe wrinkles/creases on the back and arms?
UNIFORM LA Japanese BDU Camo Cargo Pants Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Japanese BDU Camo Cargo Pants are now live. These cargos are based off vintage US Army BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) cargos. They're made of a premium 13.5-ounce Japanese twill that has been sulfur dyed for a vintage look. Every detail has been carried over from the inspiration and elevated. Available in two colorways, tundra and woodland. Please find them here
Good luck!.

Awesome. Thank you very much.Nope. I steam my Brown Slub with no adverse effects. I believe there's linen in the blend so it's pretty susceptible to wrinkles.
Did @spiermackay change the lapel width on the 2 button sport coats? My previous S&M 2 button sport coats & suits have measured 3.5" only. However, my new Zignone blue herringbone measures out at 3.75" which I think looks incredible.
Yes, I noticed this too. I have the same Zignone blue herringbone in 40R slim and the lapel measures a full 4”
Looks very similar to the Neo cut, but no 3 roll 2.
I’m not complaining at all, I’m a fan and if anyone was holding off on this one because it wasn’t a Neapolitan cut, you’ll be pleasantly surprised if you pick it up. Fabric is pretty amazing too, extremely soft wool and silk blend.
Both issues are completely unacceptable.So I jumped on the MTO program when it first went live and ordered a pair of trousers in the Brisbane Moss fawn corduroy. I received them today and they're a pretty good fit but I have a couple of concerns.
The one unfortunate issue is that I ordered the trousers with belt loops, but they arrived with no belt loops or side adjusters. Not really sure how this can be fixed -- I guess I could have the waist taken in slightly and just wear them sans any waist adjustment. Kind of a bummer though. I've emailed SM about this and am waiting to hear back.
Apart from that: I already owned the corduroy jacket from last year in the same fabric, and ordered these trousers with the hope that I could wear them as separates or as a suit. The trouser fabric has the same SKU as the jacket. However, they don't quite seem to match -- the trousers seem lighter and more yellowish vs. the deeper gold hue in the jacket. Here's a shot of where the trousers hit the jacket that shows the difference:

So was it naive to think that the trousers and jacket purchased separately would match, given that the fabric is supposed to be the same? Is there anything I could possible do to the trousers that would make them look more like the jacket (which color I prefer)? Or are these just going to have to be separates?

Flip the jacket upside down and see the difference in colour. It's crazy.
The collar points stick out because the collar is way too big for your neck. Look at the neck gap.Just received my first order of SM shirts and I absolutely love them. The Extra Slim fits me perfectly. My only concern is that the collar points kinda pop/stick out. I think I resolved it by ironing the collar (attaching a before and after). Is this a norm for their collars?

Aside from the above a few washes will also allow the fabric to soften and sit better. As will ironing.The collar points stick out because the collar is way too big for your neck. Look at the neck gap.
