Does the promo"SALE25" still work today?

It should work through Sunday.

Just received my first S&M sportcoat and am pleasently surprised with the fit and quality. Will be adding several sportcoats from S&M over time. When does S&M usually add new garments to the collection? Is it before every season, regularly or randomly?

Typically before every season...

Probably some deep discounts coming up for Black Friday (29-Nov-2019) as a heads-up..

Thanks. I have discount codes so I'll just use them before the upcoming sales so that I don't miss out on my size, haha.

good call. If there’s one thing you’ll learn quickly in this thread, it’s that the best fabrics go FAST and you may only have 24-36hrs to grab your size once a new piece drops. You’ll start refreshing the “new arrivals” page out of habit like too many of us here ?

Speaking of new releases, waistcoats up

Is that a humblebrag? You're too brolic for Spier and Mackay? ?

Is it too much to tailor down if you size up for your shoulders?

Haha I wish!
Actually I have the worst of both worlds. Wide shoulders that can't fit OTR, but also if you look at my pics, it doesn't look wide at all. Got some messed up physiology. So it's not even like a +

OTR, my shoulders fit perfectly in 40/38.
But rest of my torso is closer to 34/36. I think it's too much to get tailored if I get a 38/40 jacket

We found #shoulderbrah

IIRC, you live in Toronto right? This sounds like a perfect opportunity for MTM for you, and pics for us.

Yes! I will definitely go for it very soon.
Either Dec or Jan. I will post when I get the finished product.

How do the polo shirts fit? I'm a 40r the contemporary neapolitan blazer was a touch roomy for me.

You should be fine in a Large if you prefer a trim for and air dry only. I’m a slim 42 and wear an XL. I find it easier to size up then dry it if it needs a little shrinking.

Does anyone know if there will be any Grenadine or similar ties arriving? White pocket squares?

If your shoulders fit a 40 OTR, there’s a reason they don’t “look” wide.
I may be missing something, but is this not the standard RTW drop sizing?
Unless you have preferences that trend GQ level slim, I can’t foresee any reason a normal sized 40 wouldn’t work perfectly well for you. I have wider chest/shoulders and a slimmer waist, and find SM’s RTW sizing quite flattering.

Hi, I have a question regarding the MTO/ MTM trousers.
What's the actual waiting time?

Mine took 7 weeks.

 

[MisterrLovely]

I'm assuming this strip of fabric is to help the trouser slip on easier/not ride up? Even my Luxire trousers don't have this. Anyways, it's the first time I've seen this on a pair of trousers.

I'm 5 3". Shoulder width almost at 18 inch.
Average width for men is around 16-17 inches. And this is for average height men.
My chest is 36inch
Waist about 31, to give you an idea.

I've tried OTR sizing in person at the store. The 38 and especially 40 is way too big everywhere.
Sleeves and jacket length go WAY too long.

How much do the jackets go for usually? I'm used to paying $200-250 for SuitSupply when they have their semi annual.
