To me 3.75” to 4” is about where it should be but I get your point. I guess the point I’m trying to make is, I don’t see me dressing any differently regardless of what’s in “fashion” or not.
I'd be curious to discuss the differences between current fashion trends and style.

Discuss.

@Eli Curt … thanks so much! It was on clearance so got it for a steal. It’s my first wear, so still evaluating but I’m very delighted with it so far.

For lapels, I think anything between 3.25in to 4in is pretty safe … but it depends on your build. For me, 4” would definitely start approaching comical.

I'm standing by for your final analysis. I think that it looks a bit larger in the chest than your standard KW MTM(?), but perhaps that ain't so bad. It drapes kinda nicely.

Bought the neo jacket on Black Friday/Cyber Monday......but got sent a "normal cut" jacket. I'll say, I don't mind the core-cut. What do yall think? Do the fabrics match? I think they match well enough for me... @spiermackay or @SpierTeam

First SM suit purchase …



'Tis a good look on you, sir. The lowered buttoning stance elongates your profile/silhouette. Did you take your regular size in the suit coat or go for a long?

So tempted to cop the Neopolitan suit either via the MTO option or the upcoming full canvas drop. I likely won't be purchasing said suit for another month and a half, but just had to express how much I need that cut of suit in my rotation.

Thanks so much! I am happy with the length. I did my normal size, but regular length. I would typically take a short, but the measurements on these made the short sound too short. Cheers!
