    They definitely have. I know for a fact that they released both Neo and standard cuts in the same navy Guabello hopsack a few seasons back, as well as both standard and high-rise trousers for them. Even a waistcoat. Pretty sure I've seen it with other fabrics as well, but I can't remember...

    Hi! Yes, they replied. It was a generic non-response, though. They didn't acknowledge any inaccuracies whatsoever, nor did they offer any kind of explanation as to what the seemingly random "fees" are supposed to be for. I haven't made a lot of purchases since, both due to the bad taste this...

    You should definitely go with a 36, in my opinion. They look roomy on the size chart, but the armholes and sleeves are quite tight (as they tend to be on S&M outerwear). Very easy to shorten the sleeves on these. I happen to have a 36 in navy I've been meaning to sell, if you're interested...

    CAVOUR Official Community - Discuss Tailoring, Shirting, Shoes & More - Official Affiliate Thread

    @Viral How come you're often here with some sort of snide remark when someone shares their criticism/suggestions/preferences? Why are you so emotionally invested in this brand? This sort of customer feedback is what brought us updated cuts like the Mod 2 jacket (obviously a big success) and...

    Solid navy, yes. This fabric is either identical or very similar, for reference.

    The Unofficial Spier & Mackay B-S-T Thread

    I have a brand new navy hopsack suit (Guabello fabric) for sale in 38R slim. Jacket is in the standard SC cut with patch pockets, so it works as separates as well. Not sure if that's the kind of thing you're looking for, but worth mentioning.

    Looks very good to me. The only thing I would adjust is sleeve length. They could be shortened slightly. Around 1 or 1.5 cm or so to show some shirt cuff. We would need full body pics to properly judge the overall silhouette (particularly as it relates to jacket length and buttoning point). Both...

    There's no way to opt for local payment as far as I can tell. I don't understand what this vague "fees" concept is supposed to entail. I tried adding a field jacket and a waxed jacket to my cart, and they want $82.91 in "fees" ON TOP of duties, taxes and shipping. $113 USD just in shipping and...

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    I'm curious if any other international customers have placed an order since they introduced the new policy for duties and taxes and the new checkout calculator that makes us pay the full amount at the time of purchase? I just placed an order, and pretty much everything was wrong. Duties were too...

    Does anyone have any experience with the heavy canvas chinos? How is the fabric, and are there any sizing quirks I should be aware of? I largely agree with your points overall, but since I happen to own one of the waxed Touring jackets I feel compelled to comment on this. The waxed jackets are...

    I believe this is the second iteration of the cotton/cashmere cable knits. I have one from the first run. It's nice and soft, but I don't like the fit. It's way too long in general, but the sleeves are comically so. The product description claims that they're "intentionally cut to run slightly...

    I think @JTrent82 is talking about the cotton cav twills, but I get the sense that you're referring to wool cav twills?

    My guess is that they decide based on who they think are the most likely buyers. While I agree that a charcoal sharkskin is more deserving of the "fancier" touches, it's also a pretty standard suiting fabric that will likely attract buyers from all parts of their suit-buying customer base. I'm...

    Are these the first regular rise trousers with pleats they've ever done? Looks like the fit has changed considerably since the first iteration (as confirmed by @dapperclassic as well). That's a shame. The first iteration were a bit looser at the waist than I'd like, but were excellent in almost...

    I'm not really sure. It's been too long since I was measured by a professional to remember exactly what it was. I just know that jackets/coats with a shoulder width of about 18.1-18.7" tend to look best (for jackets with minimal or no padding), although I have jackets as narrow as 17.75" that...
