Thanks. Did they change since?

Changed? In what way do you mean?

looks nice! How did you size compare to their sport coats or regular cotton polos? I wanted to pick up a navy but sold out :/

I am a large in both. I prefer the look and feel of the knit cotton vs the regular polos as it's more refined.

Has anyone washed SM Merino sweaters?
Instructions say dry clean only but most merino sweaters from other markers are usually washable?

Has anyone washed the Quest Cotton Trousers?
They are so soft, I'm afraid washing them might ruin the soft characteristics of the fabric, but I Have the cream one, so the only other option would be dry-cleaning.

I put everything in the washer from SM and set it on cold. I lay Merino sweaters flat to dry with no issues.

The only issue I had was a hoody from them a few seasons ago and it shrank a little too much but other than that, everything has held up fine.

Is SM ditching the extra slim fit for RTW shirts, or is it just a seasonal thing?

I meant whether the fit or material changed at all.

Unfortunately this is a continuation of a trend. I think I have purchased most if not all of the SS23 extra slim sport shirts offered. I know they sell well as I have to be quick to get them in my cart.

It is possible that the manufacturer didn't want to make up so few or Rick thought slim would work for most people. What ever the reason it stinks for me.

I am looking at Proper Cloth and Stantt as possible resources. I know the manufacturer of Proper Cloth shirts so if I have a problem I can contract someone.

Huge bummer. There are so many shirts I would love to purchase but just cant. Don't know any reasonably priced alternatives with a similar level of quality and classic design. Charles Tyrwhitt is the only one that comes to mind, but I haven't heard great things and I honestly prefer Spier's designs and attention to detail.

Anyone able to get ahold of S&M to ask? I've never had luck.

IG seems to be the way to contact Rick

I love the ESF fit for casual shirts and it’s essential to get a ‘normal’ fit in dress shirts since I have the body of a 15.5” neck with an actual 16” neck.

Has anyone tried the new paper chinos? The summer chinos from last year were a bust, IMO, due to the heavy wrinkling.

Same here

This might be a stupid question but does the collar increase the the knit polos if you size up? Medium to Large

Not even 24 hours, and the Ivy Oxfords are close to sold out.

You'd think S&M would realise we want more of these right?

If you mean compared to this year model, then S&M high-rise fit hasn't changed for quite some time, AFAIK. Material is 100% cotton for both. This year fabric code is different, but the color looks very similar.
Hope this helps.

Assessing the size chart, looks like the rise has increased by a tiny margin?
