SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

I know the Ulster has previously had a roomier fit than the Polo. I assume this is still the case?

That's my experience too. In order to make it more confusing, there are two different size charts for the Ulster now. Size 38 in the first link is basically size 40 in the second and so on.

Soooo...I convinced myself the more I thought about this...

VBC charcoal flannel suit just arrived (snagged at the great $478 CDN price...or about $350 USD for our friends south of the border).

Also happy to say that the jacket length on this one is dead-on the size chart! (I took some measurements on S&M stuff I own and posted awhile back that most of the jackets I have are somewhat shorter than the size chart indicates.)

Now just need the sleeves done by my tailor, and some cooler weather to put this into use!

On man you're going to be exhausted from all the sex you will be having in this thing, and you might as well kiss your current hobbies goodbye while you're at it. Condolences.

Lol - the drycleaning costs might well exceed the suit cost in short order

they have few summer pieces on sale today. No pants on sale. I always wondered if they run sale on all summer pieces, fall etc than jackets vs suits vs pants, wouldn’t they save money on shipping? Less but bigger orders coming from same customer?

Where did you find this second table? I see only last year's navy and camel Ulsters listed on the site, and they correspond with the first table.

So... to follow up, does anyone with the suede trucker have any size recommendations? If not, I'm going to default to my usual 46 and hope it's not too small.

I was told by the top men at GQ that a suede trucker was something that a Ryan Reynolds / Ryan Gosling / Matthew McConaughey / Bradley Cooper / Rob McElhenney type would wear, and as someone who wishes to live that hot middle aged prettyboy lifestyle, I too would like to drape one of these things on my torso while dating a ScarJo knockoff.

I already have the white jeans, cream rollneck, tan Blundstones, and Persol sunnies to pair with this like The Rake would probably suggest. To wear to my job in a suburban cubicle farm and flex for Cindy from marketing.

You are on fire this week!

I got the Drago WSL field jacket in the mail today and I can report that it runs quite small compared to the same size pure linen SS22 field jacket I have from the previous season. I can’t even bend my arms or relax my shoulders, which seems to be the trend of this past year so I need to size up. Lovely fabric though.

My bank teller once mistook me for Tom Cruise, and yes, I was wearing my suede trucker...
This was years ago before Tom Cruise's face started melting.
Go forth, and do likewise my friend.

The second table was the one popping up before. They must've changed it since I notified Rick about it.

Hey guys,

I have a store credit I'd like to use, but I can not for the love of my life understand how I apply it. Any advice?

Thanks!

Do you see it under store credit during checkout payment options?

Now I finally saw where I need to click (was not that clear).

I'm shopping for my wedding suit and am really interested in a MTO Spier and Mackay suit. I want high rise trousers and SM seem to be the most cost effective way of getting a suit with this type of pant (aside from buying vintage).

However, I'm quite confused about how to go about ordering. First off, they don't send swatches out?? How am I supposed to select a fabric if I've never felt or seen it? They told me I can order a bunch of their RTW suits and that might help me make a decision, but they don't make RTW suits in many fabrics compared to their MTO options. Also, buying thousands of dollars worth of suits only to return them feels...risky.

Secondly -- and maybe I'm just a total newb here so forgive my ignorance -- but the MTO sizing is quite confusing to me. For a size 38, it shows a 41.7" chest...that seems to indicate to me that the custom sizing options are shown as garment measurements, not body measurements. Typically for MTM, you would enter your body measurements as taken by a tailor...this seems to be different? How does one size oneself in this manner? Sure, I could measure a jacket I own that I think fits well, but it's made from a different material and in a different cut -- I wouldn't expect the measurements to mean much.

It's the same with their trousers. A size 32 shows a 33.5" waist in the MTM measurements. Confusing!

When you enter a size in the MTO interface, it will provide garment measurements that you can tweak to your preferences. I strongly recommend you find the OTR size that fits you best before you mess around with MTO. No swatches. You're basically shooting blind unless you've made yourself familiar with the fabrics from other sources.
