    The Kamakura of Pants? (Best MTM option)

    I've done a few with Luxire, and agree they're good. If you feel inclined to try them, start with a cheaper fabric ($99) to get your fit dimensions dialed in. My main notes on Luxire are: - They are very consistent and careful... haven't got anything that was out of spec. - The rise is to spec...

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    There were some guys in this thread saying how they successfully removed that inside patch pocket without any issue (shouldn't leave any stitching marks on most non-cotton fabrics)

    ^ oh nice. The thought did cross my mind that they might also retain the old program. I should’ve clicked the link. Hoping this promise of tons more fabrics means that the full MTM also gets those fabrics

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Pre-announcement email about new custom shirt program just dropped… I have so many questions and fears. Sounds like they are eliminating the ability to enter specific measurements. E.g., “you can choose tucked or untucked length.” My preferred length is quite long, much longer than s&ms OTR...

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    For custom shirts, I feel like their selection of fabrics is so random and unpredictable. I was getting ready to order 3 shirts, and two of the fabrics (medium blue oxford & shadow stripe oxford) have just disappeared. I wouldn't be surprising if they re-appear at some point (I've seen many...

    Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

    Ha, people are bringing those shoes back ironically? Actually, I can visualize those shoes being worn in a hip 90s/Y2K fit. As a rule, it seems the more that an apparel item/style/silouette becomes hated, the more it is assured to come back in style (perhaps with a twist in the attitude with...

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    The one weird thing about the sack jacket (there was only ever one sack i think?), was they made all the pockets smaller. I actually kinda liked the smaller chest pocket at first and had a custom SC done asking for the pockets from the sack jacket. However, what I didn't realize from the sack...

    Offical TRICKERS shoes and boots thread

    I've recently darkened welts and sole edges and never regretted it. IMO, the contrast welt is indicative of 2010s trendy menswear and feels kindof tired and annoying in our current year. I loved the look in 2015 when it felt fresh.

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    I got one and really like it. I am between a L and XL on their outerwear (I'm a 43L in Spier sportcoats) and L was def the right choice on me. First got the XL and exchanged it. The pit to pit is quite a bit bigger than the listed chest measurements. IIRC, XL is like 26" pit-to-pit...I could...

    Custom Shirts - Cuff Measurement Method Changed Previously, the factory applied the customer's cuff measurement as the length of the entire cuff piece where it meets the sleeve (which I found unusual, and I ended up with cuffs that were too small with my very first order). However, I adjusted...

    Luxire Custom Clothing - Official Affiliate Thread

    Yes! Just got a pair in pale green done as higher-rise 5-pockets and I really like them. Terrific lighter spring/summer cotton fabric. They look & feel high quality in a subtle way. I attached a few pics. So far, I just washed them once in warm water, normal cycle, dryer for 10 min, then hung...

    Morjas shoes

    Another newer brand with a range of decent looking loafers around this price is Velasca (italy based). There's Meermin. There's a brand called Vinny's Not sure if any of those brands do a grain loafer...Allen Edmonds has done several grain penny loafers in the past, you could check eBay

    Morjas shoes

    Yeah, so I bought a pair of limited edition burgundy grain penny loafers before buying the smooth burgundy pair that I posted here a few days ago. (I had a slip in fall in them while they were barely worn that massively damaged the right shoe, but I liked the fit so much I bought the smooth...

    Morjas shoes

    Regarding this, I think Morjas has gone really hard on getting respected menswear personalities to appear with their product. While obviously the outright advertisements are paid for, I bet even the low key recommendations or the "I have these Morjas shoes that I love" were paid for as well...

    Morjas shoes

    ^^Regarding quality, in Feb 2022 they claimed that they upgraded their leathers: https://www.morjas.com/blog/collection-update-introducing-our-new-leather/ However, I bought a pair of burgundy penny loafers in mid-2023 and am pretty disappointed. The shoe leather looked reasonably good out of...
