SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread
Something I've never really considered, but I think @Burzan illustrates well here is that a higher gorge may appear better balanced on gentlemen with more shoulder slope. edit: Not to disparage your jacket, which looks nice. I just think higher looks better on you.- Johnsson

Appreciate the votes of confidence, but I'm a lover, not a stitcher. Plus I need to find someone competent for the more complicated stuff that may crop up.- Johnsson

One would think, but my recent experience has me second-guessing. The tailor I've been using since my guy retired has also gone and retired on me, so I tried the most highly reviewed place in my city. Take 1: Wrong inseam length and shoddy cuffs. No apology. Take 2: Correct inseam and wrong...- Johnsson

Sorry, I cringed reading this. What designer collections aren't collections of abominations? I can definitely get behind Tom Ford's opulence, but half of his stuff is whack. I can't think of a designer that we ought to take cues from. I think there's an ideal proportion of lapel width to chest...- Johnsson

Seconded. I fell asleep in an unlined fresco jacket on a Transatlantic flight and it was better than passable when we landed.- Johnsson

If you can't discern these things for yourself, then the difference between a $100 suit and a $1400 suit is moot.- Johnsson

This is safe advice, especially about the trial suit, but if you measure the sleeve lengths of your existing jackets, you should wind up with reasonably proper length. Certainly within range to have cuffs with working buttonholes altered the cheap way, anyway. There's a lot of that! (less so in...- Johnsson

@spiermackay I noticed that the VBC flannels have been restocked. Are there any plans to bring in 504-801/6 (the darker grey) this year?- Johnsson

Glad to hear the cardigans are doing well. Really, I think KW hit a sweet spot with these in terms of style and price, but the biggest selling point was the visually interesting yarns. I think anything richly heathered would compete well at this price point. MrAmbrose's has already suggested a...- Johnsson

These are my first casual/chino fit from S&M, but I went with the same size I wear in their dress pants.- Johnsson

SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread
Just some quick thoughts: I received the light gray yesterday in contemporary, and am VERY pleased with the fit out of the box. The rise is decent for a 5 pocket pant, and the taper is not aggressive. These are the perfect bumming around pants. The colour on the site is accurate and they fit TTS...- Johnsson

My Kent Wang MTM Tuxedo Experience
Much of this depends on the individual's level of knowledge and who they deal with. I accompanied a friend to SS and the salesperson insisted on putting him in a size that was clearly too small. Even after we got him into the correct size, this salesperson was pushing for too tight / too short...- Johnsson

Looks good, but one bit of constructive criticism I have is that the MTM program is too buried in the structure. Maybe I'm thick, but I feel like there's no intuitive way for new clients to locate that information, and that it's even a bit awkward for existing clients. Suits header -> Charcoal...- Johnsson

Very surprised, but very sorry to hear about this experience. I still make a couple orders a year, and it's down to, "Hey Aaron, is this available? What pricing level? Sounds good, please invoice me." Admittedly, there is little communication after that, but the product reliably ships 5-6 weeks...- Johnsson

I wear a medium in both brands, both nice, neither perfect (for me). The KW is a little bit tight in the bicep. The S&M has longer sleeves, and I think the chest is slightly smaller. I prefer the stiffer collar band on the S&M, but the buttons and fabric on the KW are superior. My opinion on the...- Johnsson

I'm on 11 weeks as of today, but I admit that we made a lot of changes to my pattern. I followed up about the order and was told that it will be expedited. I'm more concerned with the outcome though, as this is take #5.- Johnsson
