Has anyone done a english hacking style jacket with KW? I'm thinking tweed with hacking pockets, a ticket pocket, and a 3/2 button...thoughts? does it seem like too much "styling" for one jacket?

I think @Caustic Man has one...

I did something like that recently. What you can see: An 11cm lapel with a low 1 button front, hacking pockets and a slanted ticket pocket, with one button cuffs. Tweed is a sort of magenta or plum shade from the herringbone shetland tweeds of Abraham Moon, available on request.

I think a classic hacking jacket would have a two button front, hacking pockets and possible ticket pocket, and possibly one button cuffs and perhaps even a single rear vent, if you're on horseback...

@aaronatKW have you guys always done 1-button fronts or is that part of the new options list?

Anybody have any experience with KW's colognes?

I have never bought one, but have come close. I've smelled them in-person and like 2/3.

I have the vetiver imperieux. It's solid, classic, inoffensive...but I'm hardly a judge of colognes.

@jssdc It`s always been an option (think tuxedos).

They've always been on the options list, it's just that most people associate them only with tuxedo jackets.

Hiding in plain sight.

If anyone has experience with both, how do Kent Wang polo shirts compare with Spier &Mackay?

I ordered one of each. Returned the S&M and kept the Kent Wang. It’s more expensive, but it’s also nicer. I liked it so much, I bought a rugby as well. I think it’s worth the extra money.

I have to agree with this. I have polos from both, and while the Spier polo is nice enough, the KW polo is in in another (much better) league. The KW polos are thicker than the Spier polos, so that is something to consider.
