Question for the guys that have picked up the latest release of the brushed oxford.

The brushing is quite minimal, but how do you guys like it? Do we keep it on the next run, keep the brushing but take it down a bit or get rid of it and just keep a classic, standard, traditional oxford fabric.

Another option is, we keep the brushing for Sportshirts and run a regular oxford for "dress oxfords"

Opinions?

I love it just the way it is. It is not enough brushed to loose it's ability to pair with a sport coat. And it looks good on it's own, rolled sleeves with jeans or chinos.

I'm planning to wear it next Friday for a pretty special event so I sure hope so!

any pics you can share in the meantime?

Hello Gentlemen,

We have some overstock on suit cloth we ran OTR from the past couple of seasons. We are tinkering to offer this as MTO/MTM as a SF Exclusive to start for $550 CAD (Approx. $400 USD). You can essentially design the suit how you like. Lapel style/width, gorge height, pockets, shoulder construction (Normal, Relaxed, Spalla Camica, etc), 2 button, 3 roll 2.5, etc.Same with trousers. Side tabs, cuffs, pleats, etc. This would include Half-Canvas construction and bemberg lining, full, half, 1/4 or no lining. Full Canvas would be +$100 CAD.

Sizing would be based on our Model 2. For those that never tried our Model 2 Contemporary, it's very similar to the SuitSupply Havana or Lazio. Just advise what size adjustments are needed, including square, sloping or rolling shoulders will be adjusted. I'll get into detail about how we can get accurate sizing in another post.

If this is something you guys are interested in, I'll see to get some colour accurate pics up of the available cloth.

My favorite madras, will be up to 4/6 from last years run once my order with the new oxfords arrives.

Seeing it in person today, I thought the brushing was already pretty understated, which is good.

If it's not brushed does it have a sheen? I've seem some oxfords with a lot of shine and others that are pretty flat.

I have the light blue brushed oxford and like the minimal brushing, as it makes the shirt look solid from a distance but adds a degree of visual interest up close. I don't think I'd like it if it had more brushing.

If you want to run a "dress oxford," it would be awesome in a semi-spread collar and university stripe.

Are there summer sportcoats in short sizes coming?

I went in and got my shirt as well as the chino's.

Here is a pic. Don't mind the crappy outfit as I was going to grab a bite to eat quickly.

Pants are slim, just how I like it. A heck of a deal at $15

If there is more size 30 in Navy or khaki let me know Rick

Thanks

I have the shirts saved in my checkout cart, but before I checkout, can someone comment on how the slim fit shirts fit? Specifically compared to the Tailored Slim Fit from Banana Republic?

If you own the BR shirts just measure one and compare vs the posted measurements on the site. That would be the easiest way to compare imo.

It's been a couple years since I wore a BR shirt, but I think their tailored slim is more like S&M's Contemporary fit, which is pretty slim as it is is. Best thing to do is compare measurements.

I'll echo this. To me it's perfect as is.
