When are the new polos dropping? The dress collar polos looks great and cannot wait to see what other colors you did up in each line.

Were any fit adjustments made to the new polos compared to the originals?

They are coming in early April. We're keeping it conservative. White, Black, Navy, Light Heather Gray, Charcoal Heather, Burgundy and Marine Blue.

No dramatic difference in size. We had good feedback on the sizing of the last go around, and folks really enjoyed the fit.

White Shirt

Tried searching this thread, but didn't have any luck. I'm looking for advice on an S&M MTM white shirt fabric for a casual shirt. I'm looking for something thicker than a fine dress shirt material, but also thinner than an oxford material. I'd also like the fabric to be fairly opaque. Any suggestions?

Fine twill, Royal twill, Pin Oxford or Royal Oxford. All work well in the respects you are looking for.

I was kind of between sizes last round but the large works. The selection sounds fantastic!

Is it a full run of all colors across the dress collar and standard collar? I am ready to grab the navy, burgundy, and both heather shirts. Will make it tough if I have to decide what collar I like better too haha

Yes, we'll have all colours/sizes in both the rib collar and shirt collar.

Much appreciated. Would there be enough material in a 46 to let the arms out 1/2 inch to and inch.

Cheers

We've let the sleeve out 3/4" many times without any issue. The buttons are false so they can be easily moved to accommodate.

Going to be a tough decision, both collars look great.

Fair warning, prices will be more in line with regular polos of this level. $30 CAD for the Rib, $35 CAD for the Shirt collar. Both will be bundled though for savings.

I noticed that with my S&M shirts, the buttonholes on the shirts don't have as much "resilience" than shirts from other brands. Specifically, after I button the shirt, or the cuff, I feel like the fabric around the buttonhole stays a bit deformed. This occurs regardless of the fabric. Is this a function of the interlining/fusing/construction of the plackets and cuffs? Anyone else have this experience?


With that being said, I am still anxiously waiting for the university stripe oxfords.

Was expecting those price points and always appreciate the bundle pricing. Will be buying 3+ when they drop.

You can request it in the notes at checkout. However, once a garment is altered it is considered a final sale. Sleeve Shortening/Lengthening is $25 CAD and we'll send you a separate invoice and payment request for it.

We got a bunch of new cloth from Monti. I've said it many times, I think Monti is superior to Thomas Mason. The cloth just has a character to it that's hard to emulate.

These should be up by Monday. $119 CAD or $99 CAD when bundled. Amazing value.

Looks great to me. I'll be putting a big order in with you guys once I get my sample shirt and it fits well.
