Nope. I asked on instagram because I bought the heavy safari jacket last year, but linen safari just doesnt do it for me (even if its the traditional material). What I would love is a chore coat, so I asked on instagram and they said this fall. No further info.Awesome. Any details on its construction or materials ?
Is it unusual as of late to get no response from S&M when they screwed up an order?
I contacted them March 31st by email along with pictures of the awful workmanship
of two shirts I received.
Also left them 2 phone messages.
Have gotten no response at all and tomorrow will be one week. This has not been my experience
in the past.
The light grey fresco looks like a light brown in the picture. All beautiful trousers.Finally picked up my altered trousers that I bought over the last few months. Hoping for at least two more colder days so I can wear the cords and the donegals at least once. Left to right you have the Caramel Corduroy, Rust Donegal, Light Grey fresco, and the Light Brown Guabello.

Tried to snap a pic of it in store today for you, but unfortunately they didn't have a single one in the showroom.
Well, the latest 20% off sale got me and I bought this Bottoli blue check. I sure don't NEED a new sportcoat, but it's hard to pass up such a low price.

I usually buy 38 contemporary but wanted to try a little more room in the chest and shoulders. So this new one will be size 40.
Here's a real life shot of the Bottoli blue check I nabbed from the sale section. Beautiful pattern and texture. I'm not sure if I like the fit of size 40 better than 38 on me, but it's pretty similar. Just a little roomier through the chest (which I like) and the waist (which I don't like). Length feels very similar to some 38 jackets I have.

That's just terrible.Well just received my caramel corduroy and light brown frescos including hemming. Have to say I’m quite disappointed with the hemming service, a very subpar result. I guess you get what you pay for though.
The light brown Guabello’s are what my tailor here in Australia does for reference and comparison. Needless to say he was also not impressed with them and fortunately for me the S&M “tailors” didn’t cut any of the original length and he’ll be able to fix them.
Trousers themselves are fantastic and no complaints. Quality is top notch as expected from S&M at an unbeatable price. The frescoes are even lighter than expected, but seem to hold a crease reasonably well. The corduroy is a nice weight and should be a good autumn/winter trouser here in Aus.

I’ve already dropped them off at my tailor and no pics sorry! I’m not entirely sure what a faux cuff is though if you could maybe post a pic. It just appears to be random stitching through middle of it, the ends of the I have no idea what they were thinking. My tailor did my light brown ones by hand, he said that a blind stitch machine like what S&M tailors used is the incorrect way to do these.This is concerning since I just ordered my first hemmed SM trouser about a week and a half ago. I'm confused by the pictures. You say they didn't cut any of the fabric but the hem appears to have only 1cm of fabric on the corduroy. And the fresco looks like a faux cuff where they cut and reattach fabric. Could you post a pic of the outside leg of those trainwrecks?
I’d love to see linen shorts. The current ones feel like the standard fabrics you can get everywhere else...
