I don't have any MTM shirts from S&M, but have had issues with shrinkage with OTR shirts -- to the point that I had to throw them out because they wouldn't even button anymore, I believe that is what we are talking about, not MTM.

Bought the Teal Polo coat during the Boxing Day sale. I was hesitant cause I already have the Rust from last year and love it but wanted to see a pic of the Teal in the wild first cause I was unsure about the color but I couldn’t find one. I decided to buy it anyway and I’m glad I did.

It’s more versatile than the Rust, it’s a mix of Blue and Grey. A few changes from last year’s model, as mentioned on here before, the pockets are deeper which is a welcome touch. But my favorite is the fact that the collar stays up a lot better. Now I just have to shorten the sleeves a little. Anyway, here are a pics of the 2 coats side by side. In case anyone is wondering what the Teal looks like.

I picked this one up too. I was similarly nervous with it being called “teal” but you’re absolutely right that it reads much more grey and blue (with a lot of midnight/navy undertones too).

Every day I’ve worn the polo coat someone has stopped me to say they love either the fabric or the whole coat. Never had that with any previous outerwear!

this was also the first Spier item I bought that I bought OTR that needed zero tailoring. The size 40 fits damn near perfect on me (6’ 175lbs and slightly longer than expected arms).

I agree completely, no other piece of clothing that I own get more compliments than my Rust coat, not even close. It has such a presence to it, it’s hard to describe. I’m looking forward to seeing if the Teal gets similar reactions.

Just yesterday at work, I was speaking to a lady at my desk. I was about to give her a tour, so I went to the back to put my coat on. When I came back, she goes “wow, nice coat! I didn’t even realize you were the same person” ??

S&M experts, would any of you be able to provide the length between the middle of the first button to the sleeve hem? Eyeing a sport coat, but would likely need to shorten the sleeve slightly.

How much success have you all had in letting out sports jackets? The tailors I've taken them to balk at the suggestion. When I look at the seams, there is some additional fabric but, admittedly, not a lot. As others have observed, my experience has been that the same size varies. Alas, my mint green jacket is too snug in the torso, whereas many other jackets with the same size aren't. I hate to return it because I picked up the pants, too, but I'm having trouble finding a tailor who is willing to help.

I showed one of these to Enzo. He was arguing many points in the video.

For one, he said he loves cuff links. Also, he said he has no problem with peak lapels.

I have not watched videos from @vriche, at least I don't think so. But based on your comment, I guess he's not the biggest proponent of cufflinks and peak lapels. Different flavors for different neighbors I like to say.

I would agree that I am not a fan of peak lapels, but mostly because it does not suit my frame really. Love a pair of links though. Not a fan of those pins or jewelry that go from the lapel button to the chest pocket. Seems a bit much.

Speaking of different flavors, to me certain folks over at Pitti Uomo remind me of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. In other words, the circus is in town.

I think this is the one I disagree with. Only the content. Not Vladimir's videos. I love those.
