Trying to decide between the Sondrio medium brown check and the Guabella brown hopsack.....

I still wonder why the pink polo BD from last year is not completely sold out.

It also works with basically everything, just like the sage green.

On that note, anyone have tips on how to pair the other polo colours?

Especially the jewel toned ones, I've 0 experience with those.

So upset the VBC fresco sold out in contemp 32 so fast. Ahhh shucks.

just got my first s&m neo hopsack in a size 38S and the hype is real. I love it. I did want some feedback on the back fit. I felt everything fit right except for the back, it felt a little tight. It is possible to go to the tailors and have the back taken out a bit? Here are some pictures, sorry for the potato quality.. Unbuttoned and middle button buttoned @spiermackay

Anyone tried a slim 36S or 34S in the newest round of Neopolitan cuts? Slim 36S in previous non-Neo cuts (like the midnight tux) fit me well, but the Neo measurements in the same size seem larger all around by .5 - 1". Wondering if I should size down, but the website doesn't have Slim 34S measurements.

I don’t wear that size but I wear the same size across Neapolitan and standard jackets. The difference is nominal in my experience.

We seem to be the same size (well, I don't have any S&M jackets yet, but I think I'd be a 36 slim). What's your Suit Supply (Havana) size?

From the size guide, it seems that the difference between the Neapolitan and normal fits is just the longer length and extended shoulder. In that case, you should probably take the same size.

I know this is a few days late (just catching up on the thread), but I tried one of the fine twill shirts from S&M and ran into the same thing. I ended up wearing it a few times before including it in a Goodwill donation bundle. I've never tried their poplin shirts, but have had much better luck when it comes to royal twill, oxfords, royal oxfords and the cotton/linen blends. I'm trying a few of the wrinkle resistant fabrics in a current custom order too, so hopefully those work out nicely. Bottom line - don't let the wrinkles from the fine twill fabric influence whether you try anything else from S&M.

I don't mind the wrinkles, they are not linen level, but still substantial. I can live with it, but the problem is I ordered 5 shirts in the boxing day sale. I have never had the fine twill before this order so I guess they will be more casual shirts haha.

I think the affordability of their custom shirts, especially when they are on sale, alone is incentive enough to keep ordering from them. I might post fit pics after getting home from work since I am wearing the shirt again today.

I think I have a Havana wool/linen suit in 34R because the 36S fit way too loose. The R fits fine in the shoulder and chest but is about 1" too long (I'm 5'6", 135lbs).

Covert/cavalry twill

Thanks, I'm also a 34R at SS and that does seem to correspond to a 36 slim (Neo or otherwise) at S&M.

love this jacket.....

Looking great! Can you wear the jacket a few times and update the progress how wrinkle it gets?

 

[Gawith4Life]

I apologize for the newbie questions but this is the shirt in question. Is this level of wrinkling due to the lack of chemical treatment to make it wrinkle resistant? My old dress shirts from JCPenney wrinkle less than this if I wear them multiple times in a row without ironing.

The fit is pretty spot on to what I want, and the quality is insane for the price, it's just the wrinkling that's an issue. This is only with a couple of hours in to the work day. What weave is most wrinkle resistant? All of my shirts previously have been poplin.

This is my second shirt from Spier, so I'm not very familiar with their different fabrics for shirts.

Apologies for the work bathroom pictures.
