All past seasons S&M, minus shoes and PS.

just loosened it a couple months ago because it was too tight. Wrist would swell during the day. Think it looks kinda cool looser too, like a bracelet
Yeah, I feel you on that. I find that my wrist swells a bit in the heat too, but usually I wear a leather strap which has some degree of stretching capacity, unlike steel. I'd say wearing it down that low looks fine with a more relaxed ensemble like that cotton jacket, but I'd be careful with a conservative suit.

The sales this summer have finally let me try the side tab trousers and Neapolitan sport coats, and I’m very happy with both. I got two of the sondrio sport coats in yesterday and decided to play around with some fun combos. All S&M ‘fits besides the shoes, the pants obviously need to see my tailor for hemming, I just don’t need them very often rn. I had been buying contemp 42L jackets and shortening sleeves but the neo 42 might not need any work at all.

Edit: I did cave and buy the “light brown” (cream? Off white?) sondrio after asking about it a week or so ago.

Anyone know the translation between Charles Tyrwhitt’s collars and Spier & MacKay’s? Is it fair to say the following, to the extent that there is a correlation?

CT
S&M
ClassicC1, Classic semi-spread
SpreadC2, Classic spread
Extreme spreadC7, Classic full spread; or C8, Extreme spread

I am trying to figure out which @spiermackay collars will work for me, based on my previous CT collars.

I can't seem to find if this has been mentioned before....
This season's cords, I know the side tab are more of a needle cord wale with around 12 wales per inch.

Are there any cords out now that aren't side tabs that are the same wale? Or are they all a wider wale?

Credit due where it's due.

I've ragged on S&M's MTM program for a while for shirts, but I think they finally got it right for the measurements I gave.

I was sent a replacement fit shirt, and they nailed the collar, asymmetrical sleeve lengths, wider hips, and even my request for deeper/taller cuffs on my shirt.

While I am still on the subject of collars, what is the closest @spiermackay collar to the one Richard Anderson is wearing in the attached image? Classic spread (C2) perhaps?
