Any insights or tips on the short sleeve button down and shirt collar polos? Specifically looking to know about shrinkage or sizing issues.

For what it’s worth, I received the navy and gray long sleeved polos this past weekend. Experienced minimal shrinkage not affecting wearability.
Got the SS Polos with shirt collar, took same size as the LS Polos from this FW20. They are a bit shorter, and wider in chest/waist. I only wear Polos untucked anyways so it still worked with me. Expect same amount of shrinkage as your LS Polos
Any advice on the quarter zip sweaters? TTS or size up one like the knit polos?
I don't have them, but I don't see how the model would be made differently than the other thin layering sweaters. So I would say go with your same size as your knit polos if they are comfortable

If you're talking about this year's knit polos, I would stick to the same size for the quarter zip, they're basically the same thing.

i’m a 40R slim jacket in S&M and the medium shirt collar short sleeve polos fit me well- trim but not tight

I washed cold and hung dry and there was a small amount of shrinkage but not terrible

I will say that the polos are not long enough to be suitable for tucking in for me at 6’0 in height, which may be a deal breaker for some, but I only wear polos untucked so it’s fine for me

Appreciate y’all weighing in. This is helpful info. Likely gonna hold off on the SS polos. I did buy 3 more long sleeve polos over the weekend; I will soon have one in all colors. They’re a good look for WFH.

For the field jacket I went large, which is great, though very slightly too long in the shoulder. I'm a 40R in SuitSupply. Should I stick with large for the sweaters to get a trim fit?

40r here too. Medium for cables and chunky cardigan but large for thin sweaters has worked for me.

Hey all,

I received my MTO suit today and I'm a little unsure about the spalla camicia. It just seems rather conspicuous and perhaps a bit sloppy. This is my first neapolitan suit so I'm no expert. I ordered an off the rack prior to the MTO, also in neopolitan, to try and figure out sizing, and the shoulder was far more subtle.

Gotcha, it would be nice if they started putting the model's height and weight and corresponding garment size in the photos
Exactly. Most models are 40r/l wearing medium sweaters. Think that came from IG. In general models are 40r/l, 32 waist. About 6 to 6'2". 165/170 pounds. Helpful to note that and size worn for each style. Sometimes a model shows up for a shoot and you know they fudged the numbers a little.

I can see it being conspicuous, but darned if that isn’t one of the best spalla camicia jobs SM has done on a Neo coat. They od’d on it, and I mean that positively. What’s the full picture of the suit looking like? How’s it fit?
