Didn’t you get the Serge as well? Curious in your thoughts between the two

Yup. I got the serge, and I tend to wear it more formally with a tie, dress shirt, and such. The di Fabio is way easier to pull off in casual contexts. I see myself returning to it often throughout the summer; it pairs so well with different trouser options and allows me to pull off the open collar casual look that can take me from WFH to HH. Let me know if you want more insights and I will DM you.

crap, I’ve been looking at that jacket since it came out, and I spent part of this afternoon looking at your pics from when you first got this and trying to convince myself that I don’t need it....

You need it, but you don't know you need it.

Doctor's prescription?

Exactly what I was looking for - the open collar option. Thanks!

Here’s the Sondrio cotton/linen high rise trousers in light brown. They really keep a sharp crease, just like the denim blue and brown pair I got last year. Impressed.

@spiermackay How much ease/room for shrinkage do the black label dress shirts have built in to account for shrinkage? My casual shirts have some (seems like 15" neck usually measures around 15.5") is it the same on the dress shirts? Sleeves the same?

I know Made to Order has been discussed before, but your assistance is needed.

I’m thinking of trying Made to Order so I can address the one issue I have with the Neopolitans — I want to reduce the shoulder on a 38R contemporary from 17.9 to 17.4.

I realize it is only .5 an inch... but wondering if it will actually turn out correctly and if I’ll notice a difference.

Any thoughts on this....? Thanks.

@spiermackay Something minor that would be helpful is to add a second button on the wrists of your dress shirts. I have to have the tailor move the buttons 1-inch inward to tighten the sleeve closer.

I have not heard of the cuffs being too big. That's a first.

Looks good!! How’s the sizing?

 

[Duppy]

Size up from your non Spier polo size.

Sizing is same as the Spier merino polos. I normally wear medium in t shirts and polos, for this I went with Large.
