Cuff. Always

What I was about to type almost verbatim.

How long does it usually take Spier to ship out items after ordering these days? Do they provide a follow-up email with tracking once shipped?

In my experience about two days for small orders, 4 or 5 for larger ones. They email with an update

And can be a few days longer if you requested tailoring (like cuffing/hemming on trousers).

TBD if the stock refresh is legit, but got the navy seersucker...fingers crossed both jacket and trews are in stock.

Pleasant surprise on multiple fronts. Full order shipped...~2 days post order.

NOT my usual timeline. Usually it's around a week or so. Which is fine, for me. Not ideal (some others AVs are MUCH better), but it's fine...and free.

Cuff. Always

With the obvious exception of tuxedo trousers, I agree. The only question is...how much cuff? I usually like 2".

The white lightweight oxford cloth has disappeared from the MTO catalog. Right when I was about to order five of them. :/

Ordered Monday night, label created today in the early afternoon, and expecting that package will be shipped tomorrow.

Likely won’t be a buy for me (solely due to my boring tastes), but this Di Pray jacket looks GREAT.

Does anyone know where Spier is moving to? Are they staying in the area, just in a larger warehouse or else?

Indeed. Formalwear being the caveat. I’ve struck gold with 1.75” cuffs.

Rick mentioned just the warehouse is moving. 5 minutes down the road.

I have yet to try 2" cuffs, but after the first few at 1 5/8" (which I guess used to be standard for those of us ringing in at 5'10"), I asked my tailor to bump it up to 1 3/4" and I'm pleased with the result. They don't appear to be excessive to me, and I like the way they look.

I will probably keep the occasional flat front trouser uncuffed, but I like how the extra weight helps the pants drape better. And it just seems rather dapper on odd trousers (and was how they hemmed odd trousers in the golden era).

Anyone have experience with their brushed wool fabrics? Flannel sometimes feels a bit heavy and hot to me, even in the fall and winter, curious if their brushed wool is a bit of a compromise. Love the flannel-ish look in fall.

I liked the appeal of 2” cuffs and how they looked on other folks, but I’m at home with and will likely stay at 1.75”. I do plan to experiment with a 1.75” on a high rise flat front odd trouser just to add some diversity to the mix.
