I don't understand why care instructions are not listed with the products. Doesn't seem too hard to do.

Does anyone know the care guidelines for the S-22 jackets? https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/navy---s-22-jacket-1041733-mil-jkt-fw22

Can these be machine washed at home?

I assume he wants to know before purchasing

Yes, exactly. Thank you. Having to dry clean isn’t a dealbreaker, but I was curious how rough I could be with it. (Easier to wash at home.)

Thank you; very helpful! How do you like it?

With it being 100% cotton, I'd personally have no problems washing on a gentle cold cycle and air drying. Then again, I do that a lot with other "dry clean only" items in general

I really love it. To the point that I almost bought me a navy version too

Thanks! I’ll get one. Wanted the green, but navy is all that’s left. Navy should be versatile, too.

This is an odd question, but has anyone ever tried to get extra fabric from S&M to add to a garment? I picked up a 3 pocket over shirt on sale and want to add a flap to the patch chest pocket to see if it visually balances out the shirt better. Maybe I would need to contact the fabric manufacturer?

Yet to do any of the provided caveats, so keep that in mind...nothing definitive.
Hip pockets, buttons/buttonholes, and gorge are all seemingly misaligned, with varying degrees of severity.
As mentioned, will actually do some proper QA.
Honestly, regardless, the jacket is pretty awesome.

Would love to see fit pics. Do you have the E. Thomas wsl hopsack from a few seasons back? If so, how would you compare them?

SM's 36S neo cut sportcoat fits me perfectly.
Does anyone here have a similar size with me? What's your shirt size in SM?
I have tried Slim, extra slim, 15 and 15.5. The cut just doesn't fit.
Maybe I should go for a larger size? But then the sleeve is too long.

I wouldn't say it fits me perfectly, but I wear the 36S neo cut.

Their shirt sizing is tricky for me. I've generally had the best luck with the extra slim 15. They fit me pretty well in the torso, but the shirts sometimes shrink to a point where I can't quite button the collar. I haven't tried it yet, but I would consider getting a custom shirt and upping the collar size a tad. I also try to avoid the sport shirts where I can't specify the sleeve length; it's a little too long for me.

You can always move a collar button by about 1 cm and make sure to add a shank to it to give you a few more mm of room there

Does anyone have any experience, pictures, or recommendations for any of the brown hopsacks available via MTO?

Perhaps dumb question, but you refer to this as a “w/c” sportcoat, are you referring to wool-cotton? That jacket looks like the di Pray that’s listed as wool-silk. Sorry just confused. Looks like it could be an awesome jacket (QC notwithstanding)!

I'm beginning to think that complimentary chino hemming- or any kind of chino hemming- is going the way of the dodo. The option has disappeared in the new offerings.

Anyone had anything made from the Sand Seersucker by Zanieri?

Hello, have 2 questions:

1. Interested in their chinos but can't decide between sage and surplus green color. Maybe someone has both colors and can take a photo of them?
2. What is the inseam length of their chinos?
