Love the Tux and the fit is superb. Is this the tux that was released this season? If so, how woukd you rate the shade of midnight navy? Is it darker than the classic navy? Thanks!What I Wore Yesterday -

Many thanks. Yes, this is the tux recently released in late October 2023. The shade of midnight on this tux is more inky, and thus darker, than a navy. I have another midnight tux (a dated slim-fitting number I had made eons ago), and it's darker than that. This one is a mohair blend though, so it has a tinge of sheen to it, which I dig because it keeps the color from just being flat. Even though it's a deep dark blue, you can still tell it's not black. In the photo above, just look at the lapel facing in juxtaposition to the suit fabric beside it.Love the Tux and the fit is superb. Is this the tux that was released this season?

Hey, sorry if my wording made it appear that I was indicting S&M. I thought I was clear that I was looking for information and only presenting things as they seemed to me. But in summary, we are in agreement. I would like more information about these perceived changes and I try my best not to pass undue judgment on anyone.Mate, you're not deriving information so much as you're speculating and making some very rough inferences. The only thing we can conclude for sure is that the new OCBD batch comes from a different mill.
The buttons? Lighting could very well be making it look more saturated than the previous batch.
The stiffness of the fabric? Could very much have to do with how the shirt cuff was pressed/finished into the packaging
You're still speculating when you're extrapolating that Spier must be cutting costs and making things "worse" (which in and of itself is relative to our own tastes and preferences).
Let's actually withhold judgement until Spier answers us here or someone has the new batch in-hand to compare vs the previous one.
That looks terrific. Is this the slim cut or contemporar?What I Wore Yesterday -

Many thanks. Neo is 38L contemporary. Tuxedo is 40L contemporary.That looks terrific. Is this the slim cut or contemporar?
I just asked a similar question to their customer support about the Ulster code versus the polo coat length, and whether or not the sizing guides that are publicly posted on their listings are accurate to the "new" length. According to s&m customer support, the sizing guides are completely accurate and representative of the current lengths of their Polo coats.Did the polo coat sizing change this year?
I know they're supposed to be longer, which I can attest to but 38S from this year seems to fit much larger than 38S from last year around the shoulder, chest, waist. Seems like 36S from this year will probably correspond to 38S from before.
where are you located?Hi. I have been trying to find a tailor that does functional sleeve buttons for suits. Called a few and everyone says they don’t have the “machine”
Any suggestions? I can change the sleeves to nonfunctional I guess but kinda defeats the purpose of paying additional prices for this higher end pieces
