Do the F/W '23 balmacaans have enough inlay in the sleeves to have them lengthened by ~2 cm? I've worn the coat for a season and found the sleeves just not long enough.

Thanks for the information!I got the Navy one. I do like it, its not as breathable as other high twists I have but it also feels heavier and flows better. Does attract a lot of lint but that's normal. I use this one when I'm in the road and end up walking quite a bit so that's maybe why I feel it does not breathe as much but holds it's shape well which I prefer. I see if I can take a fit photo
I would imagine so. If you feel inside you should be able to tell if there's extra fabric. I would be surprised if there wasn't enough for at least 2cmDo the F/W '23 balmacaans have enough inlay in the sleeves to have them lengthened by ~2 cm?

At one point I could tell you who, from this thread, were the 46 purchasers (myself being one of them). When Spier only dropped between 1-3 of the 46Rs on sportcoats it'd turn into an "okay, which of you bought it?"I know it's allocated based on purchase behavior, but always amuses me that SCs top out at 46, while most Neo suits size up to 48.

This arrived today and while the fabric is glorious, I was bitterly disappointed to discover that the "unfinished" sleeves are only unfinished as to the surgeon's cuffs. There's no spare fabric at the cuff to get a good custom sleeve length. I wrongly assumed that the unfinished sleeve referenced in the product description included a bit of flexible length as a middle-ground to accommodate L sizes in the absence of actual L sizing in this run (that was probably a stupid assumption). Ugh. Very disappointing because the fabric is just so nice to the touch. I'm stuck returning it, it's way too short in the sleeves. :/

I would greatly appreciate an opinion on thisSo i ended not ordering the high waisted dress trousers after all (as you guys suggested). However, I still think they look awesome and if they fit true to the measurement chart I do not know, why they would not fit.
They are supposed to be 74.smth cm around the thigh (forgot the exact measurements and cannot access Spier's website at the moment). My thigh is around 67cm, I honestly do not know why they wouldn't fit.
Another question: will Spier restock the high waisted denim jeans soon?
I would love to buy the high rise corduroy trousers and one or two pairs of jeans, but I'm afraid they might not fit and shipping from EU to Canada is pricey.

What do you mean lack of L sizing? Right now there's L sizes available in the 40-44 range. Did you just pull the trigger too quickly before they received full stock?Char-Navy Herringbone Tweed Neo Cut Sportcoat | SPIER & MACKAY

Yup yup. I got both the grey and navy from spring 2023. I've worn the navy a number of times. The grey is yet to be tailored. Can provide more insights if needed.Sorry gents I am referring to this suit:

Hi, the upcoming Lovat SC looks very different in the various pics. Which is more accurate? Thanks.

Yeah that quick pull seems to be what happened and my inexperience resulted in misunderstanding what an unfinished sleeve is. Live and learn and I'll know better next time. Unfortunately my size throws an out of stock message now. [Edit: weirdly the site just stopped opening the OOS message and let me load the cart... Thanks for the tip!]What do you mean lack of L sizing? Right now there's L sizes available in the 40-44 range. Did you just pull the trigger too quickly before they received full stock?
