Still no Neo 3

Noticed that and am pretty sad. The only good thing is that I can create a Neo 3 via MTO.

Oh where, I only see Neo as a selection, not Neo 3 specifically

Sorry. I should have been more clear. I can re-create the Neo 3 look by choosing the standard option, 4.25" lapels and roped shoulder.

is that Neo 3, I thought Neo generally have lower gorge?

There's a lot of options. Wool slacks, flannels, chinos and even jeans can work. I'd focus on neutral solids to give you more versatility. I have brown, navy, stone, cream, taupe, charcoal and green colored trousers and I feel like I'm well equipped to match every shirt and jacket combination. Sorry it this advice was a bit generic.

Also I may be in the minority but I do not like high rise trousers. Both a personal feel thing but I also think they look kind of old timey cosplay except within a very well tailored suit.

I've found trousers with a higher rise just work better with my proportions; I have a pair of S&M's summerweight chinos in the high rise and I like how they fit and look (although the fabric is another story).

Flannel works best for both casual and business casual. I also really like covert. I tend to feel that denim doesn’t isolate cold much but a pair of dark selvedge denim is nice to have. Spier has heavy weight chino, and moleskin that are great. My wardrobe is essentially what I mentioned in beige, dark brown, cream, stone, navy and olive.

Yeah - I have been looking at grabbing a pair of dark selvedge denim, but I run cold and our winters regularly get below freezing, so that's more of a fall and spring item here. Glad to hear their heavyweight chinos are good - I didn't love their light weight summer chinos. The fabric is too thin, even for a lightweight chino.

Just tried on the Spier denim that I ordered a couple of weeks ago, and have to give credit where it's due: the color (two-year wash) and overall feel of the jeans is great. I've only really purchased raw denim jeans in the past decade or so, so this was a bit of a departure for me, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless.

The only minor hiccup being that one of the copper rivets popped off within a few seconds of trying them on. Still, I'm not terribly upset since they were a Final Sale purchase. Looking forward to wearing these out and about.

I’d love to hear from anyone who buys one of these. I’ve been looking for a navy shawl collar cardigan and there are so many options out there. Curious as to how the quality of Spier’s stacks up.

I have a few cable knit cashmere sweaters from a few years ago and they are pretty good! I hope these cardigans would be made to the same standard

Ah well, i pulled the trigger and purchased two jeans (36 and 38) with that touch of spandex. Albeit not being high rise, i'm looking forward to this. Even if they do not fit perfectly, i assume they will still fit somehow because of the spandex and i might just wear them casually. I would have prefered a try of the high rise trousers, but these are not available. Since purchasing just two items from Canada to Germany does not make sense i got some other more casual stuff hoping it will fit. Cargo pants in 38, one of the waxed jackets in 44 (hope its not too large), a down padded vest, a t shirt and 2 pullovers. Kind of excited, hope the stuff will fit comfortably enough. Considering the size charts it should.
