Does anyone have their Brown & Green Guncheck Wool Harrington jacket? How is the quality and does it fit true to size?

I don't have a Harrington, but I have a bomber in this fabric and it is my favorite casual jacket. Quality is what you'd expect from Spier at this price point - fabric from Moon is great, on everything else they cut corners. My biggest issue is that horn buttons are not sewed with a reinforcement on the back, so they are quite wonky. It is still really good for the price

Which ones do you have from Spier? Any comments on quality, lasts, sizing? Hard to find up to date info on it.

I have the espadrille which I don't see up there anymore, oxford, loafers, and the woven loafer. My experience on sizing is similar to most gyw footwear, 1/2 down from brannock or tts. I went tts on the woven loafers and am happy. Shoulda went up 1/2 on the espadrille. Depends on how you like em to.fit. Not as narrow as Meermin, more similar to Thursday or Rancourt, less volume/more narrow toebox than Grant Stone in general.
I think they are good value especially when on sale. Not fully leather or anything but nice construction, leather, and lasts overall imo.

Edit: mine are all older versions/models except for the woven loafer

Thanks for the reviews. What size did you go for in the down blazer?

My normal size, L/42. I think it will be fine with a dress shirt, might be a bit tight with chunkier knitwear.

I'm in the States and just ordered custom jacket that was below $800 before tax and over $800 after S&M applied taxes. Will I also have to pay import taxes?

It sounds like I will have to pay customs and duties on this. Does anyone have a round estimate of how much import tax will be on an $870 jacket?

I THINK it's 4% so like $35

Okay, that makes me feel better. I was looking up some stuff that was saying more like $225 and I was reconsidering the universe.

I certainly could be mistaken but I was thinking that over $800 incurs a flat 4% tax so hopefully that's correct.

well, I'm hoping my Neo 3 clear custom before tariff happens, finger crossed on that

Maybe we'll see a resurgence in American sweatshops.

If I were to custom order a Mock Leno jacket, would there be any advantage to having full canvas in a cloth like this? I am leaning towards doing a half canvas without lining to keep it cool and light. Thoughts?

I've just purchased a jacket from S&M. I live in France. I decided to pay all custom fees to UPS instead of letting S&M handle it. Here is why.

So, basically I saved almost 100$!

How did you do that? What it an option at checkout or something?

New Harris Tweed MTO, firstly here's the IG pic from 2023 to jog your memory, and the actual real life photos taken in natural light below it. The fabric is clearly lighter, but still very nice.
