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.

I got this one RTW. It's really quite nice.

Anyone familiar with both the Neo cut and English cut that could elaborate on two things:

1. My understanding is that the front quarters are more closed on the English cut. Are they still rounded and fairly open, or is the front cut fairly straight? I don't mind more closed quarters for my next commission which will be a formal/conservative suit. I just don't want the front quarters to be overlapping.

2. Are the lapels on the English cut cut straight? The Neo cut features negatively bellied lapels which flows well with the open quarters creating an illusion of an X from top to bottom. How's the relation between the straight cut lapels and the closed quarters on the English cut? Does it flow naturally like the Neo cut?

Also considering having the Corozo black nut buttons. Anyone with experience from those buttons? I want something dark for this formal suit but am afraid the Corozo buttons will look plastic-y.

Thanks!

What shade of blue do you consider to be the perfect shade of blue for a classic OCBD? Of course, this is a subjective opinion of what one thinks - but it would be fun to hear what you think.

I like these shades, probably Nr 1 a bit more.

Definitely number 1.

For the purposes of polling, like OPs message for No 1, and this one for No2.

this one hasn’t been in RTW to my knowledge, for Harris tweeds, there was a golden brown herringbone this season and a light brown herringbone last season.

I was actually going to ask you about that. The fabric for mine was called Brown Herringbone and it seemed indistinguishable from the one you posted.

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

How do you pick the Neo 3 ? I don’t see it on the mto interface. Thanks !

Oh it’s the few RTW left, not sure how to do it through MTO

What is the average processing and shipping time for an OTR order?

I live in SoCal, and I usually get my stuff within 2 weeks of ordering...

I think it's only in the beta some a few folks have access to. At some point the new MTO interface will launch.

I had the chance to try the new interface with my latest commission 2-3 months ago.

However, if you want the Neo 3 cut, just write it in the notes; "convert to Neo 3".

Knitwear is incredible value, sweatshirts ain’t it, same with polos from years ago. I think knits are a safe bet tho View attachment 2316779 View attachment 2316781
