Wife hated the Contemporary fit haha, so she has me ordering my fav colors in the slim fit to compare. On that note, @spiermackay I placed an order for a 33 in the mid grey but need a 32. Any chance the in store inventory has one? If not I will try the 33 and take in the waist if they work. I placed a note on the order but hoping you may be able to confirm for me Rick. I can PM the order number if needed but I just placed it a few min ago.

@Burzan did you ever try the slim fit? Looks like there is some room to spare in these contemporaries.

I agree. It looks a little too roomy.

Edit, but it looks like you can just have it altered. The Slim maybe too slim?

I have chicken legs so even the slim fit in dress pants, I have them taken in the legs a little. However on the chino's they fit fine

Contemporary fit looked perfect, Burzan! Looked trim and comfortable, not baggy or too skinny. Perfect silhouette to pair with an SC

Gentlemen, the wife has spoken.

She said they look fine from the front but the back looked very shapeless and the seat was not flattering at all on me. I think she's not used to seeing me in a more traditional looking fit. If I wre any sport coats I would agree with you but maybe in this case the style is just too far removed from my current style preference.

Altering could possibly be an option but we'll see what the slims are like.

Here is a pic of J Crew Bowery slims on me, these have about an inch less leg opening (.5" flat), lower rise, and a more trim profile over the Contemporary. This is more along the lines of a typical fit for me.

Gentlemen, the wife has spoken.

LMAO, pretty much.

The slim fit isn't that slim anyway, if you can fit into it, it will be business appropriate.

@Burzan - I have the same issue. Anything not-slim is way too baggy in the seat/crotch/back of the thighs, but in the mid-thigh area I could always use some extra room. I too considered the contemp fit but the slim is already loose-ish in the seat/rise area so its a no-go without serious alterations.

I just live with the very slim-look in the thighs even though I always wish I could have an extra inch or so. Contemporary would have too much room elsewhere, just as it does for you.

Sounds just like me indeed, I am optimistic in the slim fit now because I would really love to keep these flannels, they are just too awesome.




PS to everyone, looks like the new jackets are up online if anyone is itching to jump on them.

Hi Rick,

It looks like there won't be any 36S for slim sportcoats...?

 

[Mr Clemson]

Blue hopsack or herringbone sportcoat? Can't decide!

I just received the following e-mail from Spier & Mackay:

“Pre-Order our New Fall Suits.

The wait is almost over. Our new Seasonal Fall suits are on the way. Order yours today and save. Excellent weights and textures to truly make your cool weather look razor sharp. 6 new suits and 6 new sportcoats to help ward off the cold in style.

However, clicking on any of the links in the e-mail simply takes one to S & M’s usual suit page. What is the correct link to the 6 suits and 6 sport coats pre-order?

Thanks.

The new suits are on the regular page. They should be sorted by default to newest first and those top ones are the new ones from the new factory, same with the sportcoats.

So the only thing identifying the new ones available for pre-order is that they're listed first? Bizarre.

If this is true, by the way, then apparently they're only available in slim fit.
