Also, in the off chance this would sway Rick to offer it RTW for F/W: how does everyone feel about a navy chalk stripe Neapolitan suit?

That is an excellent idea and a staple of a business wardrobe.

C'mon man, we're SPIER & MACKAY.

The one I have is a double zip. So it would be.

OMG... I have been searching for this for so long! Would buy 100%.

Also, an odd question... do you have any information on the work conditions in the factory you use? I made a promise to myself to only buy ethically produced clothing since I have most of my staples accounted for. I tend to break this promise occasionally, but I've always been curious about S&M.

Thanks @spiermackay for not putting faux button holes on the brown fresco jacket. I'm probably in the minority but you deserve thanks for days.

You have working button holes on yours?

By not putting faux button holes, I meant no holes/stitching at all.

i noticed that too on my AFB fresco. But then the Ethomas Gun Check had faux button holes.

Great to hear that they're moving in this direction. More than once my tailor refused to remove the faux buttonholes because "they are too thick". I understand that in-house S&M tailor can do it but not my tailor and I dont want to change because other jobs were done well.

For people that have removed the faux buttonholes, were there noticeable marks on the fabric? Been meaning to do it myself with a seam ripper on 1 jacket what i got the sleeves shortened

Duly noted!

Thinking about giving the OCBDs a try.

You'll love them. For the price point they can't be beat.

3 season fabric would be a nice weight for a chalk stripe suit. Something like this VBC

Make it charcoal chalk stripe, and I'm on board.

3 Piece! Would also welcome a 1/2 inch increase in trouser rise

No, my tailor removed them without issue when she shortened the sleeves and moved the buttons up.

Dark Navy Flannel with a wide Chalk Stripe.

Was originally a SuSu La Spalla, but I never forgot it.
