Yeah I love the look of the green suit, but the trousers s/o in my size in a couple days. Jacket is still there, but couldn't get a suit out of it unless I could MTO the trousers here in a few weeks.
MTO in a few weeks? Did I miss Rick saying this?

Rick, will the VBC fresco trouser materials be available for making jackets via MTM? namely the medium blue, light brown, or green? Or will you be releasing full suits of these materials? Thanks

On the 42 regular suit jacket, it looks like the only difference between contemporary and slim is 0.4 inch in the waist and 0.2 inch in the length. Can I expect the contemporary jacket to fit the same as the slim everywhere else including the collar, chest, back and shoulders?

It’s a bit upsetting that I’ve apparently gained some weight and all my favourite pieces don’t fit me anymore... regardless, however, as much as I HATE denim with sport coats (though to each their own), these Sondrios will make all your outfits look humbly superior to those of your peers. (No offense to the guys at the downtown showroom ;))

Some of us have to incorporate Denim in our work wardrobe. Ain’t nothing wrong with wearing Denim. Now those pants are sick! And yes with my luck they were sold out in my size. Please ask Rick if any fabric is left over so you can make me a MTM. Cheers Bud!

Yeah, I think those denim Sondrios are going to be one of the hits of SS19

Question about these denim Sondrio trousers - they are described as “high rise” but come in both contemporary and slim fits. Are the slim, which are generally lower rise than the contemporary, also high rise or just “higher rise”, making them more of a mid-rise?

I ordered slim high rise on the tobacco pants due to availability, and the rise when I sized up one is about the same as standard rise contemp.

The high rise is only .5" higher than the standard fits I believe

Do the size tags on S&M dress shirts chafe the hell out of anyone else's neck? I know it's a small tag but I guess my undershirt collar is low enough to let the tag get me. I'm about to seam-rip them all out...

Never happened to me with S&M, but I used a seam ripper to take apart all the tags on my old Calvin Klein shirts. Those were scratchy AF!
