New "wrinkle-resistant" shirts + ginghams.

YES.

One quip though - only full spread collar? =/

I was taking a look at the sale stock of jackets and noticed that there's still a ton of sizes left in the Amicale Baby Camelhair. I wonder why specifically...is it the price itself, or that the baby camelhair is less versatile than I think it is?

I figure it's more of a tonal kind of look with sand flannels and stuff but you can add contrast with mid or dark greys or greens. If anything, it might even be a decent softer alternative to the upcoming oatmeal donegal...

Thanks!

I put a bid on a shag-lined Border. Aside from not having raglan sleeves, I dig this one a lot. I may end up keeping both and still wanting a Beaufort, hahah.

Edit: Offer accepted. I got a great deal on the lined Border, if it is as described. Next up is to get some wax and a hood. Storm hood or standard snap-in? I'm leaning toward the bigger storm hood right now.

I've wondered the same thing. I bought it at full price when it came out and have no regrets. The weight is perfect for winter office wear (not too heavy for indoors) and the fabric is so soft and luxurious that everyone wants to touch it (hahaha). It's also versatile - there isn't much it doesn't go with.

I personally prefer the camel colour more for coats/sweaters/trousers. It's not something I could pull off as an individual jacket - especially when a khaki colour comes close and is better suited for the summer.

S&M definitely needs to get a unified online measurement database as soon as possible for MTM shirts.

I totally get I'm probably a pain ********** to deal with with my changing tastes for shirt fit on what's most flattering on me, while going to the gym, but this would make it easier and more convenient for both sides.

As it stands, I have to pm/e-mail back and forth for recommendations and updating measurements which can take weeks, and I have to keep prodding.

I'd buy it but can't justify it this year. Weddings leave you vaguely broke haha.

If it's still around at Christmas and my size is in with a huge discount I'll likely grab it.
