Wondering about sizing since I live in Europe--I wear a size 44 in Suit Supply's Havana fit, which is nearly perfect (slightly tight OTR when I button the jacket). I suspect I'd be a 36 slim at S&M. How do the sleeves compare? I have pretty thin arms!

Just back tracking through the thread, it was said that the Moon light brown tweed didn't photo accurately on the website.

How close is it to the Moon donegal Oatmeal, would it make a good substitute for those of us that missed out?

Any photos of the two next to each other would be super helpful.

I would order a 44 Slim in S&M. Going from a 44 to a 36 is the equivalent of going from an XL to an XS.

We have some 34's, but a 36 slim should work as well, just keep in mind the shoulder will be a touch wider by 1 cm.

I'm not sure if anyone cares, but I thought I'd give my 2 cents on Spier & Mackay. Overall, amazing value. From polos and chinos to trousers and sport coats, it's the best value items I've found.

Polos: Very happy, great price. Loading up on these.

Sweaters: Very happy, great price. Loading up on these.

Shirts: Very happy, great price, great options in sizing. I've now ordered all of the designs I like and now just waiting for some new designs.

Trousers: Good value, good cut (still trying to figure out my ideal sizing), great selection of staples. Hoping to see some more non-staples too. Plan to buy a bunch of their pants.

Sport Coat: This is where things are a bit trickier for me. Not only am I a 38L, which is hard to find, but I'm very particular about the shoulder. The shoulder is VERY natural, and in my opinion, too natural. I like some roping/rollino on the shoulders to give it some more structured look. The rest of the jacket is great (although I could use a smaller armhole), especially the Neapolitan style with the lapels. I'd love to see the Neapolitan style with a pleated rollino shoulder. SuitSupply actually has a "pleated shoulder" that I'm a big fan of, but it's very rarely used on their models.


Overall, I really like what Spier & Mackay are doing. Not only do I plan to buy more, but I've also shared it with many friends. I imagine most of my future purchases will be either from S&M or SuitSupply.
