I opted for W/S/L DB last night
UNIFORM LA Japanese BDU Camo Cargo Pants Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Japanese BDU Camo Cargo Pants are now live. These cargos are based off vintage US Army BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) cargos. They're made of a premium 13.5-ounce Japanese twill that has been sulfur dyed for a vintage look. Every detail has been carried over from the inspiration and elevated. Available in two colorways, tundra and woodland. Please find them here
Good luck!.

Very nice! Are these white denim or cotton dress pants? Where from? Fit looks great
Thank you very much.Very nice! Are these white denim or cotton dress pants? Where from? Fit looks great
Due to arrive Thursday.Really good looking suit. Let us know thoughts. There are stylistic redlines for me, but if it's well regarded enough, perhaps they'd run it back next season with my preferred details. To SM's credit, they did that (not to say my input was the reason, obviously) this season on a number of suits...like the Bryson linen I have somewhere en route as I type.
Are you anti-navy SC? If no, grab the Minnis Mock Leno (same fabric book as the Minnis Fresco, though of course a meshier, more beefy weave) for sure. That will be exactly what you’re after if wrinkle mitigation is your goal.What is the product launch schedule typically like with Spier? By when do they release most or all of their new summer sport coats? I am looking for sport coat(s) for casual office wear with very dark blue jeans (cold office even during summers), and although it is cold also outside where I am at now, it will very soon start getting hot outside.
But at the same time I do not like excess wrinkles, and I will be wearing the SC when sitting at my desk as well, giving it plenty of opportunity to get wrinkles. Pretty much all the summer Spier SCs currently available are either pure cotton/linen (definitely not for me) or blends. And from what I understand, under heavy office use, even the blends will get pretty wrinkled?
For example there is not even a single Fresco SC currently available.
Should there be more 100% (or close to 100%) wool/fresco summer-weight SCs available in the near future?
Dapper's W/S/L above doesn't look bad at all in terms of wrinkles - but I am not sure how the fabric would hold up over an entire day with a large amount of sitting? I did see this one that is at least 65% wool:
But of course that lower summer weight I would assume makes even that smaller amount of silk/linen easier to wrinkle...

Thanks.
I'm definitely not anti-navy. However, will that be too close to the jeans color below ("rinse")?

It might not always be that exact color - but I am not a fan of light colored jeans - at least for now. EDIT: I will be wearing more contrasting/light color shirts though, likely with the SC always unbuttoned. Also not sure how the wide Neo Cut lapels look on below average heights like my own (5' 7")?
Curious what office you're wearing denim to. Blue jeans and a jacket is not a professional look. Maybe I'm just out of touch? Also, fwiw I find Neapolitan cuts to be inherently casual and also not entirely office-appropriate. I know lots of guys here probably sport their Neos at the office, but it's a bit flashy for me in that environment- I think I'd feel self-conscious. I do think the big concave lapels don't work as well on smaller frames. I'm 5'8" and I've come to realize the Neo doesn't work for me unfortunately. Anyway I'm sure there's some high twist on the horizon, though high twist suits are more common than sportcoats. In past seasons they've kept releasing OTR jackets out until June I think.Thanks.

My office does not have a business dress policy. Casual non-business dress is allowed (and most of the office dresses casual). Some people voluntarily dress more business casual, and almost no one dresses formal unless visiting a client in-person.Curious what office you're wearing denim to.

Pics?Happy news: we were 100% correct on the weight of the Bryson linen. Absolutely not 9ish ounces.

Agreed. 99% of people don’t have a clue what you’re wearing. Wear what you likeA different opinion here— in no way do I think that the Neo cut is not appropriate for the office. Have worn (non-SM) sportcoats with 4.3” lapels to work (a midwestern medical center) and nobody’s batted an eye. IMO anyone wearing a tailored jacket nowadays is “dressed up”. Nobody’s paying attention to the shape of your lapels.
Can you comment on if the new trouser fit is significantly larger in seat/thigh? ThanksHappy news: we were 100% correct on the weight of the Bryson linen. Absolutely not 9ish ounces.
