TDecent dress shirts I use daily for my job, got a half dozen of them
CI do not think of Spier Mackay.
Ddon't buy anything final sale. But if you need a cheap suit they're hard to beat. I feel like I'm moving into nicer stuff now though
C40 Contemporary jackets fit me perfectly
CI think spier is great for your first 3 suits
CAfter that you can start to MTM and branch out
CRise is a bit too low on the pants and it’s still a bit slim even contemporary, so I have to size up at least once and have my tailor take the waist in and let out the seat
CProbably the biggest thing I’d change if I go mtm or buy from a different brand
CI think the shirting is kinda meh
TI got a contemporary medium casual oxford recently and I'm returning it for a contemporary large. Their contemporary fit shirts are definitely what any other store would call "slim" IMO. For me it's the armpit that's the most limiting factor.
Other than that, I love the shirt and I'm excited to get the large one.

BTheir standard stuff ends up being quite good for the price imo. Anything they try to do with spice just ends up being awful imo. I also second chuck’s thoughts on the general fit
CI have a closet full of S&M suits I get a thousand compliments on and that look way better than every other suit at weddings I’ve been too
CIt kinda takes owning and wearing a few of them to understand what they’re missing
Wi still have the green (?) cotton s&m suit of yours saved but honestly worried spier won’t fit me the same way, especially because of the pants
CYeah that’s one, pants could definitely be slim. They have a buck of measurements but I don’t think any pants open wider than 8”
CWould be an epic MTM
TSpier is good for entry level and the vast majority of people don’t need/want to get past that
TDesign-wise they’re pretty much blatantly copying other menswear brands but it’s also not like there’s been that much innovation within the last ~60 years anyway
TTheir fabrics are mostly ok but are always lacking the little key details that I want (e.g. lightweight linens rather than heavier linens)
TTheir choices of pattern are usually pretty ugly tbh and it takes a good eye to identify what to get and what not
JI love Spier, but wish they could have slightly more consistent fitment between garments in their various fabrics. Never had a major issue, but could go for more consistency.
Overall superb for basics, and imo a hard value to beat. Sure, a fair bit comes from other’s catalogues, but if you can get comparable still at like 1/4 of the price, I think that’s chill.
Def never thought I’d say this, but their pants are too slim. I busted a side seam in the top block of my chinos the other day, and don’t even have thick thighs.

TPants are def on the slim side
NI love Spier. Only bought their shirts though. I might try their chinos and shorts but i'm a little concerned with the fitting since i definitely don't wear slim. I'd suggest buying different sizes of the same product, keep the best fitting one, then return the rest for free. Done it quite a few times.
NHas anyone here ever tried their Paper Chinos? Curious what they mean by "feeling like paper"
BDry and a crunchy fabric I presume. The product description seems to nail it tbh
JStyleforum didn’t seem to like the paper chinos
CStyleforum doesn't like a lot of things. Including modernity and the invention of sneakers.
CI don't like loafers
AAnyone actually visited the storefront? Heading to Mississauga for work in a few weeks, wondering if it's worth stopping in to dial in my size
JAbsolutely disgusting. How dare you insult my footwear of choice
JMy tassel loafers weep
TYes, it’s a warehouse in the back and basically a Men’s Wearhouse in the front
TI personally think it’s worth it but I hate doing returns
AThanks Virt! Will drop in on lunch. Appreciate the tip
TDon’t expect anything in the way of service though lol
TThere’s a reason they’re able to offer things for so cheap
JI have an appt to visit in October, when I have a trip to Toronto.
AWhat's the verdict on their chinos and linen pants
JI like them, especially on sale. I’d suggest going for the contemporary fit, because they tend to be slim.
I bought their Hollywood trouser a bit ago and love it. Should have some linen high rise chinos coming in next week too

ANice, thank you
AAnd what about the polos
ASo many models so I'm a bit lost on the variety as I'm about to buy a few
JI’ve only really gotten their Johnny collars.
Got one regular one last season with an old button down collar design and it’s too weird. Basically a regular button down collar but on a polo.
Also have another knit one that I like. Quality on all of them is pretty good. My oldest are ~2 years now and I haven’t had any problems

JThere are a few too many styles of polo rn tbh
AI'm eyeing the Knit version
AMight check the Johnny one and the OBDC collar one looks intriguing
AWill also kop a shirt collar one unless the Johnny one turns out to be class
JI dig the Johnny collars. Pretty much all I’ve worn this summer and last. Have one on rn too haha
DThe knit polos are dope but I had to buy Large when I'm normally a medium. Overall I'm obsessed with Spier and think their stuff is fantastic for the money. I have been wearing their linen shorts, seersucker shorts and shirts, bought a knit linen suit, I love their stuff
JHow’s the knit linen suit? Is it the one with the drawstring trousers?
I’ve been staring at the Sage knit linen for ages lol
