Reviewed: Customization with the Spier and Mackay MTO Program

A couple of months ago, Spier & Mackay launched their online MTO program for suits, sport coats, trousers and waistcoats. I wrote a bit of a walkthrough of the process to help explain what can and can’t be done. When it launched, I placed an order for a sport coat and a pair of trousers, …

Inspiration: Why Blue and Green is a Great Combination

Inspiration: Why Blue and Green is a Great Combination

“Blue and green should never be seen, except with something in between.” Like many pieces of advise, or rules, surrounding dressing well – your mileage may vary.

Wanted to share some more shots of me wearing these sage green @pini.parma Soragna trousers. @dapperclassic wanted to see them in daylight, which was a good call. I think the colour was fairly well represented the first time - a faded green with grey undertones. I call them sage, but they might be interpreted as a washed out olive. 
.
I paired them with my chunky navy hopsack sport coat and soft mint gingham shirt from @spiermackay, granola hopsack tie from @vandafineclothing and pocket square from @rampleyandco. Swipe to see some details 👉
