A couple of months ago, Spier & Mackay launched their online MTO program. 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, knowing that their off-the-rack fits me quite …

Per my usual Sunday routine, I was putting together my outfits for the week, when I noticed the first two I’d compiled …
