Cooler weather is incoming, and Spier & Mackay is dropping new clothes left and right in their typical, drip-drip-drip fashion. The New Arrivals page shows all the latest goods, while their Fall Previews page shows things coming very soon. There’s always something new on both pages, so you’ve got to keep up with the updates on those pages to see when new stuff drops.
This season I’m as interested as ever in the classics, with that slightly more rustic edge. For instance, the corduroy chore coats, which give the typical chore coat a little extra fall-winter glow.
Also, I’m fully converted to pleats. It’s been a multi-year journey, folks, but as I’m looking at the trousers, it’s evident to me that the high-rise models with their extra drape and that additional visual detail of the pleat is visually quite pleasing.
While there are a ton of new drops worth looking at, here are 19 I picked out while swiping through, categorized.

Tailoring
Navy high-twist suit [high-twist can be made in both winter and summer weights; this one looks to be a heavier weight, so it has the benefit of high-twist wool’s natural resistance to wrinkles but isn’t so light that it’ll be freezing in the winter]
Brown tweed peak lapel suit [kind of a fun twist on tweed that dresses it up a bit more than a normal notch-lapel suit would]
Medium brown tweed sportcoat/suit separates [the jacket looks great on its own but the fact there are matching trousers makes it great. I love suits made from casual materials like tweed or heavy cotton or linen, to wear casually with chukka boots and knitwear underneath]
Green wide herringbone tweed sportcoat/suit separates [this also is being done in charcoal gray; the green appeals to me a lot as a navy blazer alternative. And there are matching trousers! The charcoal trousers would be highly versatile on their own]
Navy prince of wales peak lapel suit [an unapologetically dressy suit is just what you need sometimes]
Chalk Stripe Flannel Suits in Navy and Dark Gray [inevitably you’ll get gangster comments, but come on, this is an insane and classic style of suit that, in this era where suits are either non-existent or generic, go with something gutsy and don’t succumb to the biggest barrier to upgrading your style]
Trousers
Heavyweight wool pleated trousers [these have a twill structure which would make them somewhat similar to flannel that isn’t brushed, so not soft and fuzzy, but with a great drape]
Wide-herringbone tweed trousers [part of the separates listed above, but would be wearable on their own]
Rust corduroy trousers [yes these are flat-front, but I’d wear these casually with chunky knitwear like the soon-coming navy large seed stitch sweater]
Donegal trousers [flat-fronts again, but again I envision these worn casually with knitwear or chore coats or what have you]
Cream heavy canvas chinos [I have a pair of these from a few years ago that are sadly too tight on me now. But I love the gutsy fabric]
Knitwear
Deep-V camel merino sweater [v-necks with a deep enough neck are for some reason difficult to find]
Brushed shetland sweaters [all-time fuzzy classic sweaters for looking like an Ivy kid in the 60s]
Outerwear
Classic navy peacoat [I love the giant collar/lapels on this coat. Peacoats are such a great staple for dudes who aren’t into big, long, flowy #menswear coats and just want something cool-looking to wear when they’re hanging out with friends or going to the movies or whatever]
Double-breasted prince of wales check coat [what was I saying about big, long, flowy coats? Oh right, they’re badass is what]
Olive corduroy chore coat [the olive color and corduroy give this a more rustic flavor on the typical chore coat which I love]
