I ordered an MTO shirt with M101S0046S SUVIN GOLD Twill fabric. Only washed and worn twice and the collar already pilled (see pic). I’ve never had shirt that’s collar pilled so quickly, if at all, but then again I’ve never had one with suvin gold cotton before. The fit was great, though I already had a number of Kamakura shirts and knew what to tweak.
Dear Mr. Jay E.K.
Thank you for reaching out. We're sorry to hear about the issue with the collar of your MTO shirt made with M101S0046S SUVIN GOLD Twill fabric. We haven’t received similar complaints about this fabric, so we’d like to better understand the situation. Could you please let us know how you washed and ironed the shirt? This information will help us investigate further.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to resolving this for you.
I really was taken by the brown, blue, and white colors of the shirt. But when I got the shirt, I found out how much I like the fabric and fit. I am 5’9” tall and 186lbs, and the fit is close without being snug. Just the way I like it.
Fits perfectly, well constructed, fantastic fabric. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I would buy 6 more of these so I could wear them every day if that wouldn’t be weird.
The first thing that you notice is the lovely material: although unlined, there is nothing flimsy about this jacket. Then, when you try it on, you realize that the cut is fantastic: the collar and the drape are particularly good. This is one of those garments that look much better on than they look by themselves (always a sign of quality). The colour, too, is even nicer than in the website's images.
I hesitated between an M and an L, and finally went for an M. I believe it is the right size for me in width and length, although perhaps the sleeves on the L would have worked better for me lengthwise.
I expect that this will look better and better with age, and cannot wait to see how it patinates. It really is head and shoulders above other jackets of this kind.
