Spier & Mackay Red Label vs. Core Suit
Hello, looking to buy my first suit, and I’m wondering if it’s worth spending an extra ~$100 on their Core suit. I won’t need to wear it more than 5 times a year. The only differences I could see from their descriptions was that the core suit has Australian wool, super 110s, and Bemberg lining. Also, there is a Red Label suit on final sale for $175 - would it be crazy to get that? I can afford any of these options, just want to get a feel if it would be worth it for how much I would wear it. Thanks!
For reference, this is the core suit ($390) at checkout): https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/navy-suit-8799
Red Label ($280 at checkout): https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/navy-suit-9697-ns01-9705-nt01-mx

Chino Hemming
I just bought a pair of chinos that came unhemmed, and have a couple questions on what to do. I have a pair of Goodfellow(target) chinos that say 30" inseam and fit well. However, I just measured them and they're really like 29" and a bit extra, is that because of the extra material that is folded up and sewn?
Also, is it just a plain hem that I should ask for?

Spier and Mackay Shirt Sizing
Hello, about to buy a few shirts and am a bit concerned after reading that Spier & Mackay tends to be smaller than people expected. I measured myself at 37" chest, 34" sleeve. 5' 9" 155 for reference. I also have a dress shirt from Calvin Klein which is a 15 slim which I think fits well.
I'm planning on ordering 15 contemporary, can I get a sanity check on that? Would 15 slim be too small? Here is their fit guide https://www.spierandmackay.com/fit-guide/size-chart-sportshirts
