An update from Pastena. Cloth is Caccioppoli 80/20 silk/linen. Should make for a excellent casual jacket with undyed denim and stone linen trou.- bourbonbasted

Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread
An update. Big fan of the cloth. The hand is super nubby and the color resolves almost more grey-brown than green at distance, which creates a cool effect. A great casual summer jacket.- bourbonbasted

I’m glad I could inspire a debate. My most recent commission was also (mostly) cotton, so I suppose I am profligate.- bourbonbasted

Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread
I've been mulling a cotton suit for Fall and Spring -- unstructured and no canvas. This mossy LP cloth might be ideal. How silky is the hand? Ideally, I think I'd like something a bit drier and more utilitarian-looking.- bourbonbasted

I ordered a jacket in this washed-out green herringbone. It's definitely on the unique side but I feel the color resolves to a grey-green and the mossy flecks lend a subtle pop. We shall see.- bourbonbasted

Something a bit different. Planning to have a few watch straps commissioned. The skins are so-called "nubuck" alligator from a Hermès tannery (I believe d'Annonay). Likely planning to give the project to David Lane. Big shout out to Nicholas Templeman for supplying the hides!- bourbonbasted

An off angle view, but pleased with how my Zegna CashCo is coming along with Pastena. A lovely cloth that drapes and (per Antonio) tailors incredibly well.- bourbonbasted

Damn, this is sad to hear. I visited the shop in London over the summer and it was an awesome place. Furthermore, Jake is an incredibly cool dude. A buddy plays for the Anglo-Italian cricket team, so maybe I'll see if he has any details. Now I just need to collect the jacket they completed in...- bourbonbasted

I had some shirts made by Anna over the summer. They were listed at 550Є apiece but they extended a discount for cash, paid in person in Naples.- bourbonbasted

I didn't give much direction, tbh. I requested a less formal and more natural, extended shoulder, and this is the result. While the more dramatic Eyetalian expressions have their place, I feel the Neapolitans can get a little exaggerated. As someone with relatively wide shoulders and athletic...- bourbonbasted

Took my latest Pastena commission out for a spin. LP wool/silk seersucker. I'm a big fan of how my requested tweaks -- extended shoulder with minimal padding and a more capped expression, lowered gorge, lowered chest pocket, lowered buttoning point -- panned out. Going to get this same...- bourbonbasted

Cool furniture, design objects and desiderata
Not the same lines/angularity but similar function is Hans Olsens's Fried Egg Chair. More of a shelf than the womb chair (granted, only on one side). https://www.danishdesignstore.com/products/hans-olsen-fried-egg-chair-warm-nordic- bourbonbasted

MC General Chat
Most of those pics are of Aleks Cvetkovic. He's a good dude and a snappy dresser. The biggest risk in tees with suits is the dreaded "Dick in a Box Effect." I'll only wear tees with blended odd jackets and suits -- linen, cashmere, silk, etc. It feels like you need some texture to overcome the...- bourbonbasted

Kicked over to Napoli for a forward fitting of the LP seersucker. Made some tweaks to the standard Pastena silhouette -- lowered the gorge and chest pocket, extended the shoulder and minimized padding, increased the length and swept the skirt a bit. Antonio is also nipping the waist slightly...- bourbonbasted
