Don't trust the tag. NMWA identifies it as:
  • Bottoli 55% linen, 45% viscose fabric
Based on my experience with it, it wears like a typical linen blend in that it is softer than pure linen, it wrinkles slightly less than pure linen, and it retains the breathability of linen. It's exactly the type of high quality product it appears to be and that you would expect it to be.
FWIW...I have the Ascot Chang Safari Jacket from Armoury and it wrinkles way worse than this item. It is very light, breathable, and hardly wrinkles. I put in a steam dryer on low heat and straightens right out.

Good feedback. I have the AC as well and find it heavy for linen and slightly oversized. I’d like something light for warmer days. Especially hustling through airports, those pockets are clutch.

Notice any big differences in sizing?

Very different sizing. I got a XXL in Chang model (per the Armoury guys). It does not fit well . In the Saharina I got a Large. Fits perfect.

ANNOUNCING THE "TRADE-UP" PROGRAM,
A COLLABORATION WITH LUXESWAP

Something I have been thinking about for a long time. It's never been our goal to sell more stuff to our customers, to fill their closets with garments they don't wear. Our goal is to get you stuff you love and want to wear.

I've long been a believer of upgrading closets and replacing things we don't really like anymore, with things we really want.

I've personally used @SpooPoker 's service LuxeSwap before, and as a happy customer, I wanted to simplify for our customers the process of doing the same (selling clothes, hassle-free, through an experienced eBay store) but also offer incentives and a better deal when consigning for store credit.

So, in agreement with LuxeSwap, people using the Trade-Up program to consign their clothes for store credit , will get pretty sweet benefits: a reduced commission from LuxeSwap + a bonus from us (all in, more than 30% extra value over the normal process). Store credit will get posted right after we receive proceeds information from LuxeSwap - no wait, you can shop right away.

This page explains the program in details but feel free to ask questions as we soft-launch this (only to SFers for now). This is new territory, so we may have omitted important information...

Not sure if this is a silly question or not, but items we may choose to consign to LuxeSwap don't have to be originally purchased from NMWA in order to be eligible for the program, right?

That's correct - upgrade your non-NMWA items with nice new NMWA ones :)

Nope, you can send Rolexes, Birkin bags, all that good good.

With clear instructions down to the mailing address label already done, I was on the fence before, but will definitely not think twice about consignment now. NMWA is a good brand. Impressive indeed.

Thanks

Better than pulling one's hair out reading obnoxious requests from bidders on grailed, no?
