I know these pieces well and I like the fact that this fit is sharp and well put together, but all the pieces are actually comfortable (not too heavy or stiff). It’s a sharp look that actually wears very soft.

I love this earthy and suave look. Browns are such an endlessly fascinating and versatile color (for me, lately) -- from the hint of green in the trousers and orange of the sweater. I feel like I could live happily in brown tones the rest of my life.

Went to go pick up some trousers I'd had hemmed and got the chance to take some fit pics for once. This was the first time I'd gotten to take this Inglese Work Shirt out for a spin. It was soft and comfortable. It reminded me a bit of being younger and throwing on a flannel for an outer layer, but it's specifically made for being that outer layer, which is cool. The base layer is Merz and the belt is Inis. I was basically a walking NMWA ad today.

The pants are, in order, Big John Rare Jeans (no longer carried by NMWA, so I had to get a new pair directly from Japan), Graziano & Gutierrez in the brown and navy, and Rota High Rise Linen.

Awesome to see the Graziano & Gutierrez trousers. What's the feel & vibe of the fabric? Kenshawn in the IG video referred to the fabric as being close to a kind of upholstery fabric, and G & G I think are calling the fabric a chambray.

The vibe is very raw denim-ish. The feel is rough and slubby - sort of like a raw shantung silk but with cotton. I can see calling it a kind of upholstery fabric, though it's not as heavy as upholstery fabric. It'll be a cool fabric to wear.

Interesting. Thanks, that's very helpful. It sounds like it could work with a Shetland or one of the new Wythe hunting jackets?
