Another Bigi 36oz/Inglese. Looking forward to the GI MTM/preorders from earlier this year (due this month ?).

Caccioppoli changes their fabric collections every year so you can never be sure of what is available from them.  

We haven't started working on Formosa picks for spring 2017 - so suggestions are welcome


The brown WSL from Drapers would be fantastic. The green one from this year wasn't hot at all even at 95 degrees.

The original preorder on the garment dyed bomber showed the grey to be much lighter. Is this "dark grey" the same (due to lighting) or a change in color?

Also, measurements pointing me to size down, but I'm thinking is it a relaxed TTS fit?

Ok so the Geller quilted bomber -- TTS or size one down?

TTS on this one

Sorry about that - it's ultimately us grabbing a few pre-order photos with a point and shoot in the showroom, and not being set up to color correct them with anything but our memory. The product shots are shot by a professional and are color corrected on-site, so they end up more accurate.

Here is a shot of the jacket in the showroom, where it looks lighter - you can see the white in the images to be a bit blown-out, so I guess I should have known this image presented it lighter than it actually was, but my memory belied me at the time and I kept it as-is for the pre-order page.




Compare that to the professionally edited and color-corrected photo, and you can see it's indeed a little darker than presented months ago.




One last thing to keep in mind is that this item is garment-dyed, and it's entirely possible the sample is slightly different than the production models. I don't have a way of getting my hands on the sample, so I can't confirm.


Either way, I love this thing as you can tell by our need to order it in three (!!) colors

Looks like the magenta (or dark fuscia) turned out darker than the original photo and more in line with the darker runway photos? Or am I seeing things? I've been hoping this whole time it ended up darker. Patiently waiting for my package in the mail :)

I tried on the magenta and the gray the other day when I stopped by the office. From my recollection, they were on the darker side, like the runway photos. The magenta was the standout for me and I hope people snatch that up quickly.
