Mist tunic ordered so I can mist year-round with the alpaca/silk version.

Also are there different "shades" of colorways? I have a hawthorn with green in the mix and another that's identical to the swatch. Wondering if the former was mislabeled.

I own two tunics already and about a dozen IM sweaters, but that Marram might have to make it 13. Also liking the Sea Campion.

Those are some really beautiful fabrics. Marone and henna would be my picks. Would look great with navy.

Gorgeous fabric options as always @gdl203, was wondering if you could comment as to what you felt were the difference between the linen silk mix and the the pure linen, besides the obvious color choices. Does it feel substantially difference or is the primary difference in between the two optical?

Substantially the same weight. The 100% linen feels a little bit denser knit, maybe. As you would expect the hand is smoother on the 100% linen and a little bumpier (slub) on the silk/linen. In theory, silk is warmer than linen, but with only 10% content and a rather open weave, I'm not really sure there is a difference in how they wear.

I think the focus is really on whether you want the slubby texture or not.

Thanks, Greg. Guess the logical solution is to buy both. Is there a preorder discount code this round?

Old pics were fine - I just couldn't be bothered to dig them up!

Yes, it is PREORDER15.

The donegal colors are only available in 100% linen so maybe one of those and a silk/linen in solid?
