I wear the navy all the time, even when doing some light hiking. It's a great piece and I, too, wonder why nobody else seems to be buying one.Thought I would mention that I picked up the Olive Teba recently and feel quite positive about it. I note that there appears to be almost no Teba feedback on here and these seem to be selling relatively poorly. A shame!
In brief, I feel that it looks far more elegant than the typical “shacket” and has far more versatility for being dressed up or down. In particular, the button stance seems to sit very well with only the middle button fastened. The sizing, by my account, is TTS with the sport coat sizing. The sleeves are a bit longer.
The linen used drapes well and feels quality - if, perhaps, not as nice as the very heavy linen that showed up last year on some of the suiting and field/safari jackets.
Downsides: there is (what appears to be) fusible on the front panel of the jacket. I also assume that the ‘lapel’ is fused. This is akin to the safari jacket construction, I think. I also note that the classic Teba lapel buttonhole has no matching button - ie the collar cannot be closed unless you add a button.
At ~$200 cad it’s a pretty reasonable buy. I think it’s a great pattern and I hope Spier takes advantage to make some nice FW tweeds or finer summer offerings in future years.
I also grabbed the Hollywood trousers and am quite happy. Curious if anyone picked up the 100% silk gun check sport coat as well. Very curious to hear feedback on the latter.
