Anyone feeling like they missed out on 40L E Thomas Glen Check + 40L Navy Minnis Fresco should shoot me a PM. Glen Check doesn't work and Navy Fresco arrives today. Expecting the same results.

All my bike racing has made me quite the awkward size. 6'4", 165lbs. Need a Slim 38L. MTO it is.

Anyone pick up the linen pants? Thinking about getting the Cigar linen and cream linen. I'm getting married in June in the DR and they're having an all white party first day we land. Cream isn't quite white but close enough.
I picked up a bunch of different colors of the linen pants including a pair of the cream ones. Still waiting for a shipping notice so fingers crossed.

Here is the Solaro that came back from the photographer today colour corrected. You can see it's not as saturated as before. This is pretty close to the real deal. Keeping in mind your monitor or device is colour balanced as well.

Will try to get outdoor IRL pics in a day or so.

That is pretty accurate. Tried to capture the essence of the Solaro in these shots

Interested in these but too few posts to PM. Here's to one closer...

For those who purchased and received the Solaro, what is the verdict so far?
Just dropped my pants off to be hemmed but I really like it. Not quite the same as the original SOlaro fabric from Smith & Woolens or the Loro Piana that Tim posted but for a lightweight Summer wool suit it is pretty sweet. The herringbone pattern is subtle and it has a great hand.
