REALLY hoping that stone linen suit gets snatched up quickly...I can't take the temptation

All of the new summer suits look real dope. I feel the same way about the green linen 😅.

Hi guys, any idea about new season sage safari 2? texture and colour.

Linen/Cotton Safari Jacket II - The Armoury

@Nickchen3010
I have been enjoying it - I think the picture is pretty accurate, perhaps less yellow? Texture is like "summer tweed", twill and thicker fabric than thinner pure linen jackets they offer

I saw this one on their Instagram a few weeks ago and I was pretty impressed by how it looked.


I’ve been thinking about what I want from a safari jacket for a while, and I was pretty dead set on undyed or white linen until I saw this one. The main thing it has over the oyster linen on the site is that it just looks a lot more rugged and workwear like, which really goes a long way in something like a safari jacket IMO. Good chance I might end up picking one up later this month.

Does anyone have experience with this? Trying to figure out the green shade in real life/natural light https://www.thearmoury.com/products/wool-cashmere-twill-model-3-sport-coat?variant=39473411620935

I like this look and colorblock. Anyone seen the same available here or elsewhere? The set-up is by Ring Jacket.

Great outfit, @Nickchen3010! Can I ask about those sneakers? I like the color.

Think this question was meant for me - the sneakers are from C.QP

It sure was. Sorry about that @relegant. Thanks for the ID!

I'm considering the Wright jacket and would love your input.
The sleeves seem to be pretty long. What is your experience?
Do you take the size you take in model 3? or do you size up? If you size up, how is the sleeve working for you?

Could anyone share MTO/MTM experience at the Armoury with their Ascot Chang or RJ made products? The later price range seems to be close to bespoke at certain places.

I think @hpreston has a number of ring jacket MTO/MTM items...

I can't share any experience, but I agree and would be curious to hear.

I really, really, really like the model 15 -- I was very close to doing a suit in either brown crispaire or a fox brown, but having the pants done by a different maker. According to the NY staff (and Mark), Ring is a hard no for CMT -- I inquired as to both bringing the fabric to them, as well as ordering extra fabric from them for the pants. I ended up taking the project to a different bespoke maker (and the pants maker I wanted), for pretty close to the same price.

With that said, I will still end up with the model 15, and honestly, in retrospect, I'm glad I'm not doing a solid color. I think not having a front dart ultimately looks better with an unbroken pattern.

I have not done MTO with Ascot Chang but I did MTO shirts with 100 Hands through The Armoury and was very impressed. I previously owned several of their standard shirts that fit me quite well minus a few issues, so knew going in the fit tweaks I wanted. Stephon helped me out with selecting fabric/a few details I hadn't considered and the shirts were delivered in 3-4 weeks. Easily the best quality shirts I currently own.

Now looking to do a MTM Ring sport coat once my yearly bonus comes in...

I put in a MTO for a 3PB (made by Ascot Chang) very recently using the same Solbiati linen that the Armoury’s been using a lot in this year’s SS collection, just in a different color. It was as simple as finding the right cloth, the store taking note of both the cloth and my size, and me paying for the order. Not too different from any other RTW purchase aside from the wait time, though it’s probably a much simpler order than whatever you might have in mind.
