I had a DB blazer made in the bottom sample in your swatch picture.

Doesn't wrinkle easily, breathes nicely in warm weather and looks so clean.

Looks great! Is yours also herringbone? If so, does that affect the breathability at all (since it's a tighter weave)?

Anyone have any experience with Standeven Montrose Bay? Saw this and thought it looked and felt very nice for a summer jacket.

Yes, it's herringbone. I have no comparison to cloth with similar composition but looser weave. It certainly wears warmer than pure linen in a plain weave.

Thank you, sir. Have learned much from other members here. Happy ro contribute.

I like herringbone linen as it is slightly more versatile. You can wear it here in Australia during the winters. A 4 season cloth IMO for the Australian context.

recently commissioned a sb suit in this LP cord (88% cotton, 10% wool, 2% elastane). i was a little hesitant about the 2% elastane but i really like the color (sort of a brown/green). does anyone have any positive/negative experiences with cord with stretch?

Pretty. Is the master finally working on something for himself or just teasing with his collection?

No love for the purple?

I'm going to see if I can get some samples done up when I send in the Rangoon POW check early next week.

Any updates on this?

You can't say this and then not back it up with pics. Them's the rules.
