Have the perfect purple herringbone tweed from Holland & Sherry
I saw a purple tweed somewhere on my recent Italy trip - I made a comment about how it was nice for a purple fabric. I just can’t remember who’s sartoria it was though or if it was a store - that could’ve been it too. .

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?

Some reputable houses sometimes put in 2% or so. No opinion either way. My guess is you won’t notice.
