Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

Classic stuff like houndstooths, puppytooths, glenplaids, tattersalls and ginghams

I'm willing to take a look. Bonfanti does nice stuff, and CMT with Ascot Chang is a nice deal.

Fresco would be ultra-durable but a little scratchy for trousers. It'll retain its line well.

You could look at Cacciopoli and Minnis for linen/wool.

The scratchiness and whether it is an issue sort of depends on the person IMO. I have no real issue with it personally, but it definitely couldn't hurt for him to try a pair of Fresco trousers before ordering anything in bulk.

I'd also add Kerry Knoll for linen / wool blends as it is a very cost effective option. I have a suit made up in it and absolutely love the fabric. Will probably get some dove grey trousers in the same linen / wool (45/55 I believe) for next summer.

Whoever improves on this custom cloth run game by creating a super simple online checkout process will have my cold, hard cash, and I wager plenty of other members', too...

+1 I get mine half lined and sure, a little conscious of it for the first few wearings but then it's fine. All cloth gets softer with wear.

Fresco fact: Had a motorcycle accident in a Fresco suit (10 oz) recently. Busted up my knee. Apart from a little blood that washed out the pants were undamaged.

But did your Fresco helmet get scratched?

^ Awesome fact, @Pliny. Hope the injuries are healing up nicely.

I might well be interested depending in the design. Keep me in the loop

Wanted to post up a jacket I had made (for my partner) with some of the fabric I posted up, comments appreciated too:







Looks pretty good so far I think.

He went to the fitting in a v neck?

We're on holiday and our shirts we ordered didn't arrive yet. =[

Iso, it looks too tight at the hips. Also, if you want solid feedback, you should have the person taking the pictures take a couple of steps back to reduce the lens distortion.

Thanks. I will make sure next time.
