If this is real, I want to know more about it.

It's real. Email MH about it.

It is Turducken season, so why not order a linen Fresco?

Nothing like a few diminutive turds to liven up the holidays.

Not exactly selling the linen fresco with that comparison. Turducken sucks.

Curious where they split the difference. Heavier weighted (12+ oz?) I'm assuming?

I have had a few suits made of 50/50 linen/wool (no-name samples from online jobbers), and have been really happy with them. Around 300g, holds a crease fairly well compared to pure linen, a pleasant hand, pretty durable and very cool to wear. For something that is not strictly business, it's a good option.

I have a 250 gram wool charcoal olive green linen suit made from a dormeuil cloth which is surprisingly drapey, has body and does not crease as much.

Next thing they need to make is a fresco silk suit 😅

Dear gents,
I'm looking to commission a barleycorn tweed jacket in a greyish mid-brown with plenty of contrasting shades in it.
Somewhat similar to this fine example.
Could gentlemen make any suggestions?
Many thanks indeed, and apologies for asking again..!
