No worries Cleav. At the risk of raising GC's hackles I'll mention again that it's from Drapers.

Is there a perfect (light weight) gunclub? .. Dunno, but this is close IMO.
Probably can't order from them personally but I expect your tailor can.

I am pretty sure it's from Loro Piana Cloud cashmere and silk bunch. I can get the serial number for you next time I go to my tailors.

I can assure you that you won't be able to find it now with Drapers. I happen to know them well and asked directly a while ago. Not available and 100% sure.

Any opinions on the dugdale Super 120 + Cashmere bunch?

Currently debating a db blazer suit in brown in either New Fine Worsted solid or Birdseye from http://www.dugdalebros.com/online-shop/super-120s-bunch-137/8853/ or http://www.dugdalebros.com/online-shop/super-120s-and-cashmere-bunch-203/1320/

Also getting a sb 3 piece in navy birdseye deciding between the Royal Classic (http://www.dugdalebros.com/online-shop/royal-classic-bunch-130/9744/) and 120 + cashmere (http://www.dugdalebros.com/online-shop/super-120s-and-cashmere-bunch-203/1319/)

I got this impression that the whole cashmere and supers thing is mostly advertising, so I'm not sure if they are actually nicer. fwiw I'm not too bothered by the weight I think they are all within what I want.

It also depends on how much you would like to spend on cmt. On the higher end I know Gordon Yao accepts CMT but not for the first commission. Among value for money tailor Browns and Dream bespoke are recent SF favorites.

A-Man is my tailor here and I highly recommend them.

Thank you.

It's an excellent cloth, and I'll be keeping the Rangoon from January onwards exclusively for a very special project...
