Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

[sprout2]

I have an unfunded length of mid grey herringbone in the queue to be made up right now. The cloth itself is beautiful, but I have been holding off as it isnt the easiest/ most versatile color to wear as an odd jacket. Certainly a great piece in an established wardrobe though.

That's what I was pondering. For a low complexity, low color look, it can work, though.

My new boughts for ties. The real Hopsack, cashmere and pure linen.

Textured homage!!!

Anyone have a suggestion for: A Navy herringbone summer fabric with a blend of either cotton/linen/silk or wool/linen/silk? (and a link to where to purchase)

Alternatively, a place to buy an unreconstructed, patch-pocket summer blazer with something akin to the above fabric?

These are very nice Sarto, am looking forward to seeing how your ties turn out.

Would love one in that cranberry (?) Drapers cashmere.

You may want to look at Harrison Mirage. I've got no personal experience with it, but many of the designs are rather nice and I've heard good things about it.

Merino Bros has a gallery: http://www.merinobrothers.com/#!mirage/clxw

I have one of their herringbones and it turned out very well. Not featherweight, but otherwise good for warm-ish weather.

Thank you gentlemen. Much appreciated.

I'm getting rid of a few unfunded liabilities due to recent family expansion, including jacketing from Hardy, Johnston and Dugdale. See classified here.

What are everybody's thoughts on cream trousers in winter?

Obviously, cricket white flannels from Fox are lovely, but I am looking for more hardwearing alternatives like a cavalry twill. I found H&S Dakota Plains 953406 13 oz Cava Twill but that's about it.

I believe it is shown here:

I think cavalry twill of that color is winter staple.

Chinos for cold weather.

Have any of you bought fabrics at Philips-Boyne? They are asking for my complete credit card information and I'm not comfortable enough to complete the order.

 

[Grammaton Cleric]

Yes, they're legit.

Why wouldn't a retailer want your full credit card info to complete an order?

Hi All, this might be an obvious question:

Are there any particular stores which sell suiting fabrics directly to the public in Naples? My wife and I will be visiting there as well as Rome. Hopefully the prices significantly marked up. Would be lovely to check out some Solaro fabric as I *think* Caccioppoli is in Naples. Thanks in advance.
