I have a summer jacket from the old Carlo Barbera for H Lesser (CBHL). It is S120 but feels lux like cashmere. I am surprised how well it resists creases give how soft it feels. I also have a 3 piece suit from a vintage length of Barbera for Lesser around 9/10 oz. Also has a nice silky luxurious feel to the cloth but the pants seem to crease a bit. It is possible that CBHL is more optimal for jackets than for pants.
I suspect Barbera would make cloths to different specs depending on the client. At least compared with Lesser 8/9, the CBHL is less hard wearing and more lux. I don't have any jackets or coats made from cloth Barbera made under their own label.
That's amazing. I'm curious whether others here tried Barbera fabrics and how they compare to English fabrics such as Harrisons, Scabal and H&S.
