I have this one. I use them as separate's for the most part, and have not sent them off to get steamed.

I know you have a tuxedo, lets see it!

I was away in Napoli. Here you go Lord Superb ....

Any recommendation for a solaro wool in herringbone weave? Other than the regular smith woolens one. Thanks!

Sounds like Ed Sheehan Thinking Out Loud. Play something from The Time on your next video.

Oh yeah, and some more sport coats.

The Loro Piana Summer Tasmanian book has many colorways in solaro weaves.

A few years ago the Moorbrook mill closed, which specialized in jacketings and coatings from rarer cloths; cashmere but more importantly vicuña and guanaco. They now exist in name alone, like so many of my favorite mills. However, when they were closing out I snagged a bolt of natural guanaco cloth. It's one of the two wild camelids that live in the Andes, the other being vicuña. To my knowledge, nobody since Moorbrook has made a cloth in it, with the exception of Dormeuil, who made a blend called guanashina that apparently costs 25k for a suit. The recent versions now don't contain any due to rarity, ironically. Anyway, I have no use for the remaining 12meters in the bolt, and so want to get rid of it to anyone interested, for cost price. Send me a PM if you're interested, even just for more details. Oh, and please excuse my photography.

Fabric Fiends, Cloth Chaps, and all you Textile Types:

I'm looking for a needle in a haystack.

I have this Martin Greenfield BBGF seersucker jacket in cream and navy and want to have some pants made to match the jacket.

I've looked at several on-line fabric stores and several m2m companies but haven't found anything remotely close.

I know it's a long shot but I thought I'd ask.

I asked Chris to send me some swatches for my upcoming "navy" sportcoat. I have since learned my lesson - pore through cloth when you are at your tailor so that you have an idea of what you may want to commission at a later date.

Also, for those in the wings, I have decided to pass on the W. Bill Phoenix. Opting for something that is more "Louisiana three-season."

Which season are you skipping? I thought Phoenix would be good for fall-winter-spring in Louisiana.

I am skipping our so-called winter. Texturally speaking, Phoenix - which I anticipate is similar in texture to my Rust jacket - is really only useful in the winter season. The temperature here ranges from the high 80s to high 90s from March through November.

style advice requested: I'm thinking about commissioning a navy blazer of the ivy-trad-gold-brass-button variety and was wondering if I should get it made up in a hopsack cloth or something like flannel or a doeskin fabric. Is one of these more 'appropriate' with the whole brass-button get up (for instance, are there any seasonal connotations with this type of blazer), or is it just 6 of one, half a dozen of the other, etc...

thanks!
