Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

[Concordia]

Where are you that it is 66 degrees and what are the rules for emigrating there????

Boston area. It's been a weird spring and summer.

This one is about to be funded.

Thanks

bottom one looks like abraham moon, so if it all one book, i'd guess the abraham moon book

Hey guys,

I try to keep a list of all the suggested cloths in this thread so when the time comes for my next commission, I can refer to it. But it seems I never made a note of gray, worsted suitings and that is what I am planning to get made up next. I've spent the past two hours searching and haven't come up with any decent hits.

So, for the umpteenth time, I need to ask again: what are some solid recommendations for mid-gray, worsted suitings in the 10-12 oz. range? My preference is something from HoE (e.g. Harrison, H. Lesser, Smith).

Thanks!

Since you've already identified collections and weights are you looking for particular swatch numbers?

H&S Sherry Tweed perhaps? I'm FAR from an expert, but I can't recall any other books with that pink cloth.

@dan'l - @edmorel had a nice selection of mid grey cloths for sale on B&S - maybe check those out.

What's happened to this thread? All we seem to be talking about is cloth. Where are the amateurish daily menswear instructional videos and threats of castration?

Did the order for DWWs (@dieworkwear) summer tweed already end? Emailed him and haven't heard back.

Thanks

Hm, did you send it to the right email address? I'll PM you in a second, but I'm pretty sure I've answered every email except the ones that were sent this morning (was going to answer those tonight).

The order window closes July 31st.

How do these Carlo Barbera fabrics (S'150 250g/290g respectively) compare with the usual suspects (Smiths, Lesser, etc,)?

They're S150s, to start

Not sure but if you're looking for light weight summery fabrics check out Lovat Mills The Bard collection. I believe it's in the same vein as the London Lounge piuma and brisa.
