Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

[tchoy]

Second fitting with these Solbiiati linen.

There is any source of John Hardy/Minnis Lambswool range?

Manton said once this cloth is like cashmere with guts and this sounds good.

That bunch is discontinued.

Speaking of Solbiati linen ...

From what can be seen of your face, you look a hell of a lot like GGG.
It's a compliment, cos he's got a hell of a chin.
Great fit, by the way.

Sneaky good call. Speaking of, GGG might be my all time favorite interview.

Looks like they had to rotate the left sleeve to accomodate a forward pitch of your arm and it has affected the pattern matching. Are they going to re-cut the sleeve or are you ok with it?

 

[Concordia]

Forward fittings often have sleeves hanging a bit too low out of the armscye. That way, it is easier to fix any problems that have crept in. My guess is that the pattern matching between upper arm and chest will be fine at the final fitting.

Has anyone used the 18oz midnight barathea from HE Box? What's the color and handle like?

For the uninformed, whose GGG?

For what it's worth, the facial expression reminds me of PG/guapo wongolito or whatever he last went by.

Google 'GGG'?

Boxer. Very, very limited grasp of the English language, but extremely passionate and exudes positivity in his interviews. Met him at Dodger stadium once. Really kind fella.

OK folks, just scheduled my first MTM appointment (meeting up with Aaron at Kent Wang's NYC store in a month or so). Project is a plain old navy suit. I live in Houston, meaning lighter weight is a must.

Fresco is an obvious choice. My only concern is whether it's courtroom appropriate -- thoughts? This would also be my main navy suit, my only other plain navy is a suitsupply number that is... fine, but not outstanding.

Should I wait on fresco for the time being and go with a lighter weight smooth worsted? If so, any suggestions for workhorse light-to-midweight navy?
