The other day on my lunchbreak I was browsing around in Keezers (a Cambridge menswear secondhand shop) and came across a Corneliani blazer. I first noticed the high gorge, then felt its silky, summer-weight drape, did a pinch test for canvassing (check) and gave it a cursory fit test. I purchased it and hurried back to work, figuring if it didnt work out, a navy Corneliani blazer would be easy to flip to another SF member.
Only now am I examining it closer and, in addition to being a half inch to big in the shoulders, I see that on the pocket tag, where it should say "virgin wool" or "cashmere" or whatever it says Rayon. WTF?! Why would Corneliani make a canvassed blazer out of rayon??
