I'm interested and favor the first gray.

As an LA resident, I think people are spot-on about the weight. I think it's fine for Fall -- at least aside from the stretches we get of 85 degree "Fall" weather. Today, for example, it would be fine. I walked about 1/2 mile to lunch today. Had I been wearing this suit with the jacket, it probably would have been a bit too warm -- so I would have taken my jacket off and carried it. By next week, it could be 15 degrees cooler (or five or ten warmer, of course). But you'd get plenty of Fall/Winter use out of it, I'm sure.

@lawyerdad Cool. Thanks for the advise.

Well the real answer is I can't tell you for sure since people vary a lot in how hot or cool they run. If you're used to the standard 3-season suits that most stores carry, this will be heavier than that. But I think for most ppl, as vvvbj said, wearing this in 50-70 degree weather with no overcoat would not be a problem.

I have the Formosa 12/13 oz Minnis Dark Navy suit that I like alot. I think I can manage on this one.

Everybody has to choose the same cloth and style, yes (with the option of adding a vest). I am happy to give my advice on different options, but whatever you guys decide on, we can do.

should we move this to the formosa MTO thread:

http://www.styleforum.net/t/403760/...s-get-another-one-rolling/250_50#post_7501807

so we don't clog up this one?

For styling, I would say no spalla camicia, flap pockets, barchetta, 3r2...notch lapel is the obvious choice, but peak lapel is great looking on this kind of cloth IMHO. Very Anthony Eden:

Get some wine/dark dark red lining in there and we're set.

The navy Minnis wide is where its at.

I say we do undyed wool with stripes and everyone can garment-dye navy or grey at home. A little DIY can't hurt

If the price is 100 bucks or less, Im in.

@in stitches are you in on this one?

@unbelragazzo said the hand was nicer on the fox, plus the fox is 'rarer' in a sense, almost never get a good discount on the Fox fabrics, normally too expensive.

Fox navy wide. 3r2, notch lapels, flap hip pockets, barchetta chest pocket, spalla cadente morbida shoulder. Thoughts on buttons? I agree with unbel's suggestion for the vest: no lapel, two pockets. Can we get some info about the vest measurements? My concern is about the chest and back fitting well.

I'm in with this. Dark horn buttons (formal)

Greg (@gdl203) and/or Kyle (@conceptual 4est): Is there any more Niche items expected to drop this season? The Trabajo shirt is great and searching Japanese stockists for FW14 gear (while hoping NMWA would pick up a similar amount of items like SS14) there is so much win in that line for the more adventurous types or the more conservative. For instance, the Gaucho Easy pants (http://www.strato.co.jp/SHOP/Niche-tti-f14-jps-49.html), the Permanente Crew Neck Jacket (http://www.strato.co.jp/SHOP/Niche_tti-f14-jju-67.html), the Peluche Comodo L/S T-Shirts (http://www.strato.co.jp/SHOP/Niche_tti-f14-jcf-24.html) for starters.

Something tells me this might be all, but I am holding out hope that I'll be able to purchase the above or similar items from you! Take my money, Greg NMWA introduced me to this line and I think its outstanding and so well priced for what you get and you're a man that makes things happen. Please make more Niche happen!

Unfortunately, that's it for this season. We had a couple more things picked up and that we were really excited about - but they were cancelled at the lastinute because of production issues.

I'm in for the foxes...don't really have a preference as to wide or narrow or navy or grey. will use them all. i think the narrow could be really fun...

I'm definitely ok with:
3-roll-2
spalla cadente morbida
notch or peak lapel
barchetta chest pocket
vest with no lapel and two pockets

i would really like to see the jacket made with besom (jetted) pockets as opposed to flap pockets. I'm a firm believer that this style of pocket is more elegant and more appropriate on a jacket of this manner. it's not a deal breaker for me...but you all should strongly consider the besom pocket...it is super elegant and worn by the likes of prince charles and sr. liverano.

this suit will be AWESOME.
