Hmmm... the two at right look interesting. I like that blue/green mix quite a bit. Is the rightmost one essentially yellow? Looks as if it is a mix that sums up that way.

The photo is a little bit brighter than IRL (across all colors). That rightmost one is ocra/grigio mix. The yellow has a more mustardy tone than shown on screen

What mix is this, Greg, Bruno/Castagno? I can't tell, but I like it!


Oh, and Aran knits with zippers are an abomination

Actually, I believe that this is not a mix. The yarn takes a nice dimension when knitted and the variations in color are due to that and the way it catches the light. Palissandro is what the tag says, which I think is an old 90/10 color. I will investigate whether this is available for order.

Not sure if it was 100% clear but the aran cardigan for these MTO orders is only available in the 90/10 plain colors (that color card), not the 6 special mixes.

That brown cardigan looks great. Definitely put me down for this one in a size small. Thanks, Greg!
If we can get that same color, will do. Otherwise we'll need to find one you like on the card.

Greg, sorry if you've mentioned this above, but any chance you'll have IM sweaters in both S and M at the Trunk show to use as a sizing reference for MTO?

While it is clearly not logistically feasible to take pictures of all 150 cards for Rota MTO, I got a few requests for checks so here are a few :

Fwock, those Rota pents are super awesome, but oh so impractical. Decisions, decisions.

I would have one with you, but my work bottle is currently the Ardbeg 10.

That bag looks great, pB.

My experience with pants like those Rota ones is that they're pretty tough if you try to wear them with a jacket but if you're wearing them as a kind of more interesting business or social casual with a OCBD and/or sweater they can be much more interesting than the standard khaki.
