At that price, I’d be stunned if it wasn’t Angelico. And, at that weight, but especially at that weight being linen, I think you’d be insane to buy.

That thing is going to be a catastrophe within 5 minutes of wearing
I think they would list the mill if it were Angelico- they're not ashamed of Angelico. This is probably a Chinese mill. Also... listed fabric weight strikes again!

What's a good fabric weight for linen suit?

Ya know, I never used to buy that it took any sort of secret sauce to be a model, because you're just a human mannequin, right? These Spier pics have proven me so wrong.

Are you saying that there's more to life than being really, really, really ridiculously good looking?

I just can't enough they're going more economical than Angelico. But, either way, that weight with linen would be a nonstarter for me, no matter where the cloth is coming from

You probably want around 380g or so. Still will wrinkle, no matter what, but not quite into the tissue paper lighter weights would do.
Something heavy at 400 gr+
But it is better to go for separates - heavy linen trousers and lighter jacket
Don't agree here. Not a fan of wearing plain (as in, non-blends) linens as separates. Not enough visual variance in the cloth to avoid it looking like a mismatched suit.
