(ROUND 2) NO MAN X FORMOSA GROUP MTO SPORT COAT [WHICH WOULD YOU GET?]

gdl203 · May 20, 2014

ROUND TWO - Let's decide the real winners !

Sport coat GMTO project - VOTE FOR THE ONES YOU WOULD ACTUALLY BE INTERESTED IN ORDERING (you can vote for more than one)

Here are a few ideas taken from bunches we have here. I think that we could do two parallel projects actually for those who would prefer a heavier/tweed cloth and for those looking for a lighter one.

Simple hopsack less-than-navy blue

Lightweight wool/silk/linen check

Copper brown herringbone mid-weight tweed

Navy/rust windowpane

Marled navy herringbone flannel

Mid-weight worsted check tweed (blue ground)

Blue herringbone tweed with rust pane

Blue herringbone mid-weight tweed

Lighter weight navy/brown/burgundy check (similar colors to my Woodhouse jacket, different check scale)

Very soft brown, blue & grey mid weight wool/cashmere check with rust overcheck

Large scale brown glenplaid tweed with navy overcheck

Looks like we've got 4 cloths in the lead here

Greg, the Lighter weight navy/brown/burgundy check (similar colors to my Woodhouse jacket, different check scale) is it as lighter colored as the jacket photo? The fabric shot seems very dark.

Definitely darker - here's an easy comparison since I'm actually wearing this jacket today...

Thanks. I really dig yours but unfortunately the fabric is very different.

gdl203 · May 21, 2014

Colors are very similar, which is why I highlighted it. Not that common to see navy, maroon and brown checks on a blue ground. But the scale and weight are quite different

you guys have no vision who needs another blue blazer.............

I was thinking the same way. What more plain blue? How many blue suits/scs in the wardrobe already? If I can't wear anything else due to work environment I'd quit.

Some people still haven't found the perfect navy blazer. I'm not too surprised to see that is a popular choice. That said we will have a navy mohair/wool blazer and a navy tweed blazer in the fall assortment, so there will be plenty of options.

Formosa or Cantarelli?

Neither - we do not do Formosa sport coats yet. This SFers-driven experiment would be the first

Mohair mix is Camoshita and navy donegal herringbone is Eidos

That looks nice. What's the weight? Plan for any long sizes in that model?

gdl203 · May 21, 2014

Yes we'll have longs. Paging @NickPollica for help with cloth weight!
