I'm likely in for the perfect summer gun check unless I find a more perfect one during the next Formosa visit.

I have all the navy hopsack I'll ever need.

I think chalkstripe might look better on flannel than on a tropical worsted like the rangoon

@gdl203 would be able to help you better. Let us know if you are interested, so we can rally up support again and see if we can get to the required
@venividivicibj I'm still on the fence on it since I really need more Gray suits in the closet. As a matter of fact, I just kopped the SF Gray Sharkskin last night since I needed it. You can put me on the MAYBE list as of now.

Is there an option to request a suit?


Yea you can definitely MTO a suit. Many of the fabrics we are considering for SCs would not really be good for trousers, but if it's a fabric that can hold up as a whole suit, you can have pants made up too. For an additional charge, obviously.
