I'd toally go for the boiled wool (or indeed other, darker colours). Unfortunately, with a small child in the house, anything stark white wouldn't stay that way for very long...

Boiled wool will be awesome, but please don't go with black. I love the design but I have so many dark pieces in my wardrobe I couldn't justify another......

Charcoal?
I'll see what I can get my hands on and report back with colour swatches.

Then we can all vote. Should be fun!

I'll be another one to add to the boiled wool. A charcoal(melange?) colorway sounds great.

I'm so happy with this boiled wool. It's got some give/stretch like my '00 boiled wool raf blazer! I wanted to master p grunt so loud when I saw this haha! We need to make it in this. I want one.

The white fabric is also a tighter boiled wool with some neoprene-like structure to it. But more expensive bc of quality control.

Both are from italian mills. I know for sure the marled charcoal is from Ethomas mill in Italy.

Are we ready?!
Price would be 185 usd plus shipping.

That's a great price. Can't wait to see the first sample with the fabric. Wishful thinking but perhaps some high rise tapered pants in the future with that fabric too? :tounge:

The bottom is truest colour. None of them were taken with flash but you can see how marled it is in all the pics.
White is so good man! It's gonna be slightly more expensive tho. But pm me!
I was hoping to get some orders in and just put them into production since Itll look the same as the wool and cotton version. Maybe I won't be able to have the French seams.
Maybe too naive to ask for money sight unseen?

The boiled wool fabric is awesome, and I'm going to ponder the SnowSmock. What would be an instakop, however, would be SnowPants in boiled wool. Any chance of that happening?

id have to coordinate that with peir as that was a collaborative effort.

the snowsmock is a project of my own.

then, if this is successful id like to do a button up shirt with a removable chest pocket. Itll use three buttons from the placket plus an extra button near the shoulder to fasten.
top is a hidden placket and bottom is the removable chest pocket shirt im working on. ...but first the snowsmock!!
