Okay - so another question for you. I’m thinking about having a black (yes, black) DB jacket made for the summer. Something I can wear quite casually. A jacket I don’t have to be so precious about and that I can wear for both summer evening drinks and throw on when I go out to get my morning coffee.
I was thinking of pure linen (but who makes the best black linen), or peached linen, or a silk, wool, linen mix. But any suggestion would be very welcome. Thank you.
I’ve never used mohair for odd trousers, just suits.Y'all have preferred mohairs for odd trousers? Weight is prioritized, for whatever it's worth.
It does indeed seem "wrong" for trousers, but I love the feel/enhanced resistance to wrinkling, even relative to high twists.I’ve never used mohair for odd trousers, just suits.
I like Dugdale’s; thought H&S was too flimsy (though it may have changed); and Loro Piana had a fantastic book of mohair/New Zealand wool blend whose name escapes me.
I think 10 oz. is a good weight, give or take an ounce.
Did you ever try the Minnis mohair/Fresco? I seem to remember you asking about that cloth.It does indeed seem "wrong" for trousers, but I love the feel/enhanced resistance to wrinkling, even relative to high twists.
Mohair fresco or the 2/3 ply stuff from Halstead. Reason I like these 2 is the rugged look from the weave the the two tone effect which lends itself to more "casual" formalness. I find the other mohairs too refined for odd trousers.Y'all have preferred mohairs for odd trousers? Weight is prioritized, for whatever it's worth.
