Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

bertie · Jul 22, 2013

I was asked to post a photo of a Huddersfield cloth I orderded (ice blue POW check mohair - MSP9215). This is the best I can do with my bberry. I was afraid the weave would be quite loose based on the one close-up they provided but it is nicer/tighter than I expected. Colour is also darker - more mid-blue/grey veering to air force blue tones - than I expected. It is, however, fairly translucent. This will likely make it a good hot weather suit and I hope the mohair component will slow wrinkles.

It will remain unfunded until at least next spring as I will not be able to have it made up in time for my ridiculously short summer.

Strikes me as a brighter, more 'electric', version of the LL Piuma PoW

That is actually quite nice. I could even see it work as a jacket.

It was me, thank you.

Did you get your LL Piuma POW yet?

What about a full on suit? Too much?

Grammaton Cleric · Jul 22, 2013

^ I did, and it's very nice.

How did your Delfino order turn out? Any plans for future orders?

badsha · Jul 22, 2013

Do you mind posting photos of the LL Piuma POW? I have not seen it yet. Delfino order went well. Most of the cut lengths went out already. I am working on something, hope it pans out.

Sure - will throw something up later this evening.

Saw some stunning Del Fino fabrics at Frank Ercole's Manhattan store today. Would love to order some if you can get continued access!

Looks nice. I bet it makes up into a nice suit

What do guys think of these Cotton/Linen Carlo Barbera?

Grammaton Cleric · Jul 22, 2013

The blue and the gray in the first pic look excellent. The others are a bit too Miami Vice for me.

Very nice, I'd appreciate that! Waiting for such a fabric is pure torture, especially when the waiting time will be one month and the payment HAS been made

Here you go my LL Etna was just delivered with the Mistral and Piuma. The Etna is amazing pure luxury the double sided finished is unique. I think I am going to make this one up quarter lined.

Some new unfunded liabilities for me. The seersucker is the Zegna I got from Edmorel while the rest are Lessers. My favourite is the blue Golden Bale

Next up will be the 1st special edition H.Lesser Tropical; just got the samples and they are great.

What special edition?

Looks extraordinary, thank you so much! Can't wait to pick up my own length...

Cheers,
