Yes - if you choose not to fund, let me know.
will do. i'm on the fence right now. i love the cloth but, although i have around 12 bespoke jackets, i only have 1 bespoke suit (navy minnis air force blue flannel) and need to do at least a couple more practical and versatile suits before this, so it's a long-term unfunded liability!
I was serious but I would hang on if I was you - that is unique stuff.
If the fabric is heavier, unlined/unstructured probably won't make much of a difference. If it is lighter - could work as you suggest. Most of my tweeds are P&H Hartwist and at 560g the lining does not add much to the structure.
It's 10 oz worsted jacketing. When I think of unstructured, I imagine something like a Canali Kei jacket, but I have no real experience with ordering that bespoke.

I am contemplating getting two suits for the summer, one linen, one cotton. Linen is basically set, mid-blue 9/10oz, I think from Drapers. The cotton one I am unsure about. My original plan was something in khaki but I am concerned about getting the color right (a bad tan cotton suit can look horrible) and about how it will wear over time. Thoughts? Suggestions on books for the cotton suit?
Does anyone have experience with the Twister collection from Hunt & Winterbotham?
