Yeah that would be a custom run @~ B ~ will have made up by W Bill. Check out the link here.here Personally I wouldn't want it much brighter than that, but I'm also having it made up as a suit.
I'm curious how it will turn out. Any pictures of something comparable? Something like this, or lighter?

Honestly, you'd have to ask @~ B ~ since he is the one who has seen it in person. To my eye, on a computer screen, it looks close. The run might be a touch lighter, but again, it's tough to tell. The picture in the link I posted is in direct sun light, so it should look a bit lighter than your picture, which is why I think it's fairly close.

I'm more interested in this than ever, having now looked for this kind of linen for a bit and having found nothing. Any updates?

Yeah, I've been making furniture for my wife who's now in full nesting mode.

I need to start a thread. But honestly, if we get the Formosa/NMWA crew interested I think Greg will fill out commitments.

I'll work on a thread when we get power back.

I am in as well for a suit length.

Yes, if we get enough pre-orders, I'm happy to order extra for the rack

I am willing to order the cloth now, but I do not want to have it made up yet (and probably won't for a year or two) as I just have too many other projects underway now.

I am in for the cloth more than for the full suit at this point.

If that means I have to have it made up by Formosa at some point i'm fine with that.

Looks like we've got three suit orders so far between me, @DLJr and @PCK1

@unbelragazzo is the caccioppoli solaro in this thread the same one made up currently by NMWA? Looks like the one in here is wool though, not cotton right?
