I had a suit made from the Fox Khaki book last year and I love it.
UNIFORM LA Japanese BDU Camo Cargo Pants Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Japanese BDU Camo Cargo Pants are now live. These cargos are based off vintage US Army BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) cargos. They're made of a premium 13.5-ounce Japanese twill that has been sulfur dyed for a vintage look. Every detail has been carried over from the inspiration and elevated. Available in two colorways, tundra and woodland. Please find them here
Good luck!.

I'd be curious to see any worn in photos if you have them!This is my logic regarding the unstructured version. You are basically paying several thousand dollars for a shirt at that point.
I have a bespoke cotton odd jacket and I do like it a lot and would definitely get another in the future or even a full suit.
Usually my tailor makes me spalla camicia shoulders but in the cotton jacket he (without my prompting) made it with a more structured normale con rollino and I think it looks great. I asked him about it and he said the structure gives the cotton more substance and helps it hold shape better over time. The canvas in the body though is still really light and its half lined as well so doesn't sacrifice on the lightness in the end.

Yes, totally agree. No reason to spend good money on a cotton suit. I don’t like the aesthetic either though. You’ll never find me in a corduroy suit either. Flannels (woolen or worsteds), heavyweight worsteds (400g+) and frescos (including 4ply and fox air) for me. Oh and maybe a wool linen blend or a linen.Why not linen? Not that I'd say do either (especially if going bespoke), but I'd do linen in a heartbeat over cotton.
You're not alone. A (very) cheap cotton suit would be serviceable, but I have no interest in putting any decent chunk of change toward a cotton suit. Even a blend would dissuade me.

A debate that pops-up every now and then, the one of the cotton suit.

You want brisbane moss Tennyson. It's the ideal handle but nothing for summer, it's just too heavy.I've been mulling a cotton suit for Fall and Spring -- unstructured and no canvas. This mossy LP cloth might be ideal. How silky is the hand? Ideally, I think I'd like something a bit drier and more utilitarian-looking.
You look great!My Neapolitan bespoke cotton suit from Iorio is one of my favourites. Circa 260g tan cotton twill. It wrinkles a lot but feels featherweight and the handmade details shine in this cloth. Rustic beauty I guess.
