    I was surprised by the pic with the quarter mike posted on the clay swatch. That fabric looks more subdued than in the scanned version. Still a bold pattern, obviously, but not as bright overall as I thought. Tough choices this round.

    Interesting. I had thought the chessboard would be darker than the birdseye, but they seem to be pretty similar in value from your pics. And the pattern note is interesting as well. They're a similar scale, but I can see how the greater contrast in pattern on the chessboard would call itself out...

    Picked up the herringbone grey Walts a few months ago and love them. How do the chessboard tweeds compare to the charcoal Birdseye?

    Any chance anyone has ordered the mint-rust windowpane MTO jacket? Would love to see some pics. Also considering at the olive micro check.

    Been trying to catch up on the thread - I'm gathering that both SF and Madison got the PTB's in. Can anyone clarify the edge trim color? Dark or light? I have ravello LWB and an unlined color 8 PTB. Assuming my size exists, I might have to jump.

     I'm wearing mine today. I've worn it a few dozen times and its holding up just fine. Haven't washed it yet - I'm pretty sure it's dry clean only. (I'm sure mike or Matt will chime in to confirm that). I also have the hopsack, which feels a bit more formal, given that its darker and a finer...

     More violet actually. I was in the other day and had thought that fabric was off my list until I saw it in person. It's certainly muted, but the violet is more pronounced overall than the brown and more than in the image, I think. It's pretty great.

     I wear a 7.5E in most Barrie shoes, but 8D feels much better in the unlined ptb. I have a 7.5E in the unlined ptb and they're definitely snug, whereas my longwings and boots in the same size are fine.
