    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    1kg LL Cashmere is a blazer fabric, not a coating fabric of course. On a related note, what are good jacketing bunches for a three-ish season jacket? I think I might move away from green tweed towards something like 350 to 400 ish grams jacketing, so like 13/14 ish oz?

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    In line with this discussion, have people here seriously worn out their jackets to a practically unusable extend? Looking at some of my older clothes I can hardly imagine burning through clothes that are not trousers or socks in a shorter period than say, 10 years or so. Especially if I look at...

    Un-official Luca Avitabile Napoli Shirt Thread

    Oh, is that one of his more expensive fabrics? I was browsing online through Thomas Mason's books and I think I would probably just start out with some sort of poplin or twill shirt and 1 or 2 button downs in an oxford. My current favorite shirt is a Turnbull & Asser one in some sort of heavier...

    Saint Crispins sizing works very well for me

    I scheduled a video meeting for tomorrow to place what would be my first order. Will reconsider given said backlog I think.

    The Bespoke Shoes Thread

    I'm currently in the market for new (dark) brown apron stitched derbies. I'm considering the usual suspects of what I believe to be high end RTW (Edward Green, Saint Crispins, Meccariello) but I'm also debating if it's worth to go to someone like Calzoleria Carlino or perhaps explore Chinese...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Do people have suggestions for good green tweeds? Currently looking at Huddersfields' Alsport / Lovat (Kirkton) and Porter & Harding books, but I'm open to any suggestions. My current favorite pick is Lovat Kirkton 503: I like the darker shade but I'm open to anything that has a slightly...

    Might the substantial handfeel be a good thing for spring?

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Many thanks for explaining! I read your post discussing fabric quality, would you care to offer your opinion on (shetland) tweeds?

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Gotcha, thank you for your swift reply! I can't find a lot of their stuff on Dugdale's website though. Am I to understand that you'd ask M&E or Dugdales about a specific fabric that you would have seen somewhere else?

    SPIER & MACKAY - Official Affiliate Thread

    Sorry to only jump on this message now, but could you elaborate on Marling & Evans discontinuing their cut length business? I just commissioned something in a 370 GSM undyed (I think shetland?) tweed of theirs, and wanted to find out more about its quality and how it compares to other mills. I...

    HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

    DB MTM suit from Maximilian Mogg. Curious to see how it's received here, I feel like the back of the trousers could have been taken in a slight bit more.

    the profoundly unofficial I Sarti Italiani thread

    Oh I was aware of the other shop, but not of the wines. I'll keep that in mind as a future option. I'll discuss having more fittings, I assume that's the default anyways. I have no problem coming in more often but I'd hope to arrange it in conjunction with fittings for the shoes. Alternatively...

    the profoundly unofficial I Sarti Italiani thread

    Thank you for the prompt reply! I'm aware of the troubles associated with traveling in Italy in August and hoping to find open shops. I had email contact with them for an appointment in early August and that seems to be fine. I was not planning on already being fitted during the same trip...
