    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I think the 510222 looks fairly close to that Proper Cloth fabric in terms of shade. I took a quick picture earlier, but unfortunately the natural light had gone (please excuse the jacket that it shares a hanger with). I should have probably taken a photo next to a white shirt as it's quite...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Does anyone have ideas or recommendations for a cream lightweight high-twist for trousers. I already have a pair in the Fresco 510222, which is a great pale stone, and fills the gap quite well, but I'm definitely after a true cream/antique ivory - the sort of shades that you often find in linen...

    3r2, patch hip pockets, soft shoulder, no norfolk details etc. This is the issue I'm having. When thinking of trouser pairings they would all work well with 80% of my winter trousers (mid-grey flannel, dark grey flannel, blue denim, burgundy cords). I think the difference comes in that the...

    Thanks. I think I was leaning towards the Moon but what was holding me back was the ground shade feeling a bit too yellowish, although I do understand that's part of the charm. There's a middle ground option of the Moon but just in the beige/brown:

    I've narrowed down to two cloths for a tweedy SC, but am having a difficult time picking one. They both beat out all similar options in their respective styles, but since they're quite different, I'm struggling with them head to head. Both have been used in RTW collections a fair amount, so have...

    Thanks for this. I actually have the dark navy Mock Leno has a sport coat (510244). Am I right in understanding that you have the Mock Leno made up as full suits? I can't imagine the fabric working as trousers, as it's so loose/open? It's difficult to compare as the texture is so different, but...

    I'm getting a Fresco Lite suit MTM. For the very hottest days where Linen isn't appropriate. It's going to be a Navy suit, 3r2, natural shoulder, jetted pockets, also used for things like summer weddings in incredibly warm climates etc. I'm torn between the 510219 and 510220 shades - does...

    Thanks! Part of me is tempted to just go for the Fresco Lite (510219, I think it is) purely for comfort as this would be for summer weddings etc, but I can't help but feel the Wool/Mohair would just look a bit sharper. Do you find you get any Mohair sheen from it at all?

    Does anyone have any experience with the 70 Wool/30 Mohair Minnis Fresco? Does it offer further crease-resistance than the regular Fresco of the same weight?

    Do you have the reference of the Navy one? Looks like a lovely shade.

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I'm having trouble deciding between two cloths for a Dark Blue Spring/Summer Jacket. I was about to pull the trigger on this Marling & Evans Wool/Linen (the picture is of a jacket that NMWA made up in the same cloth): I have however received a swatch of another M&E cloth, which is the same...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Very helpful. I think I'll go with the lighter cloth as I am trying to break out and explore the 'northern lights' combos, and this feels like a relatively accessible shade to do it with. I have a Dark Grey fresco-esque pair of trousers (Dugdale TropicalAir) that looks lovely next to the swatch...

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    I'm looking for a lighter brown transitional SC now that I have Navy and Dark Brown covered. I've decided to keep it relatively plain. I've narrowed down to two, a lighter brown (verging on dark oatmeal) undyed with interesting natural variation in the yarns, or a very slubby slightly darker...

    Ok, thanks! Think I'll stick to a more conventional Glen Check.

    Thanks. I'm after a bit of a softer handle than I tend to find with Shetland. I wonder if part of the designer look is the way it's been made up and displayed (gorge height, throat latch, shirt/accessories).

    Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

    Came across a swatch whilst looking for a transitional earth-tone jacket cloth. It's definitely not at all what I set out looking for or had in mind. 300g, 90% Wool/10% Cashmere, ideally for early spring and fall, and also when the London summer decides it doesn't want to play nicely. Only...

    The Made-to-Measure Thread

    Just received my latest MTM suit. Really happy with this one. Excuse the creases, it came delivered in a box and my home-pressing was a bit poorly done, especially on the back. I'll shorten the cuffs 1cm or so before i have them finished, and also lengthen the trousers by similar. At first I...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Got it, thanks! So if I understand correctly, the takeaway advice is square the left shoulder (have confirmed they raise the shoulder rather lower the neck) and take in the back on the left side from the shoulder to the waist. Then if more waist shape is desired, take in the seam where the front...

    The Tailors' Thread: Fit Feedback and Alteration Suggestions

    Thanks. I'm ok with the prominent bump. The shoulder is completely unpadded and the bone protrudes there. I like the unpadded/structured feel so realise that's something I'll have to deal with. I always assumed the bump was there because that is the literal shape of my shoulder. I'm struggling...
