frank - buy it now and thank me later. its one of my favorite piece i own. :)


Maybe... and then go full #mensfashun with layers of shirt, Inis Meain sweater, noragi, Oliver Spencer, and Valve. Then stand around on the corner looking cool.

BTW and non seq. also pleased to have the Irish knit coming since I've just picked up Flan O'Brien's At Swim-Two-Birds to read again. Should go well together.

i was looking forward to wearing mine with the niche paisley print shirt, but now i feel like it so minimal compared to your proposed layer explosion. : (

Can't wait for my magenta (I think) sweater!
That valve jacket sits on my wishlist. It looks so good, but I'm kind of jacketed up at the time. Not that this stops me for very long. Maybe @Newcomer will buy my size... :butbut:


I have been eyeing the Valve for a while. It is such a cool piece. I have certainly thought about it... Also thought about giving Big John a try. My next purchase(s) will likely be something a bit off-the-cuff.

I am a size 6, so I may be one bigger that you...

frank - buy it now and thank me later. its one of my favorite piece i own. :)


Shhh.

If you could see and touch the fabric, you'd see that it is a very soft, wooly cloth. Even though the color pattern may have a summer vibe, the cloth is heavier and warmer than that. I am agnostic to the lining choice - I like quarter-lined fall/winter jackets too after all - but if the summery vibeis what drives your comment about lining choice, I think you'd have a different opinion if you could feel it.


Thanks, Greg. Living in tropical Asia my main concern is wearability albeit mostly in airconned indoors. Weird, I know. Insofar my preference would be as light weight, airy and little toasty as possible. Fully understand that the other gents might well have the exact 180° reverse view and needs. Maybe we can have a quick poll once it's final, single majority wins. :)

That Drapers is awesome and for me was a close second to the Delfino. The check patterns may have split votes just as the blues did . . .
