Are they too scratchy to wear on their own without an undershirt?

depends on your tolerance for crunchiness, i found the linen only to be ok, but not something i was excited to reach for, while the linen/silk is great

They aren't scratchy at all. They have a texture to them, they aren't super soft, but they are entirely fine to wear without an undershirt.

This shows how we all have different preferences and tolerances... the primary feedback we got on the linen/silk mix was that it was scratchier than the washed linen

Need some advice regarding sizing with Castaner loafer/espadrilles

Most sneakers - 8.5
CP Achilles Low - EU 40. I sized down from EU 41 (what would be equivalent to a US 8) since CPs fit big.

Should I go with an EU 40 or 41 for the Castaner loafers? Price seems like a steal
Go with 41. I'm a half size down from you and the 40 fits me spot on.

Navan is essentially black under most lighting. I personally see it as a dark midnight but I've seen it called black elsewhere.

Maybe I'm crazy and the blue cast is in my head?

Finally wore these KS pants and glad I kept them after waffling. Pretty cool wearing in 80-90 degree heat.
