End on end linens, some lightweight open knits. Also not sure if you plan on carrying pants or not in the future but that would be a huge plus.

Good suggestions - thanks guys

Shirting fabrics will likely stay within the Alumo, Grandi & Rubinelli, Albini/Thomas Mason family

I like the linen-cotton idea.

End-on-end is never wrong.

Some Bengal stripes in blue - white . (I believe your examples are butcher or maybe I'm just butchering the terminology but in any event slightly larger than the example shirts.)

I meant to suggest that fit is the most important thing (for me) in a shirt not that my incredible physique is the best of my myriad charming qualities.


Surely your quiet anf soft-spoken demeanor is your most charming quality.

Thanks for the kind words :blush:
Give or take... a short month. I've been thinking about sponsoring the "No Purchase Club - September edition"... :D
Unfortunately no shorts or long for the first group of suits. What is your typical jacket size / chest measurement? I can tell you the measurements and you can see if length may work for you.


Argh! Congratulations you've joined the ranks of Howard Yount and Epaulet of catering exclusively to the 5'8"-6'0" crowd. No hate, I wish you all the best. It's just frustrating to see so much cool stuff targeted just outside of my reach.

BTW, what is this (hope you don't mind me "borrowing" images from you're Tumblr)?:

700


and this:

1000


and this (though if I had to guess I'd say it was Buttero):

700

That's not completely fair - I'm 6'2" and 200 lbs myself and we carry stuff that is too large for me across the product range. But I understand the frustration - we're starting from scratch and the investment in inventory is heavy so it was hard to push the size runs too far either way, especially at this price point. We do have 56 size suits and sport coats. And if there's demand, we'll start carrying longs and shorts as early as next season.
