My thought is that you could stop bumping and wait until you have these in hand. Then you can read the inner label to determine which cut they are and you can judge for yourself whether the weight of the fabric is suitable for year round wear in Texas. You are uniquely qualified to answer these questions for yourself.


Just to clarify, I only bumped this one time since I saw other people bumping posts. Sorry to upset you.

Heavy-weight Bill's will obviously be...heavy. I don't really like the cut either. Dockers are crap. Try the Brooks Brothers Milano lightweight Advantage, as previously suggested, or the regular weight ones for fall wear. If you click on Steve Smith's signature, he may have some deals on these: http://www.styleforum.net/t/312626/...dison-many-new-added-8-25-best-selection-ever OTOH, you already pissed him off. :D

wouldnt switch to wool trousers unless you plan on getting some oxford cloth button down collar shirts and some sport coats. Wool trousers and a dress shirt screams cell phone salesman to me.


I've always felt that OCBDs weren't dressy enough for wool trousers.

Would a pair of 77% cotton and 23% linen trousers work with a unlined sportcoat in washed cotton? Not only would it work, would it look good? In terms of texture and so forth.

Pictures of said texture might be helpful. In a vacuum, what you propose sounds fine, but it would depend on the particular items.

There are far too many factors to consider without seeing how it is being put together...

Should I pick these "Wurkin Stiffs" collar stays for the perfect roll or do MC'ers have a better suggestion? Price is not really an issue but I do not need something like sterling silver etc. Just something that will work and give the ideal collar roll.


bump

Just wondering if the collar will stand too erect or have a nice roll with the stays.
Any other recommendations for collar stays from 'X Y Z'?
