Baby Cashmere

[Mecnun]

I am thinking of ordering a navy baby-cashmere blazer which my bespoke tailer has shown me. Amazing material and amazing color. Should I get vented side pockets with ticket pocket (recommended by my tailor) or patch pockets throughout? My tailor says that the fabric is to soft patch-pockets, but I feel that the patch-pockets will be more in-formal and sporty and less like the "jacket of a suit". I've attached a picture of jacket with same material and slanted pockets.

Can someone please help me out here

I've seen several jackets made of Loro Piana baby cashmere that looked terrible after about 5 wearings. So, go with the patches, because it may look worn and casual sooner than you'd like.

Precisely why I wouldn't pay a cent for that stuff. In fact, you'd have to pay me to take it.
