Best Fabric for Bespoke Trousers?

[ispeakbespokeitaly]

Hi all,

I am planning on getting some bespoke trousers made at a tailor in my area (NYC). I want them to be somewhat versatile, so that they could be worn with a sport coat/blazer or just a dress shirt, and work in most seasons (i.e., would rather have it be warmer than cooler, as nothing can stop the July/August heat).

Would cavalry twill work? A heavier wool? I'm a bit new to the menswear scene so any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Crispaire is a very good option. Not too heavy, 3 season. Crispaire is also resistent. We work a lot with this also to make a whole suit.

Holland and Sherry Crispaire, without a doubt. Can easily wear them year-round in NYC (I wear mine year round in Detroit). They travel exceptionally well too. I have the grey, navy, brown, and olive, all by Ambrosi bespoke - couldn't be happier with them.

Edit* Detroit is far colder than NYC. I wear them in January, albeit they may not be my first pick.

Does Ambrosi have these and other English books, or did you order separately for CMT?

Bedford cord doesn’t come in too many colors, but handles very well. Cavalry twill wears cooler than its weight. Whipcord also works, in rustic or gabardine-ish qualities. The Holland and Sherry Dakota book has a lot of these in medium weight.
