Looks nice, I’d definitely look to get a couple when the white becomes available.

What kind of shrinkage should we expect, if any?

Same as every fabric supplier states I guess, 1-3% or so.

Make sure to wash right and buy the right size, and you'll be good.

I have said it here before, but I will again:
If you feel that shrinkage makes a big difference, you are buying the wrong size.

Do you guys prefer the british or the italian flannel concerning trousers?

I prefer the British flannel trousers, as they keep a sharper crease.

@kevinsvindland is the navy winter hopsack truly a winter fabric, or a year-round jacket in scandinavia?

Too warm from mid-may through august in scandinavia I would say..

Gotta love them Fox Brothers checks..

And a hand made jacket construction on par with things that cost two and even three times the price. (Yes, I am looking at you Napolitans)

Has anyone purchased the green covert mod 3 trousers? They look pretty grey/not green in the site photos, and was wondering of they're greener in person.

Nope, we cleanes them up, to emphasise the insane seams.

Besides, shirred seams are more of a Napoli thing, along with the chest bar-tack.
In the move to India, we wanted to highlight precision rather than sprezzatura.

Shirred sleeve heads, cuffs and back are not about Italian flamboyancy but a simple matter of comfort. There's nothing more discomforting in the shirt than the pleated cuffs. When you bend your hand, part of the sleeve that are not pleated start to pull cuff, while area with pleats sags as there's more fabric there. One can clearly see it on this image

Off the top of my head I can think of a few more discomforting things than just that..

Hello Kevin,
Where do the fabrics for your "entry-level" (if I may say so) and "Premium" shirts like this one or this one come from?
Thank you!
