Putting silk facings on the tuxedo doesnt cost any more
False.
UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

I think he meant an SR DJ will cost the same regardless if the lapels of the wc are self- or silk-faced

I understand Despos had a different approach there. I don't know how my tailor handles it, but I will apparently still be able to choose all the facings at the first fitting.
Your point being? I did not choose a Lesser cloth, did I? Apart from that, I am very happy with my business suits from Lesser's range.
I should have put the quote in. I was replying to your question a while back about experience with the heavier lesser cloth. Smiths is just as bad. There's no need to be upset if you ask peoples opinions you will get some people disagreeing with you. I am sorry but I really don't like Smiths and Lesser. I have had things made in them because of the price and because of there lauded durability but in all honesty I find they wear out faster than the luxury cloths like Dormeuil, Scabal and Loro Piana. They didn't wear through but they picked up bad shines at which point I got rid.
I've got nothing in Dormeuil or Scabal, but my experience with Loro Piana was not a positive one. It did not pick up a shine, but it started getting snags and runs after the first few wearings. It also drapes like toilet paper.
Well I do agree with you that Loro Piana is overated. I only stock it because clients demand it. Still prefer them to Smiths and lesser.
