I thought those may be them, but I couldnt find the original post. Are there any photos showing how the fabric hangs? Just trying to make sure slub doesn't actually mean "permanently wrinkled"

A slubbed fabric has little to do with wrinkling. It simply means that both thick and thin yarns are used un the weaving process. The thicker yarns are not entirely uniform, which gives the fabric a stronger visual texture and richness.

I noticed that my slub linen/cotton Augusto jacket wrinkles far less (noticeably) than other cotton/linen blends I own.

Have no clue about whether a tailor can adequately fix it, but I noticed the same thing with the linen popover I picked up from Mr. Porter's sale. I'm currently debating whether to send it back or not. The shirt is pretty long and loose (as I prefer), but the low armhole makes the sleeve head pretty wide and surprisingly restricts movement a bit. Perhaps sizing down would have helped, but I was worried about getting a linen shirt that would be too tight and shrink the first time I would hand wash it.

Strange - this is the navy seersucker from bulk production in size L after being machine washed and dried on regular. Is this considered a low armhole? I don't know how I would feel about anything higher.

Can someone make an animated GIF with these pics?

@JonnyBoyGhostin unfortunately, I just dropped them off at the tailors, so I won't have them until next week. It is a beautiful fabric, and 55% wool, 45% linen it will wrinkle, but I don't expect (hoping) it to be as bad as, say, 100% linen.

I am doing a 1.75" cuff to help them drape, which should help too

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Did you find the waist fit TTS? Also, In your close-up shot it appeared the fabric had some dark tones to it. Are they sort of a cream color overall?

You're right, I phrased that poorly. My concern is from the Bloomingdales stock image. The fabric on the model looks like it has an odd wavy texture that would be a little to fashion-forward for my needs. It may just be a bad product shot, though.

LOL I'm a busy man - do you really think I have time for this?

No, I think that looks normal. I think the actual issue is probably that I sized up too much in an effort to add length and a little looseness. One size down probably would have been closer in terms of arm hole (and maybe would have worked elsewhere). I was sort of between sizes and probably just made the wrong choice.

Definitely reads as a solid light tan/maybe cream at a distance, no dark tones (probably due to shadows in the pic), and close up you can see the slubby texture which is nice. Sizing I took 48 which fits well for me (31-32" waist)

Out of curiosity, how many of you had the tailor put in functional button holes on the cuffs of the Augusto?

Out of curiosity, how many of you would like it if we made functional buttonholes standard on RTW augustos?

^No... I think the addition of the vent in the back is great. Functional buttonholes is just going to make any alterations that much more difficult. IMO

This may be weird, but in keeping it casual, I actually put no sleeve buttons on all of my Augustos at all.
The old Lavato jacket* I got from Off5th a while ago came with functioning buttonholes, and the sleeve length was actually perfect, but generally I personally find it too difficult to deal with on RTW tailoring.
And I will probably sew shut any vents on Augustos in the Future ...

*Sidenote: I didn't like it at first, but after adding some roping to the shoulders, it's quickly become one of my favourite Jackets.

I had my tailor do working button holes on the indigo seersucker Augusto. I'd hate it if they came with working holes, as it would make sleeve length adjustment basically impossible.

Just got the brown slug basket weave linen Augusto in the mail today. Wow is that fabric airy/gauzy. Going to do working button holes there too, but I always do that on my jackets if I can.
