Lane Crawford has posted a preview of their first drop here.

For those of you looking for a grey/black herringbone odd jacket, you can't do much better than this fabric they have in the Augusto.

It looks like a heavy tweed but is actually a butter soft flannel from Bottoli.

I am looking to replace the buttons on my navy hopsack Tenero jacket to brown horn buttons; just personal preference

Any thoughts on these? Too light, just right?

I recognize that photo from Etsy! I've bought buttons from the same seller to replace buttons on a few Eidos sport jackets. The above would work, though for me, I think Smoke Mother-of-Pearl would work better with navy jackets. The above would work fine with dark green, tan, and brown jackets. My opinion, and again, this medium brown horn is fine for navy.

I agree, it would be a great match for greens/browns/tans. And you're correct, the image is from Etsy, which they also sell at eBay; where I went ahead and ordered a set to see in person.

To your point, if it doesn't work for the navy hopsack, then I could upgrade buttons on another jacket. I am trying to keep this jacket to more of a casual feel, which is why I was initially thinking brown horn buttons versus MoP; which is also a good option.

I put similar brown horn buttons on my navy seersucker Augusto and I am happy with it; fits the causal vibe. I could see it working with a Tenero too

I've been thinking the same for my seersucker augusto, any thoughts on the weight/thickness of the horn buttons and this fabric, considering the augusto is completely unlined and the fabric is pretty light.

I put those exact buttons (I think--if not, very similar) on a hopsack navy Ring Jacket and loved the result. I think they're a great, versatile shade for odd jackets of all sorts.
