Hello all, I am very new to here. I would like to ask for all kinds of advice on the which BRAND of fabrics would you recommend? The weather in my living place (Hong Kong) is humid and hot at the same time. As summer is coming soon, I am looking for summer-style fabrics. Also I would prefer midnight to dark navy colors. Open to all brand options.

Some high twist ones that would work well for HK: Minnis Fresco, Drapers Ascot, Smith Woollens Finmeresco, Dugdale Tropicalair, Holland and Sherry Chrispaire, Fox Bros Fox Air

Don't have any experience with LP Australius, Tropical Amadeu, or Minnis QX2...although they are all well know mills, so I'm sure their at least decent cloths

If you're not doing a high twist, I would just stick to light (280g/m) plain weave cloths for hot and humid weather
