I'm curious whether the other members of SF were as surprised as I was to find out Dr. Dre was a CM enthusiast in particular the blog Permanent Style #StraightOuttaCrompton

Not at all. Not sure why one would be.

I don't think I'll ever get an unstructured/lightly structured suit again. Maybe it works for cotton or linen, but I'm not a fan of how it feels or looks (at least on me) in wool (VBC three season, in this case).

^ What a very un-igent thing to say! ;)
Seriously @Claghorn isn't this just because this suit doesn't fit you as well as the others? I can imagine that different materials require slightly different measurements.

The chest has what feels to be paper thin canvassing (light canvassing as called by KW). It feels very frumpy and it doesn't look as good as the trial jacket, which had normal canvassing. So I'm assuming it's the fact that this is pretty much unstructured (I've heard a similar complaint about unstructured jackets a few other times). There are, of course, alternative explanations.

It's a Suitsupply Hudson. It's 50/50 cotton/wool. Still available in most sizes I believe. My biggest gripe is that the lining in the chest pocket isn't big enough to comfortably hold a square. I will eventually get around to removing that lining.
Nice. I heard about that pocket square issue in the SS thread. That seams really strange.
