Kept it airy today with slouchy linen and tropical weight wool. It's still a hot one here in Denver.

Thanks for the kind words - it's from the Lindley Collection (Huddersfield) - 9/10oz with an open weave and a very dry, crisp hand. It's a nice, durable three season cloth (for Australia). It's not quite sharkskin but has a similar texture and weave.

Just read through your Despos thread. Glad you got a chance to go to Grace (they got their 3rd Mich. star, if you didn't know), it's truly a spectacular dining experience. More spectacular, though, was your description of the process you had with Chris Despos. I plan on seeing him sometime in the next year as well. Many thanks for the inspiration.

I also appreciated Newcomer's thread. I just moved to Chicago and will be visiting Despos in a few weeks...

^ Really like the top block, but the blues of the pant and jacket are clashing IMO. Great square and tie combo.

Many peoples tell me that, since it's not the first time I wear this jacket with this trouser, but sometimes same people tell me that they like it, so I think it's maybe because the color/light angle on the pictures.
