Ideas for Sartoria Formosa Spring/Summer 2017 - Cast your Vote!

[gdl203]

Here are some ideas for spring/summer. Please vote for ALL of the fabrics that you like. When there are two similar fabrics (like the two PoW suits) please vote for one so we can see which is the favorite.

There are a lot of options here but eventually, I will narrow down to 3-4 suits and 4-5 sport coats.


SPORT COATS

P&H Glorious Twelfth brown glenplaid with blue overcheck - 340g wool, not really spring/summer but more of a 3-season weight








Moon's perfect lightweight gunclub - 290g wool






Inspiration





Drapers Two-Ply brown and beige small gunclub, 250g wool, crisp weave








Caccioppoli wool/silk/linen brown glenplaid, 240g








Caccioppoli wool/silk/linen blue, grey & brown gunclub, 240g






Drapers copper brown hopsack, 270g (MOP buttons?)










@dieworkwear 's brown "summer tweed" (60% linen, 40% silk. 9/10 oz) - smoke MOP buttons? -- very limited - we can only make 8 jackets total

Delfino 75% wool / 25% linen grey/wine gunclub (beige MOP buttons)





Inspiration


RE-ISSUE: Caccioppoli washed navy canvas linen (chestnut corozo buttons)











SUITS


Drapers Light Panama wool 230g blue mini-tooth (could be ordered as jacket only as well - that very Neapolitan blue giacca...)









The Olive Cotton Suit, Drapers 390g




Example:


H&S Cool Breeze cream/brown PoW with blue overcheck, 240g wool [option to do 3-piece]








Drapers Two-Ply perfect grey windowpane, 250g [option to do 3-piece]








Drapers Two-Ply medium grey PoW, no overcheck (all business), 250g [option to do 3-piece]







RE-ISSUE: Minnis Navy fresco 9/10 oz [option to do 3-piece]

That Porter and Harding is pretty nice looking!

Could the Minnis re-issue come as a BlazerSuit?

Will there be a trunk show in San Francisco at which we can get measured for a MTM order? Would there be a price difference between the pre-order?

I think we could split two options for pre-orders: (a) regular shoulders, flap pockets, and (b) spalla camicia, patch pockets.

No SF trunk show on the horizon.

Can't believe the Drapers windowpane only has 4 votes (including mine). The brown POW suit also seems pretty cool.

People should know that the fabrics in the Glorious Twelfth book are really nice. Just saying.

Have to say, I really like the idea of that olive cotton suit. Assume it would work well as separates too.

@gdl203 is there any scope for Formosa to offer higher-rise trousers with side tabs?

We haven't developed a RTW model like that but many customers order their MTM and bespoke suits/trousers with higher rise and side tabs

I'd like to throw a wrench in the spring selection process for Formosa. I reviewed the Solbiati linen options yesterday and here are some that I love - all 100% linen, great hand

Jackets










Suit: found the perfect navy tonal seersucker (finally!)




show of hands - which ones do you like?

 

[justinkapur]

1 and 3!
