I'd be down with just a fabric label for sure. I mean, if I get an H fabric, I really want one to show the fabric for a resale, as I stated. The A's and B's aren't as big of a deal.

Fair enough, I can understand that. Do you know for a fact though that a KW suit made with one of the name brand luxury fabrics does not have a fabric label? Because in stitches' new Tiberias suit (same manufacturer as KW uses) has a Loro Piana label inside, but my Tiberias suit, made with a basic fabric, has no label at all.

Very very good question. Maybe it's a recent development? Or maybe just in the higher end fabrics? If this is the case, I rest my case.

 I have that solid fabric, but I say be bold and go with Herringbone!  

PS. My wedding is today, so I will be posting photos of me and my guys in our suits sometime tomorrow.


Hey Al, hope the wedding went well! Still like to see those pics if you feel like posting them. :)

If nobody does it before, I can let everybody know in ~3 weeks whether a G-range jacket has a fabric label.

Wish the pocket squares were larger, but I guess others like the smaller size.


My only KW pocket square is a white linen, but I definitely like the smaller size. Folds nicely into thirds for a TV fold without too much bulk in the pocket.

Why do I get an itching for a new KW PS at least once a month?

Because they're great. Duh.

I still don't have a linen one. Hm.

Is that the navy Irish linen jacket? Can't wait to hear a review and see some pics of how that one turns out. What kind of lining did you go for?
