I have this. Not quite as epic as the ecru heavy vintage, but a really lovely fabric. Heavy enough for a range of climatic conditions, but it’s linen so will look a bit odd if worn out of season. Not to be worn in the vicinity of small children or animals...

Luxire has the linen-cotton canvas in white, that would be my choice as an underrated fabric suitable for at least 3 season wear:

Linen Cotton Canvas:Muslin White

60% Linen 40% Cotton ,345 gsm, 11 oz Machine Wash Cold, Tumble Dry

Alternately, perhaps @luxire can help you source a suitable fabric?

For Sweden, 4-season wear, I would recommend the Brisbane Moss Keats. Also available in white, cream.
It is an amazing fabric in our experience.

Thanks for the reply! I tend to prefer twill or plain unless it's a 100% linen pant. Also heard that a linen/cotton mix usually will crease as much as 100 linen but without the benefits of ventilation, maybe that isn't your experience?

Brisbane moss looks great @luxire but would really like it in an off white color, any other suggestions maybe?

I have a few pairs of the linen cotton canvas. The blend and the weave means it seems to hold a crease much better than pure linen. It breathes adequately, but is a dense fabric so I wouldn’t wear in tropical heat. I’d consider it an all-rounder with a slight bias to spring/summer, but that’s also true of white as a colour.

Thanks for the very swift reply! Sweden could rarely be seen as tropical so that won't be a problem then, and great to know that it holds a crease well. I tend to think that canvas works best in spring/summer but I do think that off white or cream trousers looks great on a crisp winter day as well, though preferrably corduroy, flannel, plain or twill. Also aware that a twill can be flanneled and so on but yeah, I think you know what I mean, you seem to have a knack for clothing

Thanks, saw that! The white is a tad bit too white for me and the cream has too much beige in it but thanks för the suggestion.

Looks great - @luxire any comments on this fabric? Seems pretty light, wonder how it would drape.

Yes, we do.

The weight was in gsm, so the actual weight is 7.5 Oz. The fabric is excellent, great drape.
The price was an error and has been corrected. The orders already placed will be honored.

Am I correct in assuming that submitting body measurements for trousers and 'regular' will give me a regularly fitting trouser? Well, one which is supposed to fit regularly given the extent of online MTM without fittings. Or was I supposed to fill in all of the boxes?

Hello all, got a few questions about shirts.
Looking at getting one made to start replacing my off the rack ones. I'm after a thin, crisp, dry fabric in white. Could anyone make any suggestions? Something like this fabric from Saman Amel:

Second, in terms of fit: I'm a thin, tall guy, and even the slimmest of cuts from TM Lewin, one of the 3 affordable English shirtmakers ends up billowing out in my mid and lower back.
While I don't want to get a skintight shirt, I don't want it to be rather trim in the waist and hips so I don't get any flaring out in those areas. Should I get my shirt in slim or super-slim from Luxire?
What would be fantastically helpful is if someone could post a picture of them in a super-slim and a slim shirt for comparison.

Thanks so much ahead of time.

The best approach is to take a really well fitting shirt (if you aren’t there yet consider getting one tailored) and send it in for them to replicate (and tweak off of that if needed).

Maybe brembana white twill also Google wollen hulls luxire shirt cloth guide. Ask them to pre-wash to avoid shrinkage.

Measure your best fitting shirt and adjust. If you are slim avoid back pleats and make it with darts. Dont decrease measurments too much on your first shirt. If it is slightly too big you can have it slimmed by a local alteration tailor. Expect 2-3 tries before it is "perfect" and enjoy the Journey as much as the goal.

Thanks for the replies, I live in a smaller city in England and there aren't any MTM or bespoke tailors around, as far as I know. Have considered having the first shirt made bespoke but not an option currently.
That Brembana twill looks good, should I be going for a fabric of lower weight if I want a shirt that's not stiff, shiny, and super formal.
These two cloths from Turnbull and Asser are exactly what I'm looking for (slightly too dear though).

Don’t think you need a bespoke tailor to do some alterations on a shirt. A regular alterations tailor is fine. I also wouldn’t recommend picking an expensive fabric for your first shirt.
