I think I have the latter two, which I'm very happy with but would love to learn how the former two differ from the latter two?

 

[luxire]

They are all from the same family of fabrics, same collection.

Thanks. They're priced differently so I'm assuming something must be different?

I'll email customer service and ask whether there's any difference with regards to surface and ask for side by side pics to see if there's any difference in colour/shade.

I suspect it’s just a Luxire offer on one shade - if they get enough orders they can order the fabric in bulk which obviates some of the costs of ordering a length at a time which is implied in the pricing of the other shades.

Thanks for the clarification. That makes sense.

Thanks for confirming. The latter two are worsted according to the website which I can confirm since I have them. Can you shed light on whether the former two that are currently discounted are woollen or worsted twill?

Except the shade, they are all the same, worsted twill flannel.
All are excellent fabrics.

Luxire - I really liked the hand of Brembana White Sky Blue Dress Shirt in the recent Biz Shirt Sale. It's very luxurious. I was considering these possibilities as additions-- are there any others you'd recommend (from Brembana or others) for higher-end shirting?

• Brembana Business Blue Royal Oxford : 2-Ply Giza
• Brembana Hampton Twill Sky Blue
• Brembana 2-Ply Giza White Hampton Twill

Also, would you agree this fabric would make an excellent double-breasted jacket? Any other hidden gems you might recommend for a DB Jacket?

• Drapers Brown Macro Checks

All our Brembana fabrics are excellent, very high quality. The Monti ones are good too, but, Brembana excels.

The 3 you chose are my favorite weaves as well. Twill, Hampton, Royal being my order of preference.

For the DB jacket, we do have a lot to choose from.
I do wear a jacket in this fabric and love it.

How would you compare against https://luxire.com/products/vitale_...ey-vbc_562_801_3?_pos=8&_sid=1ffb1e4d0&_ss=r?

Mostly in terms of smoothness/softness? VBC does look a touch lighter in shade/weight.

 

[tilesomoole]

For what it's worth, I have the white sky blue you mention as well as both the white and blue hampton twills. If you like the one, you'll like the hampton twills IMO. They're not the same of course, but similar weight and excellent quality.

The weave on the twill has enough texture that both shirts work great on their own or under jackets. Excellent, especially for the price.

I bought backups of all three.

The VBC is smoother and softer. Typical of Italian vs British fabrics.
Shades are quite similar.

Canclini Machu Picchu Pique is probably the best available. Perfectly crafted as Polos by us.

On the street, one does not come across many people wearing cords.

They do not know what they are missing.

look really great but for me personally 250 for a polo shirt is a bridge too far still given how I tend to wear them
