Sure, but it seems they use the word Khakee (as opposed to khaki) as a name for this specific cotton quality since also the blue is called khakee. Would really love to have a tan and olive version as well... Maybe stuff for a special run?


The Navy Kakhee is indeed really nice!

I bet many hours of pain-staking hand-sewing went into that awesome lapel roll.

First fitting of my first bespoke suit from Sartoria Corcos. A bit too large in the shoulders and waist but otherwise it felt good.

The cloth is from the Minnis Classic II bunch,13 Oz navy. I'm already thrilled for my next order which will be something in midweight grey. I'm thinking about sharkskin, birdseye or subtle herringbone. Suggestions?

I like sharkskin out of the three. Never been crazy about small scale herringbones. They take on an alternating stripe effect when seen from a few feet away.

Also think nailhead looks better than birdseye, but just a personal preference.
