Made in Italy?
Pants, yes. Fabric, not sure.Made in Italy?
Dugdale Invincible Collection has some beautiful woolen cords!!!Was only asking of the make. Italy is obvious to the trained eye. 😉
only Bedford cord I knew of in sample books was Holland & Sherry. I have a few yards, color is a few steps darker than a marshmallow
Lax brain surgeons?Lax tailors, nothing worse than that. Although somewhat lax isn’t as bad as fully lax

I sense this is a trick question
well, typically fishtail backs are associated with English tailoring. so, I was intrigued when my friend & trousersmaker, Marco cerrato, had a model doing a fishtail back in Napoli. I figured I’d give it a go. I’m pleased with the resultI sense this is a trick question

Best heavy hopsack is by Drapers. Hardly anyone knew about it because it was in their formal book.
Soft enough to feel like a sweater with enough body that it tailored well and you could shape it perfectly.
Hardy enough to hold its shape and not bag. Didn’t attract lint like you might expect.
Wore light for it‘s weight.
two colors, dark navy and darker navy.
it isn’t in the latest formal book, will find out if they still offer it
now you have to reveal it ahahaha
That is, the fabric code for sure.
If it's from the old(er) bunch, doesn't matter, we'll track it down.
Best,
Dimitris

Jersey Cotton. Not exactly what people think of when they think of dress shirts, but I bought one years ago from turnbull & asset, and after a lot of wear, retired it, and asked the shirtmaker for something similar. I've used it for dress shirts, but I think its best for button downs & polos.
What’re your thoughts on drapers vs Eurotex hopsack / basket weave? I was in Naples comparing fabric.View attachment 1967429
