I'm deciding between H&S 250g 100% linen (164201) and Loro Piana 230g 55% linen / 40% wool / 5% silk (sorry, don't recall the pattern #) for a summer suit. Has anyone seen / tried either fabric? My impression is that the LP feels nicer, but the H&S feels more durable.

You have answered your own question. It depends what you want. Personally, I only like heavy hard Irish linen.
