Pretty self evident above but looking to commission a MTM summer suit in a beige or taupe color. No specific budget in mind and willing to pay for quality. Any bunches from mills or merchants in mind? Thanks so much in advance for your help!

You’ll actually be more comfortable in a 100% summer weight wool (7-8 oz.) than a wool/cotton blend. The cotton will be heavy. The wool will drape better.
as far as mills, I’m a big fan of Loro Piana so see what the tailor offers.

Wool cotton is a somewhat unusual blend - this is a bit like "Who is your favorite left handed bespoke tailor?"
Brunello Cucinelli seems to have a nice couple suits in the fabric. Maybe this is something to look for in an off-the-rack selection?

They may be nice suits, but it just sounds like an unusual combination. Not saying it doesn't exits, but perhaps not ideal for a suit. Just my opinion.
