I posted this somewhere else. That thread is already derailed. Let's try to keep this clean.
Here are the four Solitos that came yesterday.
Tan linen from Tip Top:
This is unusual. There is the little touch of lining at the shoulder but none in the sleeves:
All the other jackets have regular sleeve lining.
Minnis 7/8 fresco, second lightest gray. It looks ligher than that pic.
This is tan Lesser Tropical. You can see the faint pic around the pocket outline in this picture. Luigi said that on a lined coat he would have tacked the pocket to the lining but as this is unlined he had to do it this way. Actually, I have stuff from other tailors with flap pockets and they just let the pocket sort of dangle so this is either unique to Italy, Naples, or Solito. Anyway, I have never seen it before.
Same coat; I can already hear the critiques of this pic and OMG!! how bad that coat fits!!!
Hard as nails 10 (or so) ounce B&W nailhead fresco from Tip Top; this cloth is freakin' awesome:
