^Those look great. Trousers in that light gray suiting fabric would also be a winner, IMO.

Also, I got my Donland Chambray Contemporary shirt in, and it is great! Wonderfully soft out of the box, and it fits me like it was MTM. I will probably order more shirts from these guys, because you simply cannot beat the value at this pricepoint. I really like the large spread collar as well--something you don't see on many OTR brands. Anybody have experience with the following fabrics?

I am looking for shirts that are not too stiff, and relatively opaque.

I have the bengal stripe in blue but I think the fabric would be the same as the light blue. I like it and wear that shirt a lot. I wish I have bought the chemsford stripe before my size is sold out.

11 degrees this AM, reached for a Blue Herringbone Flannel. Hope there is more of these in the pipeline for Fall, even more casual patterns. I could live in these all fall/winter...

Here is the 2nd Sample of the Full Canvas. Added the 3 roll 2.5 Button Stance. Made a couple of minor tweaks. Ready for production. I'll be visiting the factory mid October to get this running.

Hard to tell from the pic, but the finishing on this is impeccable.

Can you provide deets on fabric and cost?

Havn't decided on fabric yet. Price will be determined after fabric is solidified. Idea is to keep this between $600 - $650 CAD ($450 - $500 USD) General consensus it to keep the fabric around the 110's mark to make it a bit more hard wearing. Should be able to keep this in this general price as long as the CAD doesn't dramatically dip too much lower.

It's hard to tell, but on the right sleeve, it looks like the jacket has working cuffs. Please don't put working cuffs on it as some of us have to adjust the sleeve length. It would be easier if you did not put the faux button stitching on it either.

This sample has working cuffs, but that won't be carried into production. The sleeve will be left without buttons (buttons will be included) and can be attached by your local tailor after the sleeve is altered.

Nice! Thank you sir. For the first release, will it be navy, medium gray, and charcoal?

The samples look great. Look forward to their launch in the near future!
