- More Neapolitan suits in 130+ count fabric
Cashmere, Cashmere blend, silk blend, more vibrant color v-necks in wool and/or silk
- Rain mac or jackets. Can we incorporate Gore-Tex or something technical in the fabric?
- Linen/Silk combo or Linen/Modal or Linen/Tencel combo shirts, jackets and pants.
- Jeans with just a touch of elastane in them. Light, mid, dark in various inseams. Shorter rise with somewhat larger leg opening. Brooks Brothers Milano cut comes to mind.

Suggestions in general
- Slim trousers that have somewhat wider leg openings (the current slim is way too tight on the calves) but the contemporary is too roomy around the arse and too long of a rise.
- Stretchable waistband on trousers. Works wonders on side tab trousers.
- Non iron fabric dress shirts that don't shrink out of the dryer.
- Regular cut dress shirts that don't have a huge waist drop.
- Long ties over 59 inches

3. E.Thomas produced a beautiful fabric a couple of years ago in a subtle herringbone donegal 90wool/10cashmere fabric that was breath taking. If you would find a similar fabric and make sport coats in navy, moss/forrest green and/or dark/chocolate brown with a Neapolitan cut, I might have to purchase them all. Please see attached pic of the navy fabric. I tried to hide the vendor affiliation in the pic provided. Let me know if it violates the rules and I will delete it.
That is a gorgeous fabric. Would definitely be all over a true navy herringbone jacket like this.

Here's the brown version. I need a navy, brown and dark/bottle green version of each in my life.

thanks. I find the white specking distracting on the brown herringbone but just my opinion; for some reason it seems more subtle on the navy jacket you posted earlier.

It's a tad more subdued in reality. The specking is actually tan. Here's another pic. But definitely more visible in the brown than the navy.

actually, owning both those jackets (and the brown being my pic actually), they're different.
the brown is actual donegal tweed, though it's not a heavy tweed so it's wearable in only mild winter weather. no herringbone pattern.
the e.thomas navy faux-donegal herringbone is fantastic. soft, beautiful, textured but just looks navy from afar.

Gents, it's that time of year. We're working on FW20 - actually I'm behind a bit with placing fabric orders.

So what would you like to see for FW20
