You blow Drake's away now, even without consideration to their outlandish pricing. Besides always having been a bit troublesome for those of us under 6 foot, Drake's took an aesthetic left turn towards 1990's father who stopped caring and realized he forgot the orange slices for his kids' soccer match:

"Ugh, how will I get that mud out of the minivan upholstery?"

But if you really want me to never visit their site again, you could create a Neo version of the Mk I games suit: ultra casual (especially summer) suit that can be thrown in the washing machine. Double-breasted version also welcome.;)

Yeah, That Mud Is A *****!

Actually working on an unlined/garment washed jacket that can be machine washed. Kind of a Chore sportcoat.

Yesterday I spilled some tomato sauce on my S&M light brown linen jacket, threw it (folded nicely in a mesh bag) in the washing machine, washed it at 40C, and put it on a hanger. It survived. I do have a particularly good steam generator iron setup from Philips, which helps with such abuse!!

Much worse than this guy. Not the white suit but I seem to cook red/green pasta sauces dressed in white shirts and light blue / brown linen jackets and trousers!! A regular pattern related to starting dinner immediately after coming home from work, without changing into something different.

Recent MTO delivery in neo cut. Bottoli Light Brown which is a 50/44 linen/cotton blend (plus a bit of polyamide & silk) with great texture, open weave and light blue thread woven throughout. This was offered OTR in SS2019 as Brown Mix Slub but I missed my size at the time and finally pulled the trigger on an MTO version. Measurements are adjusted from in-store MTM a few years ago. Button stance looks a little high in this photo for some reason but in reality it’s the same as all my other jackets. Overall very happy except for some lapel bowing but that’s on me for COVID weight gain. Comments/critique welcome.

The blue highlights and weave/texture are much more evident in the below photo next to the Bottoli medium brown from SS2020.
