These suits are pretty close to what I was looking to get this season, but (a) would prefer some stretch (I know that's not a popular opinion on StyFo); and (b) am skeptical of the weight. 410 gsm is pretty close to overcoat weight, right? At least the tweeds SCs I have in that weight all feel more like outerwear to me. Does it work differently for cotton than wool?

Got my shawl cardigan and it's 95% perfect. I chose S for my 160 pound, 5'9" frame and it fits well (and it'll stretch a bit, too), But whoever was sewing on the loop for the top button clearly didn't understand that the button won't go through a loop that's so damn small. I'll have to add a larger one to make it work.

Agreed. I don't mind the taupe or the navy (I already have one in navy, though), but the rest of them are wack. Seems like almost all the good colors are reserved for the various new sweater styles they're releasing this season. I like the broad selection of styles they have now, though. Especially the shorter length ones. Too bad that a lot of the styles miss out on the best colors, and that they've stocked such a tiny amount per size.

Agreed. I'm not one to be daring with my sweater colours but maybe it was highly requested those colours? Can't please everyone though

Do you mind posting fit pics?

I haven’t seen long sleeve cardigans in the released bunch yet. Anyone know if they only opted for the sleeveless this year, or if they’ll be coming in October?

That was my thought. Beautiful but probably too close to the Black and Red. Hope there will be at least one other Harris Tweed offering

Sometimes keeping it simple works best.
Testing out the burgundy MTO Neo SC. Paired here with SM stone coverts and SM Italian collar oxford bd (we need more of these, by the way). A well cut Neo SC in a solid/texture, nicely rolled collar bd, and odd trews could be my forever uniform.
