Anyone know the weight of the cigar linen? I don't like the thin wispy stuff that hard creases from looking at it too long. I'm not expecting Minnis quality but cheap linen is not very satisfying

Which fabric do you guys think is more versatile in a small wardrobe? Leaning towards the red herringbone

Don't know if this is being ignored or simply overlooked, but I really am curious and would appreciate a reply. It's no big deal, just curious, but as the hot weather is quickly approaching here in Houston, I'm considering picking up the gray Fresco suit. @spiermackay @induere_to

IMO, the less visually interesting the more versatile, especially with a smaller wardrobe.

EDIT: I should say that something less visually interesting will get noticed less. With a small wardrobe or selection I would go with the less visually interesting one, like when you're on vacation and have to mix/match more.

Though to the contrary, something like a hopsack might be more versatile than a worsted wool as it's more in the middle of things.
