Thanks, Rick! How about the medium gray texture in terms of how it holds up over time? Any personal preference between the two?

Both are about equal. Just personal preference. Both use the same yarn, just woven differently.

Last question - which will wear better in warm weather? Thanks, Rick!

Does anyone have live action footage of the light blue suit or dark grey tropical? Thanks!

The matte. As @Betelgeuse mentioned, this is woven a bit more open, sort of like a faux fresco, so it allows for more air to move through the cloth.

These are the olive cotton chinos with a pressed crease. They are contemporary and I think this may make me in the minority, but on cotton pants, I think contemporary should have a touch more taper. Maybe .5 inches. I love the seat and thigh cut, but a taper on cotton pants would be nice. I’m fine with this on wool trousers.

Tapering is a lot easier than letting out though, so I would recommend the taper staying the same for contemporary. (You're physically limited by how much extra material there is for letting out; I've done it and there's not much to play with)

Arg - those look so good. I missed the boat on those in 38c, sold out fast!

Looks very plush and comfy.

I have the lovat moleskin too and can attest to that. Though my wife isn't crazy about the color...

This is a must cop 44L bois. Suit and separates are so very wearable and interesting

The lovat is greener than I’d expected—almost military, and super-adaptable. I keep googling pronunciations of lovat, because it’s a word I’d never even seen until @spiermackay put out these items.

It’s pocket square Xmas this morning. I can’t wait to wear these. FYI the edges are sewn rather than hand rolled. In case that matters to you. Very fine wool. I’m over the moon.
