@spiermackay what color cord jacket if it's not a secret? Already bought the green check HT and need to plan my purchases for the season.

Same time. I’ve had the AFV blazer since release, picked up the other two on sale. Don’t get me wrong, they’re still beautiful- but not worth the ridiculous #menswear hype.

Total first world problems. I’m still wearing them once a week. I’m also bitter because the A/C in my classroom doesn’t work right now.

That sucks. Why did you buy 2 more items if the first one was heavy and scratchy?

The AFB “feels different” than the grey/navy for some reason. It’s probably the exact same. Also, I live on the west coast, and Ricky is being super annoying by not opening a store here.

The Navy has mohair - I think 15% (don't quote me) - might explain why that one feels different. The gray should be the same as the AFB/tobacco though.

Unpopular opinion: Minnis Fresco is not comfortable.
I agree. I have the brown pants from last year I believe. Very itchy when you are sitting down. The fabric feels like gauze. I was surprised about the hype as well. Tropical wool now is my fabric of choice for the heat.

Fresco Lite is way better for comfort against the skin.

Depends how sensitive your skin is, I don't even notice unlined fresco against my legs

Fresco Lite is way better for comfort against the skin.

I hear it doesn't drape as well throughout the course of the day though
