Fellas, gray or navy? I am leaning navy because it seems more versatile (I have a small suit rotation compared to a lot here).
Assuming both available in your size, I say navy 100%. Though, in fairness, grey is probably a bit more versatile.

I am interested in picking up a pair of Soloviere Ray's, but I'm really unsure about the sizing, so I was hoping to get some advice before pulling the trigger.

On the Jacques Soloviere website, they say the Ray fits TTS, and offer a sizing sheet which I printed out and tells me I am a 44 (which seems big), but I see on the Armoury page that the Ray runs big and to size down. I usually wear US10.5 in sneakers, and US10 in dress shoes and I have a slightly wide foot, but a 44 would be closer to an 11 from what I see. Thoughts?

To the blue/grey debate, though you can absolutely look fantastic in a dark grey suit, I just don’t think there is any scenario (excluding tails/tuxedo due to rarity) in which a guy can look better in tailored than in an outfit such as this.

Digging the model 3 drops. Have a few ties made up in the wool/linen solbiati cloth. Imagine it would wear quite well as a jacket. Plenty of drape.

Hello everyone! Has anyone bought the model 3 in this wool/silk/linen fabric and can speak to the weight and comfort in the heat?
The sports coat is paired with a high twist wool in the lookbook and historically of course wsl has been used for summer blazers, but the release in FW has me a bit concerned. Any input appreciated!

I tried this on the last time I was in store actually. I'd say it’s mid-weight - definitely wearable fall through spring here in NYC (although you mileage may very). For me I think it’d probably be a bit warm for true summer, but I also run quite hot. It’s a beautiful jacket though!
