Hi guys, what do you think of high twist fabrics? I have heard all the good things about wrinkle resistant feature etc, but when I was looking at standeven explorer book the other day, the peeling of fabrics in the book really puts me off.

I'm not the most experienced in this, but I have a few pairs of pants in Fresco or Drapers 4 ply and haven't noticed any real problems in the 2 years I've owned them. However, I've also never encountered pilling in any of my clothes so it may be down to your gait and if it leads to extra pilling.

Hi, can someone who's tried Ng sifu educate me on what makes him stand out? He can make unlined unstructured jackets, yes, but there's gotta be sth else about his works surely (well-cut / pressed / fitted)? I find the comments on him to be somewhat polarizing.

In addition to the above, I find that one big point is that he manages his own workshop across the border -- in contrast, to outsourcing it.
