I have a brown plongé flight jacket and a brick cashmere shirt waiting for me - incredibly excited.

The plongé has really grown on me since I first started paying attention to Stoffa 3-4 years ago and found it a little plasticky.

The chocolate plonge is so good in person. Excited to break mine out for the season.

The more I've been looking at brands like Stoffa (recent lookbooks) Lemaire, and fear of god, the more I want to get rid of the cuffs on all of my basketweaves and do a plain hem with a slight break. I want slutty drape like the lookbooks, does basketweave do that well?

Is there a Stoffa BST thread? Would be useful. I've had a bunch of pieces commissioned over the years, but with prices almost doubling (?) since I bought my first pair of pants, I don't think I'll get any more new pieces unless it's something I think I'll wear a ton.

Looking at their website and wow, you are right. The prices have gone up significantly since I last shopped there. Glad I got my flight jacket when I did.

I really like just about all the Stoffa stuff I have but as much as the current collection's black basketweave trousers tempt me, I don't think I want to spend $475 on them.

Their U-neck sweater vests are the only sweater vests I've ever seen that look good, glad I grabbed a couple of them as well back in the day.

If you have a tailor, check out Brisbane Moss Canvas Milton, it's a panama canvas but I've found it similar but not machine washable.

I'm not sure what "slutty drape" means, but assuming it means a bit of slouch I'm on board as well. I've really turned around on a non cuff, especially with some additional slack. I think a fuller and slighly longer cut of the box pleat basketweave would work very well, as well as the wool options.

I've had that done to a bunch of trousers along with opening up with width from the lower thigh down. I've been pretty happy with the results, but never on a basketweave. I think the drape works better on wools vs cottons IMO.

Took the 20% sale as a reason to get the chocolate plonge asymmetric jacket and a cloud hoodie. Was eventually gonna buy at full price anyway but this is too good to sleep
Would desperately like to know where you're getting this discount from - eyeing a black plonge flight jacket 👀

Not a public sale--limited to certain customers and linked to accounts, so non-transferrable/sharable. Came here after a hiatus to see if all account holders got one or if it was limited to particular clients. Don't want to investigate too much so as to let the company run itself how it wants to, but I got the code with an annual buy of probably $3k a year for the last 3-4 years.
Figured this was the case. Certainly appreciate the confirmation!
