Looks great Andy. Have also looked at this one from Caccioppoli which I like very much, which it were 50g heavier though.

Looks great, wouldn't mind the jacket being that weight actually, my main concern is the trousers. Is yours a full suit?

Yes, so far so good with trousers.

Look what came in today's mail!

This is the No Man Walks Alone x Fox Brothers Merino jacketing that @gdl203 organized a few months ago. Super soft cloth, beautiful colors in the mix. Thanks, Greg!

@OscarO Mine, in the Dugdale. Might be too light for you though. 280/310g from memory.

Looks like fox brothers just launched their new tropical suiting range ‘fox air’ for £140. Any opinions on how it compares to fresco...coz thats alot of greenbacks

Does anyone have recommendations for a tobacco brown linen? I'm thinking mid weight so it doesn't crease like crazy and will also hold up a bit better. Was also thinking I might go linen/silk instead, I really like this jacket in a linen/silk blend, but I think full linen is what I would like the best.

I have this one in London Lounge Cloth Club in tobacco brown it's weight is similar to W. Bill linen but it's quite dense so it doesn't crease as much.

Lovely shade of siena.

I feel like there are, broadly speaking, two kinds of tobacco linen. The ones, like Andy's, that have some orange in them, and ones which are more dusty, like one of the suits from the start. Can't tell which I prefer...

Local MTM here, not bespoke.

Endes up going with this caccioppoli, was first thinking about the lighter shade I posted before, but after consulting with my tailor we decided this one was better. Think it will look great this summer!

Haven't seen it, but I'd be cautious. Their lightweight worsteds are elegant, but prone to wrinkle/crease in all the wrong ways. Which is not to say that they haven't got a new formula. Their 11oz "Twist" sport jacket fabric, while hardly bomb-proof, is surprisingly good.

Guys,

Perhaps one of you can help me.

I'm looking for the VBC/Drapers ref. (from Drapers Mohair and Two-Ply book) of this fabric below. I picked up the fabric for a steal and had a blazer made, but never had the ref.

Recently seen it on this Sartoria Formosa suit, and thought that it might not be a bad idea.
