Thanks! Any recommendations for best linen books? Looking for a nice tan/sand color

W Bill's book is excellent. About 14oz, which I find quite comfy in the summer. It's not the weight (and heat) so much as the humidity. Linen of this quality breathes unbelievably well, and will even survive the furnace of Manhattan pretty well.

22 and 23 looks the best to my eyes

I have the Howard Yount pants that is about one shade darker than 23

My preference would be somewhere between the 23 and the HY, maybe with a bit more mottling.

23 def too dark IMHO

Do you guys have enough clothes or what?

Holland and Sherry has some nice linen books too. I recently acquired a lovely tan suit made of 11 ounce Holland and Sherry linen.

Bought a length of boating blazer fabric from Hudderfield Cloth's clearance...I believe they still have some in stock.

Some good stuff there.

I think I really like the one on the left and the Breanish is a StyFo classic.

quick question on fabric lengths to order: I want to have a 3/4 length overcoat made, hitting between the kneecap and waist

I'm a suit size 42 regular

would 3.25 yards work if the fabric has no pattern to match and it's a simple single button coat (not double breasted)?
