Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

[Despos]

Very good. I shall stock up before the fearful mobs descend on it. Empty shelves everywhere!

Think i saw you on that show about people hoarding.

I have never spent so much cash in a week on stocking supplies...

Featherweight, no durability, runs hot, and costs $450/m. How could you lose?

Spotted 2 silk jackets from Cavour that are on site-wide 30%off sale at $480 a jacket.

Please could someone talk me out of copping one of them?

One of them is a navy tonal oversized PoW in pure silk

The other is a smaller light-brown PoW pure silk.

I’m eyeing one of them along with the 2 below:

Navy mock leno

And an oatmeal wool-linen hopsack.

Do silk jackets stink after wash as I heard? (I can relate to that since it’s protein)

Cheers,

I would not wash my jackets unless I really need to...but I have odd silk noil trousers that get washed regularly and they don't smell

Yeh just in case it does need to be washed (which looks inevitable at least across its lifespan), but good to know.

Btw you’re certainly not helping to stop me spending on those by saying that

I can’t really give that advice as Im shopping around for western shirts rn...my newfound obsession after reviving my Cuban heeled RMs...and dumped money into a sports coat and a dinner jacket...and possible a silk shirt...go shop around in the stock market perhaps?

Not yet. My inner pessimist is waiting for the world to get more fucked...perhaps go stock up. I spent more this week on food and supplies then I have in three months

...I also increased my unfunded liabilities thanks to @heldentenor ...go buy more cloth for bespoke commissions!

@dieworkwear Standeven has made a new batch of Cavalry Twills may be worth a look. 18oz is a bit heavy but CT wears cooler.

Fair point. Looks really cool though and the hand is probably amazing.

Sheesh you all...I'm having a cream silk DJ made and possibly a silk dinner shirt...stop trying to dissuade me

But not fuzzy silk and cashmere blend for the summer?
