The famous chambray poly scandal!Simonnot Godard chambray is made from polyester. You can try that.
Feels about heavy for shirting?
Shame there doesn't seem to be a white or light blue color though.
Linen? Bamboo?Can anyone recommend me linen or other non-cotton shirt fabric? Would like to experiment with something that's not cotton for a change. I can't recall any US fabrics mentioned on here, though that would be a bonus.
Thanks!
Are you asking me? My suit is made from a Loro Piana wool-silk fabric.
I think at some point, a wardrobe gets big enough where it's OK to have some things you'll only wear once in a blue moon. I think versatility is a bigger deal if you have a small wardrobe.
That Loro Piana cloth looks great! But do you guys get much wear out of your suits? How often do you wear them and on what occasion?I had a suit made up in Loro Piana's "Lightest" a wool/silk Seersucker. Similar to this Armoury suit but I got Navy (theirs is lighter blue)

I wore it regularly two seasons ago (Derek’s Before Times) but not once in 2020 thanks to telework. I used the Navy fabric as I could pull it off at work. I live in DC and summers are sticky and awful for us suit wearers. My suit in this fabric fit nicely into the work rotation.That Loro Piana cloth looks great!

The Execs love it as they can all drive in and park in their buildings. All a/c, all day. Us Metro schleps have to get creative.My God, DC in the summer. I can't imagine in a suit.
FTFYLinen? Plastic?
