Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

[Mr. Six]

I think it’s time for another run of Rangoon!!! Perhaps a plain weave navy or medium grey!!!

The people cry out for a run of the navy chalkstripe Rangoon! (Also grey chalkstripe but lower priority for the people.)

I love big lapels, delicious

Thank you.

Always happy to revisit this one! You did the necessary run of nailheads and POWs, plus a solid blue. Plainer dark navy or Oxford grey would be useful as well. (Just thinking forward to a summer 2023 wedding.)

Alright. Let's get a run of dark navy suiting 0129 Minnis Rangoon going. Will base it off of the OG version as pictured below. For those who are new to this, Rangoon is a discontinued suiting bunch from Minnis. It is a plain weave circa 280g that has a dry and smooth hand. Hangs very nicely for its weight. A good lighter weight alternative to the traditional Fresco which has a prickly hand and heavier. Please send me a PM if interested. Thanks!

Anyone have LL Cavalry Twill? Any recommendation for alternatives?

I found this to substitute for the pearl grey. Not sure if close in color.

This is very very tempting… I was just about to commission a suit as soon as tomorrow in Fox Air Midnight but this may cause me to re-evaluate. I’ve enjoyed my Rangoon in Light/Bright navy from a previous run..

I just made up a pair of LL Grey cavalry twill. They are amazing. I wish I didn’t miss out on the fawn.

you may want to check out the dugdale invincible book. They have a ton of cavalry twills in that book. I have a few of them, as well. They have a softer hand than the LL cavalry twill.

This Fearnought is not a substitute to a cavalry twill. @JHWilliams is right. You should look at the Invincible bunch. Standeven has also heavy ammunitions in their cavalry range.

Have a Spring Ram on order. Jacket with unlined sleeves. Anyone can compare to other high twists?

Careful with the unlined sleeves. Spring Ram mock leno has a very open weave. Your white shirts will likely show through. My tailor lined my sleeves with a light, dark lining.

I have three meters of the brown QUCT that I’m willing to let go to make room for my new Rangoon. PM me if you are interested.

Was a dark grey ever done? (if so, any left?)

The Dugdale invincible cavalry twills look plain? The depth of color cannot compare to LL QUCT.

I do have a few Standeven Heritage Twist Cavalry Twill bookmarked.

I was asking for a run of dark gray as well. If we can get enough to commit, I’m sure it will be done

Is that the QUCT that came out in a reddish brown?

Can you post a pic of it? And what's the weight?
