Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

[DavidLane]

OT: Hey folks, I know some of you may not be on the Watch thread, so I wanted to post over here. I had an opportunity to join Windup NYC this year thanks to a late drop out. The dates are October 21-23rd, please roll through and say hello if you are in the city. Apologies for the shameless plug, just excited for my little company.

Thanks! I'm sure I should have been able to find that article on my own but I'm a little slow sometimes.

No problem! I was bored at work and felt like doing a little sleuthing...

At present, MOSTLY theoretical, though with a semi-consistent return to office/proper attire mandate somewhere in the future (I live in LA for now, don't judge our absurd ways), and the pained realization that most RTW doesn't jive with my physique/preferences, wanted to get SF input on cloth preferences for odd trousers.
Obviously, you've got the flannel/fresco for colder/warmer months, but what would y'all rate as second best for each season? The ideal would be a relatively low maintenance fabric that holds a decent crease with use.
I think I've mostly settled on cavalry/covert for cooler seasons (though fully open to suggestions), but trying to suss out good options for warmer weather.

linens? I also have a pair of LP trousers in “summertime” or something like that which are super light and cool on hot days

What about just doing alternative types of high twists? Fresco, 2 ply, 4 ply, etc. I like my linen trews but find they're a little bit limiting comparatively. Other than that - WSL isn't a bad option.

I was admiring this the other day. In the weight category I’m always looking for.

Anyone have a length of these fabrics willing to sell or knows something similar?

I actually have a length I've been contemplating selling. On the fence though. On one hand, green is awesome. On the other, super difficult to wear I find. Someone help convince me to keep or sell it please haha.

How many meters do you have? Is it the NMWA wool cashmere version or the original all wool version?

Either one, I'm willing to buy from you. Probably will get made by Zizolfi.
