Any views regarding Lesser's stuff (excluding the LGBs which are apparently in another league)?Hi GDL203
In reply to your question of Rangoon vs Fresco.
I am a bespoke tailor and have used both. Very different cloths.
Rangoon I think used to be more entry level under the John G Hardy as the business used to be set up with Minnis being the peak then Hardy then bunches with a red colour Criterion was one bunch.15-20 years ago now Can't be sure of this though has been a while for Rangoon. I bought a bit when they were clearing it out.Good cloth but nothing special. The Fresco has an extra twist in the yarn and therefore travels well. Either way the matt finish square weave will perform well against shining up.
To all Minnis fans out there. Just working on 2 suits in their QZ .....340 g 11 1/2 ounce super 150's . Makes up superbly. Not sure if there is another 12oz 150's out there but I have been using QZ for the last couple of years and should be on your radar for a winter suit.
My favourite cloths over the last 20 plus years, if anyone was asking?
Dormeuil Westminster 340 g super 100's discontinued and Amadeus when it used to be 2 by 2 100's.
Supertronic 360g Scabal high twist travel cloth discontinued

I had a young lady tailor form Italy ( NZ born) who visited me recently and was talking about few year old cloth being sought after in Italy as it had time to dry from the process of being made.
Anyone heard about this?
There may be something in it but sounds like a good way to sell old stock for more than $5- a metre.
Wool being hydro-scopic can suck up to 30% of its weight in water so surely it is always changing.
Still if this is the case I have plenty of old stock waiting for the right person to pay well over the odds
Mr. Barbera calls wool a living fiber, and he does not mean this metaphorically. After yarn is dyed here, it rests in the spa for as long as six months, recuperating until 20 percent of its weight is water. Then the material undergoes a 15-step process, which Mr. Barbera will not detail, other than to magisterially summarize it as “the nobilization of the fabric.”
Has anyone had a chance to compare this with some of the other luxury 11oz things-- Grand Cru, Golden Bale 11oz, etc?Hi Depsos
Yes Minnis QZ very forgiving. Must be some compromise somewhere as the price is good. Did not go up with HFW new price list and thought it may a little.
I am doing a couple of custom runs of Minnis Rangoon for the Gennaro Paone trunk shows in Hong Kong.
It's a discontinued 250-280g (8-9oz) tropical fresco suiting. Two staples will be made. One in a light navy that is colour matched to a Caccioppoli summer hopsack. It would make a great summer blazer suit. The other one is a mid grey that is very similar to the mid grey found in the now discontinued Woodhouse Summer Comfort. Please PM me if you are interested in getting some of these cloths. Price is UKP40/m plus shipping at cost (estimated at UKP30/jacket, UKP40/suit).
