I wonder if you had some thoughts on this?
I'm planning to have a suit made by a local tailor -- a 3-piece charcoal pinstripe.
He is strongly recommending fabric from Vitale Barberis Canonico Revenge 4. Specifically, a wide spaced, grey pin stripe on charcoal -- V-5833466. He gave me an estimate of $1400.
Then he also mentioned a super 120 from Lessor #705-18 "˜for a little more money' but didn't give an estimate.
I came across a thread on SF from 2005 that suggests that VBC is inferior to other fabric mills. If I understand the thread, the VBC is actually a 2 x 1 weave but the others, such as Lessor, are a true 2 x 2.
What do you think of VBC versus others such as Lessor?
What are the ramifications of selecting a 1x2 over a 2x2 weave?
Regards
