Calling all Chanfans: One of the two items I am going to be ordering from W.W. Chan when Patrick comes through next month is a 6x2 DB navy blazer. I am a little uncertain about fabrics. I note that the "special" fabric is Loro Piana Super 120. Many forum regulars seem to hold this fabric in low regard as being too delicate and insubstantial, and it seems better suited to a suit than a blazer in any event.
The two blazers Chan has made for me have been from VBC Super 130, which Patrick recommended to me. I have had no problems with them so far, but I have only had the blazers for a year and six months, respectively.
Of the fabrics regularly carried by Chan, would VBC Super 130 be my best bet for all-year wear in Southern California, or does anyone have any better ideas? I would not be averse to going to a higher quality fabric, but I'd kind of like to keep the price of the completed garment under about $800. Any suggestions?
