Ben which ones are the summer fabric? It's getting pretty hot here.

This looks nice great! Price point? And this will be quarter-lined, correct? Whill the cut be the same as the prior Bella Spella? The shoulders and lapels looked great, but I noticed that the jacket length was very short in the prior Bella Spella.

These new Bella Spalla are going to be $325. Only the sleeves will be lined and the make and model is improved from the previous test run of the black Bella Spalla jackets (yes, these will be longer) but we've also narrowed the lapels by popular demand (even though I personally liked the wider lapels).

Only the two navy hopsack fabrics are light weight. I'd say the wool/cotton/silk Barbera can also be worn in the spring warmer weather as it is an open weave and is 310 grams. Unfortunately two of my other lighter weight selections got canceled because the fabrics were unavailable/sold. But if these prove to do well we will be producing more of these quite regularly as they'll have an 8-10 week turnaround time.

As always I not only welcome but rely on your feedback, both positive and negative/constructive. Thanks guys!

Exciting. Is the other navy hopsack 100% wool?

The darker navy is 95% wool 5% cashmere and the other is 97% wool 3% cashmere (from Bower Roebuck - England). Both are 300 grams.

I liked the wider ones, too. But I would be equally satisfied with medium wide. What width did you choose?

Ben what are the weights on these 2?

 

[gimmeabreak]

Hm, I just noticed the bit about the lapels being narrower on the Bella Spalla. How wide are they exactly now?
I hate narrow lapels and I was really looking forward to something wider .

Same as current Classico II width, which is 8 cm (a little over 3") so really a classic width - not wide or narrow.

The dark heathered blue windowpane is 350 gr and the charcoal houndstooth is 320 gr.

Do I detect the lapels are wider on the Basil green melange jackets compared to other Benjamin or Lardini sport coats? Also, are the shoulders unconstructed? Many thanks for your help!

I love that SC... Was almost about to get it but noticed it first in about Feb. Would be a nice fall coat I feel.

Wow quite heavy but these are half lined right?

Yes indeed those are fractionally wider (1cm). Shoulders are lightly structured - slightly lighter than the Classico II. More importantly those few of you who had slight issues with collar gap and/or sleeve pitch and/or shoulder dimples should see an improvement in these areas.

It's actually surprisingly light. I wore the same in blue yesterday here in London when it was about 64 degrees.
