Looks to be beautiful for the high summer, but the 6.5-7.0 oz. cloth gives me pause. Hoping its not like tissue paper.

It scares me. It's also 120s, right?Originally Posted by Manton
Rangoon is so good, as are the lightweight frescos, that I have never been tempted.
I love Rangoon as well and I sometimes even prefer it to the Lesser Super Tropical book. But Airborne does have some very interesting patterns that the staid Rangoon book does not.
Looks as if you have the same concerns as me.

I'm familiar with the book that the NY tailors have. There are two solid blues, one is a very dark navy, the other a lighter, brighter navy. The lighter one is 0521 -- I have a coat from that. I can't remember which one is 0520. But I do remember that earlier this year, I looked at the book specifically looking for a solid AF blue and did not find one. The closest color had a stripe.
Maybe there used to be an AF blue that ran out and the distributor pulled the swatch from the book, and now it is being re-run. Dopey's comment that it was markd as not available until April '08 suggests that.

that would not suprise me when i was in london in March i was looking thru the Fresco book in A&S and it had been cut out of their sample book. it is a very simular blue to the RAF blue it perhaps IMO the best plain blue i have seen.
like you said the other 2 are a normal navy and a midnight which are fairly standard imo! the Harrison's frontier book have some really great blues to chose from much and well worth looking at for odd coats

Manton, I'm sorry for my awful english...Originally Posted by serce
Is Rangoon good for an unlined suit ?
I don't think so. I think it is too light, and also not quite porous enough to really benefit from being unlined.
If you want unlined, try the fresco book.

My tailor is working on 2 suit unlined. Fresco 500 and 505.
I've seen Rangoon clipping and it's very good.
I think Rangoon is a bit more formal than fresco. I have a "Rangoon project" for next year.

Playing with fire perhaps, but I just got 3.5 meters of the 6.5 oz. Airborne cloth below. 2-button, notch lapel, double vents with 2 patch pockets:
