I'd also taper the sleeves a bit as that should be an easy enough fix.

Does anybody have experience with the Zegna Cool Effect fabric? Does it live up to the hype, and more importantly, is it worth the significantly higher cost? WW Chan charges $400 less for a comparable weight Zegna Tropical than for the CE.

Would be great. No rush though

Do they charge comparable rates? Harrison/Isles doesn't have pricing on their website.

If this is indeed an easy fix, I second SF's suggestion.

Looks quite nice. Thanks a lot.

Some recently acquired older LL fabrics thanks to a certain SF'er. Lovely stuff. The Brisa has some give to it which I like. The brown tweed is a shade lighter than I thought it might be for whatever reason which very much turned out to my liking. It's a wonderful, warm color.

Congrats, David. I snoozed and I loozed!

What's the weight of the Brisa?

Slewfoot · Mar 16, 2011

Thanks! I believe both are around 13oz.

Indeed lovely. I looked as well, but given I've already subscribed to the upcoming RAF PoW and a light blue tweed they're offering, I decided to let this one go...

From Elliot Weave? It looks very nice on their website. Sent them emails but got no reply..

Very nice, I snagged the violet gun club from that lot.

I'm still in doubt whether to reserve the shirt shoulder for sport coats and summer suits and have an unpadded slightly roped shoulder for my business suits. Will see in two weeks when I have a fitting for 3 other suits.

In the meantime I received a W Bill Donegal (machine woven 14 oz if I'm not mistaken; will check the number when I get home) to which some minor changes were made after the last fitting.

Posted some more pictures in Parker's Donegal thread.

gorgeous. who made that?
