On a different note, I have hardly seen RTW makers use fresco/finmeresco/crispaire. Mohair yes, but not fresco.


I've worked there two summers already and visit regularly during the calendar New Year. You guys must be much cooler than I

I remember taking very complicated walks through all the indoor overhead paths in Central to avoid ever stepping out of air conditioning for more than 2 minutes.

When do you intend to wear your 15oz fresco?

A linen fresco! That's a rare breed. As fresco is a trade mark of one company only (and that company, to the limited extent of my knowledge, produced no fresco in linen), so I assume the name of the fabric is a description of the weave of the linen then a fresco-linen blend?

Yes very rare - Yes, the fabric describes the weave of the linen. The original name is in Japanese, so I adapted a name for it
