I am praying this goes through.
I am confident that we will not let the opportunity for an ultimate summer blazer and/or suit in dark navy pass us by. Although I am equally fond of bright navy, dark is the both the most versatile and difficult to find in summer-weight.

Re: Special: Dark Navy (Midnight) Blue Piuma

A beautiful rich hue which doesn't exist in any of the standard lightweight fabric books. A hot and humid start to October has stressed the urgency of stockpiling more Piuma while we have the chance. I will be very grumpy if I have to suffer the indignity of fresco again. Decent hand but very scratc...

Re: Tropical business suit colors

With the exception of a business dinner, dark suiting seems hors contexte. A light grey fresco should hit the spot. Too light a blue can appear fashion forward. I personally find that blues don't look as rich in lighter fabrics, especially the brighter hues. A classic khaki suit in a smart cut (not ...

I came across a fairly nice dinner jacket (double-breasted) with no buttonholes. As I'd like to wear a boutonniere, would you recommend I have one (or two) holes added? I hope this would be a relatively simple procedure, but I'd hate to see any harm done to a nice jacket...

This Kilgour list is the only time I have seen the "tautz lapel," and I am quite curious about what this is. Is there anyone who knows? Tautz lapel??
