Best Summer Books
Looking for recommendations for suiting/jacketing cloth books.
Ideally seersuckers, bold checks and gunclubs but anything thats caught your eye.
Rocking traditional, current and classic Italian Ivy since 2011.

Cheers Mhalat will check that out.
I'm really liking some of the cloths in HFW Portofino books. Some great patterns for warm days/evenings.

Re: Best Summer Books
Although i like British woolens, they really do poorly with light weight, breathable summer fabrics. Better off with something from Italy. I notice Ariston always has interesting stuff as do Zegna and Loro Piana.

Buggy lining in the same blue. A bit of canvas in the chest. Thought it might be a bit "floppy" without and the guys in the store agreed. Quite fancied having a two button cuff but thats not an option with the MTM programme. Its 3 or 4. Thought that was a bit strange given the number of options on everything else.

Re: Best Summer Books
A buggy lining? What's that?
I wouldve done bright orange but then, you know that's me.

Re: Best Summer Books
Buggy lining is a half lining. Maybe thats just a British term, cause the guys in the store asked the same thing.
Bright orange...yeah, why not. I'd sort of got it in my mind to match the windowpane. The blues are a spot on match. If I'd have gone contast orange would be a great choice.
