A new LL Flannel is exciting. I'll be interested to learn more about it and how it compared with the wonderful, previous LL Flannels.

Does anyone have good suggestions for Rome? I had one shirtmaker there but they folded, so I'm looking for another.

I always learn something from your posts. "Used Bentley salesmen " is perfect. I assume they have some people who have deeper knowledge and some who do fine work, but it was not the focus certainly.

Dr T:

ay329, I have one pair of odd trousers in lightweight mohair blend. They are wonderful for summer, very light yet crisp. I have two suits with 30% mohair blend, and they have great structure for relatively lightweight fabrics (8 oz. and 11/12 oz.). In general, my preference is for heavier fabric, bu...

Dr. T, I prefer heavier cloth too. What bunches do you prefer for heavier mohair blends?
