Is it possible to have a linen alergy? I have been wearing two recenlty commissioned linen shirts and they are not as comfortable as cotton. The fabric is from Grandi & Rubinelli Its hard to tell at this remove but what I would suggest is that new linen has a tactile sensation when worn next to the...

Buttons were dark brown and have a mixture of colors that I think compliments the fabric well. It does look great and is extremely comfortable.

Some pictures of the finished jacket. Will try to get someone to take a picture of it on. http://i907.photobucket.com/albums/ac280/rrosals/Untitled-2.jpg http://i907.photobucket.com/albums/ac280/rrosals/DSC00955.jpg http://i907.photobucket.com/albums/ac280/rrosals/DSC00953.jpg http://i907.photobucke...

It feels slightly itchy and I notice more perspiration. I love the look and will continue to wear but I find it more comfortable when it is not extremely hot and humid.

Maybe the issue is that it is not 100% linen. I will give the LL linen shirting a try.

Anyone have experience with Lesser 240 gram (7.5/8 oz) Lumbs Golden Bale? I have some of the old stock tropical which performs great but do not know how it compares to the Golden Bale.

2nd basted fitting. Ready for finishing.

Minnis Rangoon 0124. Pretty much my go to suiting for now but only have 2 lengths left.

First fitting of a DB. Next fitting in 4 weeks.

I have used Tender Buttons and http://www.theliningcompany.co.uk

Both carry horn buttons.

From my understanding sizes are as follows:

23 Ligne = Sleeves and trouser

30 Ligne = Single breasted jacket

35 Ligne = Double breasted jacket

I bought mine at Tender Buttons in NYC. Also saw them at the following website but have never purchased from them: http://www.theliningcompany.co.uk/catal ... Path=34_79

Costi,

The fabric is Minnis Rangoon 0128 and will be made into a single breasted suit much like the one a posted a while back.

My poor photography doesn't help the situation. I think the matte finish goes well with the cloth.

With flash. Still think they are too flashy?

It may be the lighting because they look almost black in real life. I picked this color because thought they were more conservative than dark brown horn. I will try to take another picture.
