Thank you for the pics.

Michael, Thank you for the warm welcome. It's interesting that you should mention Lapo as there are a few examples of him in Solaro online: http://chieffashionofficer.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/lapo-elkann-pocket-square.jpg http://images.rdujour.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/lapobbingamvallisspfwa...

Well, maybe it is a suit, not just a sports jacket on this commuter. Trousers do seem much lighter in color. I believe it is a suit as the shadow stripe pattern is consistent across both jacket and pants. I imagine it's the lighting that's causing the difference in colour. I look forward to see you...

these threads show swatches of solaro, search will yield a bunch of different threads that discuss solaro. I have no experience with it myself. The third thread has a solaro made up as a suit from Caraceni Roma. http://www.thelondonlounge.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5702&p=12145&hilit=smith+solar...

Gents - I've seen the Smith's Solaro cloth mentioned in a couple of threads but was wondering if anyone had had more recent experience with it and perhaps some examples to show?

Thanks in advance.
