Spring/summer cloth
Posted: Sun Mar 18, 2012 7:12 pm
Gentlemen,
Perhaps you could help me with the following.
I am ordering a suit to be used mainly in late spring and summer. I hesitate between two very different cloths: a Scabal wool and mohair from their Botany book, 230grms; and a 280 grms super 100, also from Scabal (Classics book, I believe).
In terms of structure and "hand" I prefer the 280grms. However, I do not know if it will be comfortable above say 30ยบ centigrade. It is not a fresco weave and I am afraid it will be too warm in real summer.
I guess my question could be phrased as what are the limits, in terms of temperature, of a 280 grams cloth.
Another (unrelated) question. Does anyone know H&S Snowy River? They have a lovely beige 260 grms which i am thinking about for a summer suit.
Thank you very much for any comments.
