how light can it get?

I saw a book today which revealed that Loro Piana is offering 5 oz suitings, called the “Lightest,” in what essentially I’m guessing is its wool and silk weave known in its other suitings by the name the “Wave.” Jeeves would blackout at the sight. :shock:

That would make an excellent bridal veil.

The next lightweight Italian offering will be weightless, transparent and called "Pure-air." It will be very expensive though..

Undoubtedly aimed at the most exclusive market, that of emperors.

Excellent choice, sir. You should get days and days of faithful service from it.

Do you think it can take the punching of a needle, or you don't tailor it?
