Dear all,
Can anyone recommend the above? I have heard varying remarks, but my main concern is durability. I live in a climate where even winters are quite warm, so weight is not an issue in that regard.
Kind regards,
Bird

I think everyone here hates loro cloth.
Me, I don't know much about it.
I have one or maybe two coats from loro.
Cloth is a little bit flimsy but hanging in there.
I guess folks here would say you could do much better than loro.
Italy doesn't get much love on the cloth side.
Best to look at English cloth in the weight you need for your climate.

Once I paid a small fortune for a pair of rtw trousers in Loro cloth from Hackett. They were destroyed within 6 wears. Worn through on the crotch. Never again.

Lightweight flannel is an iffy proposition. If you do not wear trousers too hard you might get a bit of wear from them but they are fragile....even good English flannel. Stay above 14 ozs in flannel if you can.
Real Loro Piano cloth is not up to standard and it costs a fortune in Italy.
Fox Bros has some nice lighter flannels, I would look there.
Cheers
