2014 S/S Brown and Burgundy

Excellent new lightweight cloths perfect for Spring/Summer and overall all year use.  These fabrics will be re-stockable for the near future, but will not be permanent additions so any interest in these I recommend "sooner than later" to place an order.

These 100% wools are from New Zealand, all have excellent hand and drape to them.

Off the beaten path colors for those looking for something different to expand his wardrobe.

79000-21 Teak Brown.  Really nice shade of brown, not too "red", has a nice vintage vibe to the color.  This is the brown color I would want to wear if I were looking for a brown suit!

79115-7 Burgundy.  For the truly rakish dresser, great shade of burgundy to really turn heads.  Faint of heart need not apply! This fabric is woven like a tonic/sharkskin with 2 different color threads to make the burgundy color.  Has a slight sheen, but it is not what I would classify as shiny.  Excellent shade for burgundy, it has more "blue" in it so it does not come off like a red suit.  A fantastic color when worn with a cordovan #8 shoe!  Probably my favorite new cloth of this series~!

18308-2 Med Grey Houndstooth.  Very nice small scale houndstooth pattern in a med grey shade.  The tooth pattern is very small (about 1/16" wide on each "tooth") so it appears solid grey from a short distance but up close you can definitely see the pattern.  Stylish and subtle.

79115-2 Light Grey.  Woven in a similar style to sharkskin (2 different color threads make 1 color) but this is NOT a shiny cloth.  It has a slight sheen but I would not say it has any shine to it.  Great shade of light grey, it has a sophisticated look that easily stands out against other light greys.

180100-4 Med Grey. Classic Medium grey color.  As per all other cloths in this series, very nice hand and a sophisticated look to the cloth.  Lately there has been a bigger push toward medium grey over charcoal, and this one will definitely fit the bill.

79000-06 Dark Grey.  A true dark grey cloth, can be called a classic charcoal grey.  Perfect for those who want a dark grey suit but not as dark as the "Dark Charcoal" in this same series.  Great choice for a first "interview" suit.  Easy to dress down as well.

79115-12 Dark Charcoal.  For those who want a more formal looking cloth that is very dark, yet not black, this is perfect.  Very dark charcoal, could pass for black, but next to black it is definitely a very dark grey.  Excellent for an all purpose conservative "first suit" where something close to black is desired.

New 2014 S/S Navy

The thread gauge is Super150 for these.

SOLD OUT 79115-10 Classic Dark Navy.  This is an excellent choice for any work/interview suit for those that want a classic navy in a darker shade, not as "blue", therefore imo works very nicely as a social wear suit as well

SOLD OUT 180100-6 Classic Blue Navy.  Compared to the "Classic Dark Navy" this color has more magenta in it making it appear bluer/purple-ish.  (NOT that it is purple!!)  This is what many would see in their head as a classic navy suit color

18306-5 Midnight Navy.  Very dark navy color, could almost pass for black or a dark charcoal.  But it is a navy so has a clearly visible blue-ish tint when next to actual black.

79115-9 Airforce Blue.   Fantastic unique shade!  Similar in color and shade to the VBC 124, but this fabric is more "blue" whereas the VBC 124 was an even mix of grey/blue.  Perfectly suited to most work environments, and definitely a head turner as a social event suit cloth.  Easily one of my favorites in the new batch of fabrics.
