Right on, thanks. I know there is a wool tartan, do you know if tartan liners in cotton are about equivalent to cotton drill? I think I'm starting to lean toward that; I love the look, and that might fit the bill for the weight that I'm looking for.
Still completely up in the air about the cuffs. I like the look of the button cuffs, they've got a nice flair to them. I just don't know if I want a narrower wrist, even if I know I can make a sweater work with it. I wear a watch too, so that's a factor I guess. I'm already thinking of the possibility of spec'ing (sp?) button cuffs to give me a fraction if an inch more room. Maybe.
Cotton tartan is quite a bit thinner than cotton drill. I don't think it will be as durable (i have actually worn small holes in mine at the waistline), it does look great though and has an airy feel more similar to a thin cotton T-shirt compared to the tighter drill.
Regarding the cuffs, both my size 40 bootleggers have buttoned cuffs, both made by Julie Leitch, yet they have a different diameter.
The brown one i can put on without any trouble, the black one i need to force my hand through the cuff as it is noticeably tighter. I would assume that asking for "a fraction if an inch more room" would be a total crapshoot.
