Hemingway Jones said:I chose a cashmere and wool blend, which is hardly vintage, but luxorious and comfortbale for me.
Wow, Marc! What would I do without you?Marc Chevalier said:Actually, cashmere/wool blends were used in vintage suits as far back as the end of the 1800s. Vicuna blends were also used. At a vintage clothing show, I once saw a shantung silk/linen blend men's 3-piece suit (champagne color) from 1906. Suit fabrics have been made in an array of blends for a long time.

Indeed, Charles dresses well. Always has a tiny tie knot. All that fiddling, no doubt. He also has a habit of checking and rechecking his cuff links. And touching his ears. bk
Thanks, Benny! You're a good man for saying so.Benny Holiday said:Hemingway, my congratulations on a fine purchase and putting together a look that sums up the style of a gentleman for the summer months.
Thanks H!Adam_H said:Nice, Hem.
I have a navy serge just like it which I emblazoned with some antique French military brass buttons.
No classier look for this time of year.
