My impression from the manyphotos in your blog that you favored naturalshoulders.rogerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17613568018961903756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593388140454867428.post-12521456647471703392008-05-07T11:27:00.000-07:002008-05-07T11:27:00.000-07:002008-05-07T11:27:00.000-07:00Thanks for your input, Will.

I have become obessed with finding an affordable pair to wear this summer. I found AE's Ramsey model at STP for $200. They have linen insets.

(Not that I had a problem with the other picture I just agree they look better here)But at least the CPW or Cost Per Wear is going down. I am also noticing the pockets on your jacket. I am still trying to get a feel for what I like in terms of the breast pocket as it relates to the other Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03961930732125748800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4593388140454867428.post-70981939904906069712008-05-06T05:48:00.000-07:002008-05-06T05:48:00.000-07:002008-05-06T05:48:00.000-07:00I think your use of the EGs is quite spectacular, ...I think your use of the EGs is quite spectacular, Will.

May I ask what you think of silk as a summer suit fabric?
