100% Silk cloth sample!

This is the first sample of a pure 100% silk cloth woven a French Blue color.  The sampling for this cloth is still underway, but as a first sampling, the result was far better than I expected.  The cloth is pure silk, so has a slight sheen similar to sharkskin, but it is not "shiny" in the way you would think pure silk cloth to be.  The cloth is smooth but has some textural hand to it.  The best thing about this cloth is that I will be able to control the color, so any popular colors that sell out can be restocked in this material (such as Petrol Blue).  This first batch was done to a French "cornflower" blue, definitely not a workplace suit, but for those looking for something unique this is definitely going to fit the bill.  The cloth is very lightweight and has a fantastic drape to it.  You can even smell the pure silk fibre which has its own distinct scent.  While not as wrinkly as linen, it is def a "needs some care" cloth and I would recommend a good steaming out to de-wrinkle the cloth every couple wears. Tho after a night of dancing to 60s R'nB and rockabilly, it def roadtested well and I didnt look as disheveled as I thought I might have afterwards.  This cloth is still in sampling process to tighten the weave and sort out any inconsistencies, but keep an eye out in very near future for some offereings in this cloth. Price is still a bit TBD but will be in line with my pricing point.

Fall/Winter news

Some new tidbits coming for this fall/winter:

-Addition of new tweeds starting first week of september
-later in the season hopefully will add a chesterfield/crombie style overcoat to our selection
-new cloths for our suits, including pure cashmere suiting cloths and 100% silk cloths.  Both will be custom designed by Thick as Thieves for color and patterns, so this should be a good way to keep popular colors and check patterns in stock as the fabric will be made exclusively for me so there won't be an issue of restock availability! More info to come as samples are made and approved...!!!
