COLORS

I believe the LONG TRENCH COAT and the TUXEDO jacket will be reordered for next Late Fall. What colors in the trench would you like to see returned and what new colors added. For the tuxedo what new colors would you buy? Remember it can not be done in IVORY or WHITE, and the satin must always be BLACK.

    I would love to see the trench return in Perfectly Pink and also return the whisper knit pencil skirt in the short version to go with it. Also the long trench in Butter. Thanks

  3. Sara

    Hi Louis, just got two of the new faux suede jackets and managed to get the butter creme pants. Would love to see the tuxedo jacket in perfectly pink with matching
    skirt and pants. Thank you!

    Trench, NAVY,PINK, KHAKI, ALL SOLID AND BLACK REORDER, ORANGE
    TUXEDO, FUSHIA PINK, SCARLET RED,EMERALD GREEN, SILVER GREY! YOU ARE THE BEST!

  5. BUSTERS_BREW

    Hello.
    For the tuxedo jacket, can they do a pinstripe, not too thin? Perhaps a red(blue red), fuchsia, or bright blue(think water color around Greece) in solid?
    In the trench coat can we get a bold Kelly green or orange so we can wear them year ’round?
    In any event, saturate the colors, please.
    Thank you for asking! 🙂

  6. Pamela

    P.s. or what about a black sequined tuxedo jacket/ satin lapels to go with the pants, then satin pants or satin side stripe? Ok. I’m done. Thank you.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      That all sounds great Pamela, but they are all new items and the buyers would never invest in two tuxedo jackets especially where a well done sequin one would be much more expensive…..Maybe when the Tuxedo sells out!

  7. Pamela

    For me …the tuxedo jacket in espresso AND charcoal with sequined pants in the same would be fabulous. Don’t wear navy as much as I always think I will, except spring/summer with white. Here in the sunny south,can’t wear jackets much in spring and summer. I missed the scarlet trench ,so that in petite suits me. You’re the best. Looking forward to wed. And new BD

  8. luvitorleaveit

    That’s wonderful news Louis!! I didn’t order the longer trench but I am so pleased with the shorter original version in the black and olive (my neutrals). Now that tuxedo is fabulous I didn’t think it was coming back so I brought two in two different sizes! Ivory would have be gorgeous especially with the sequin pants but if I had to choose a color it would be navy because your navy is out of this world gorgeous!

  9. Grace

    Thanks for asking us, Louis. British Tan (or deeper) & Linea Navy in long trench; Linea Navy in tuxedo jacket. (Sequin pants in Linea navy would be TDF).

  10. Carolyn

    Tuxedo – navy with matching pant and secondary pant offering in black satin to match lapel.

  11. Joanna

    Tuxedo Jacket in Navy or a royal blue, Trench in Navy!

  12. Patricia in Chicago

    Tuxedo Jacket in Espresso Brown with self colored lapels, Your Deep Navy w/SCL, Copper/Caramel W/SCL, Aubergine W/SCL

  13. Sheesh

    Well, I’m voting for a Perfectly Pink Trench (or Winter White, Alabaster or Sapphire). I don’t know the limitations on the Tuxedo fabric, but can you do a Black pin Stripe or a tone on tone stripe tuxedo jacket? If not, then a Sapphire Tuxedo jacket. Thanks, Louis.

    Sheila

  14. Terrie in NM

    I wore your tuxedo jacket for my daughter’s bridal welcome dinner–received so many compliments. I felt chic, in vogue and incredibly comfortable the entire evening. I do love your style—timeless!!!

    Navy,charcoal and/or aubergine would be lovely.

  15. Laurienda

    I would like the trench in aubergine, sapphire or scarlet. I was living overseas and missed out on your long trenches and tuxedo jackets so I’m happy to hear I might still be able to get these treasures. Please be sure to make some in cool colors.

  16. Cathy in PA

    What a nice surprise to think on, and thank you for asking, Louis!

    Trench: Well, the long one is a bit too long for me so I’ll let the other ladies dictate this one 🙂

    Tuxedo Jacket, which I adore: Blue, maybe a deep sapphire to be worn with this year’s embroidered skirt? Usually I’d prefer Navy, but a dark sapphire might show off the black collar better? And/Or: One of your “burgundy reds” such as Port or Aubergine. Or: Cranberry deep red OR: Silvery Grey especially if there could be silvery grey sequin pants … OOOH that would be divine!

  17. Chris S.

    I would love a grey or navy trench!

    Thanks!

  18. Jackie

    Medium, rich grey or a charcoal tone if if is not too dark as too resemble black. I have enough black.
    Navy

  19. Shay

    Hello again, Louis!
    The whisper knit color I was trying to recall earlier is charcoal grey. I would like to vote for that for the trench. I don’t think it is weathered either.Thanks for giving me a chance to vote! Shay

  20. Joanne C

    Hi Louis
    Sorry I misread. If you do another color for Tuxedo jacket – my choice Emerald Green, Sapphire Blue, or Charcoal Grey!

  21. Joanne C

    Hi Louis
    I love your black tuxedo jacket. I have worn it with Linea black sequin as well as Linea black suit pants many times.When you are not sure how dressy an occasion will be, the tuxedo jacket/pants fill the bill beautifully. If you do another color of tuxedo jacket, I would choose ivory or alabaster. I have pants from your Linea collection in both of those colors. I would love a tuxedo jacket in ivory or alabaster. What a great classy dressy outfit even in spring and summer.

    I own several of your shorter trench coats in the two tone as well as faux suede. They are so classy. As I am only 5’3″ the shorter version is more or less full length for me. Your longer trench is just too long so I will not be purchasing. So I best not weigh in.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Joanne, as I explained in my request for color ideas, neither the trench or the tuxedo can be done in ivory or white as these styles were never priced for those colors.

  22. Elaine

    Hi Louis,
    I have that wonderful light-weight trench that you did years ago in the purple and black combination.
    I wear it in the Springtime, almost could have put it on today with the temperature in NYC.
    It’s A77886 and can still be viewed online.
    It’s time to so some Linea shopping!
    Looking forward to next week’s shows.
    Elaine

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Ah yes Elaine….the Zebra trench! It will never go out of style, and I would venture to say it’s more in style now then when I did it

  23. Karen in WA

    I’d love the trench in Navy and Red. I’ve been wondering if you thought of making pants from the same fabric. I know stretch and elastic band pants sell the best, but I have the camel trench and jacket and I keep thinking the same fabric pants would be better. ( I have the ponte) That fabric is very nice for the price. I have been wearing it a lot lately and no wear or pilling, so it is lasting better than I thought.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Karen, when the tuxedo jacket first came out there was a matching pant in black, but it didn’t do well enough to be reordered. If a pant isn’t in a stretch knit the chance of it doing well and reordering are slim.

  24. Rosemary

    Tuxedo in an ivory / cream color. Trench in a pastel

  25. Rose

    Tuxedo in ivory / cream color, trench in a pastel

  26. Barbara in Virginia

    Dark Forest Green, Dark Forest green, Dark Forest Green for the trench! Did I mention Dark Forest Green? LOL!

  27. April

    Deep navy for both, please.

  28. Pratt

    Ah I understand that the unusual colors won’t sell well. But may be the Light blue is a good neutral and will be liked by many. Light pink/blush and mustard may be hard to sell, I know! But can you please try to introduce one new light color? Thanks for asking 😊

  29. Nancy

    I would love darkest midnight blue in both coat and jacket. A classic dark beige would work for me better than ivory in the trench, but I trust your judgment Louis!

  30. makp

    Would like a grey tuxedo jacket, especially if you are able to bring us a grey sequined pant (similar to the grey sequin skirt that you did years ago).

  31. Shay

    Good morning, Louis!
    I would love a dark heather gray in the trench coat;you have a color in whisper knit that is on point with the color I am trying to describe. It is caught between black and gray, and it is so elegant. As for the trench coat, I was a vintage shopper as a teenager, and I had the most fabulous black brocade tuxedo/smoking jacket. I still think of that jacket and wish that chic piece was still hanging in my closet alongside yours, which I absolutely love. All the best, to you Louis!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Sorry Shay…..can’t do heather colors in this fabric

  32. Diane Shellenhamer

    This is great news !!! love the tux jacket. And trench is a classic.
    Any chance of getting the sequins back too ? Pants or jacket ? I missed buying them.

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Dear Diane….funny you should ask….I asked the same thing too….It seems, since the pant wasn’t reordered last year for some unexplained reason the planners [they are the ones who decide what should be reordered, not the buyers] “KILLED” the style number. In order to bring the same pant back it has to be given a new style number. Usually when a killed style is brought back it is supposed to be changed a little, but I refused to. Why mess with perfection…..So to answer your question…..Yes, the exact sequin pant, as of now is returning, but with a new style number. So far Black only, but I’m working on them.

  33. Susan (aka CarlyTwila)

    Hi Louis! Here’s my input…thanks for asking!
    Trench: navy and dark olive
    Tuxedo: navy and one of your deep reds (aubergine, port or wine are all great!)
    Susan

  34. Enjay

    Two of my favorite pieces! I would love the long trench in a classic khaki. Also, I missed the black (how did that happen!?). So fingers crossed that comes back. Tuxedo jacket in a steely grey. I bought two in the black, because it’s perfect!

  35. LeefromMinnesota

    How about the tuxedo jacket in a medium brown with the black lapels? It’s one of my favorite color combos. Thanks for asking!

  36. Pratt

    Trench – one or all of these 😊 – pale blue (baby blue kind of), peachy pink, mustard .. would love some lighter colors this time! I own all the colors of all your trench coat versions, except black haha.

    Tuxedo – emerald green

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Tough colors to sell Pratt. I don’t think many women would buy a long trench coat in these colors though they would be very pretty….they would be very boutique where they only buy a very limited amount of coats.

  37. Pam

    Louis, I wish I had your leopard or zebra coats! I love my faux suede trench from this year. Your clothes are timeless! I still wear your shantung military style suits. They must be about 15 years old, and still look fresh and modern. Love your work!

  38. Marta

    Tuxedo jacket in Aubergine with the black satin lapels would be spectacular.

  39. Melanie

    I would love to see the trench in dark navy in the petite length. Happy New Year!

  40. CGee

    Trench in aubergine, navy or espresso please. Second choices are khaki or moss. I like your trench coats best when they are one color, without contrasting trim.

  41. Becky T from Tn

    Louis,
    I have silver hair and blue eyes so my vote is sapphire for the tuxedo jacket. I also love the thought of aubergine. I am sure I will love whatever you decide upon!

  42. Carol

    For the tuxedo, I would like a midnight blue or a silver gray. I have some silver sequin pants I’d love to pair with a tuxedo jacket. For the trench, I would like sapphire, taupe, or dark forest green.

  43. Pam

    Any possibility of a leopard print trench? I would love a navy tux jacket!

    1. Louis Dell'Olio

      Pam, I did one years ago and a Zebra print trench. I’m sure some of the ladies still have them. They are just as in fashion today as the day I did them

  44. Ruth Lassiter

    I would like the trench in classic khaki.
    I would like the tuxedo jacket in gray. I think what I have in mind is actually sharkskin so could you materialize that in this tuxedo jacket?
    Ruth

  45. Fairfax

    Both in navy and dark forest green.

  46. Chris/Jazzmom

    How about for the tuxedo jacket use a nice dark gray color or what you used to have in WK — aubergine?
    Navy trench would be lovely or the loden color. For reorder color — black.

    Chris

    Louis

    I forgot to add to my comments that I would like to see the caramel long trench coat reordered as I could only purchase one when they were first offered and I chose the beautiful red.

    Thanks so much for asking!

    Beth

  48. Beth

    Louis,

    I would love a Linea Navy trench coat. A scarlet red Tuxedo jacket would be beautiful.

    So glad to hear these items will be reordered!

    Beth

  49. Susan B

    Navy for the tuxedo jacket with matching slacks. Love it.

  50. Seka

    Louis, That’s great news!

    Is it also a ‘No’ for the Trench in Ivory? If not, would love it in Alabaster or Ivory.
    And Dark Olive, Light Khaki.

    The Tuxedo Jacket would have been spectacular in Ivory! Would love it in your Red. I have your long Trench in Red – never thought I would buy a Red Trench (I purchased all 3 colours) – it’s fabulous.
    Seka.

  51. Sallie

    Happy New Year, Louis.

    I think sapphire blue in both the trench and the tuxedo jacket would be striking.
