That's my impression too. As I mentioned earlier I now have two 5-yarders from Rocky, one medium & one heavy, and I like them both though my overall preference is for the heavyweight fabric. The heavyweight, in Douglas Grey, arrived last Monday, and I wore it for the first time at dinner Saturday evening following a day of martial-art training at a weekend training camp in the Marin Headlands. Here I am wearing it, at the restaurant with my buyu ("martial friends"):
