I have several lengths of cloth for sale that I have decided not to have made up, some of which I am letting go very cheaply.

The following piece is also from the Paul Stuart sample sale. It's a silk/linen/wool (40/35/25%) blend. The fabric is an olive pattern on a beige ground with a beige/gold overcheck. The colors are a little brighter than are pictured in the photo below. 2.75 yards. $60.



The next piece is a jacket-length of linen which I believe is of Irish origin, but I'm not certain. I think it may have some small wool content as it is the smoothest, most wrinkle-resistant linen I have felt. It would make a great spring or summer jacket as it is a tan ground with light brown, brown, light green, and light blue overchecks. The colors in the photo below are reasonably accurate although a little washed out because of the tan background. 2.55 yards. $80.



The next piece is of Italian origin. It's a small beige herringbone with a faint light blue triple overcheck. The selvedge reads "Lessona - Wool and Silk Jacketing - Made in Italy." The color in the photo below is accurate although the herringbone pattern is not visible. 4.1 yards. $70.



The last piece is a length of UK linen in a mid-blue color with subtle flecks of green which would be suitable for a spring or summer jacket. The color in the photo below is just slightly darker than the actual cloth. 2.8 yards. $35.



Please contact me with any questions.

Any idea what the weight of the blue fresco is?
Do you think it's enough material to make a 40 R?

Since the fresco is a solid, I would think it enough for most tailors to make a 40R jacket. The best thing to do is to check with the particular tailor you intend to use. As for the weight, I don't know it outright, but it is certainly quite light. I would estimate it in the 8-9oz range with a very open weave typical of fresco.

Shucks. My tailor prefers 2.5, but could go down to 2.4.

It's pretty lightweight. I'd say in the 8/9oz range.

I think I have a jacket from that same cloth - wears very very well for how light it is.

The blue fresco and one of the Paul Stuart lengths have been sold. I removed them from the original listing.

The Lessona has been sold. All that remains are the three linen or linen blend lengths. No love for the linen here?
