"Norwegian canvas". Never heard of it before, and oddly, googling it only appears to get hits if combined with "Cabourn" :)

Wonder what miracle material this is?

Coggles have just posted some new Cabourn arrivals - great white and Navy Cameraman and love the Crazy cricket waistcoat. Just a pity they never go smaller than a 48.

The Spurs Cameraman will please Simon at Basilica Duo - He's a big Spurs and Cabourn fan

Trunk Clothiers in London should be the next to go live with their Cabourn SS13. They seem to have done really well with their first Cabourn offering so hopefully they will get some great pieces in.

Had the same puzzle when the AW11 Nigel Cabourn unlined Tenzing was described as being made in 'Turner Cotton Canvas' - still don't know what that is or who Turner is!!!

Does anyone know?

I can see that in my future (once it comes up on Marrkt at a massive discount, natch). I have this one from the previous season (which to my eyes is even cooler!):

Certainly makes for a jazzy combo
