The course of true love never did run smooth...
But I get the appeal -- a rougher end-on-end? Sign me up. I'm a little more plebian, so I'm happy with pinpoint oxford.

Albini has a nice version but it comes in a darker colour then the SG one. However, the last time I was at Piccolo shirting merchant in Naples (where I bought my Albini length a couple of years ago) he was having a finisher dying/washing the Albini Chambray in different shades, and one closely re-assebled the SG colour. Albini is obviously 100% cotton and the fuzzyiness is minimal

Did Carl at CEGO have some nice stuff that's not from SG? I remember him posting something about it at the Unfunded Liabilities thread.

Yes, but I don't think Foo likes the fuzz. What some see as fuzz, others see as pilling ...
From memory, Carl's chambray was a "dressy" chambray, which is what makes it (and S&G) unique among other shirtings.

The SG chambray I have from Will is a little fuzzy. Carl has shown me the chambray that he has and it is more neatly finished. I never saw Foos version in real life but from the pictures it looked different from mine as well. I thought Foo wanted the chambray for the surface texture that I haven't seen in other chambray variants. Only thing that comes close is a wool cotton blend.
