^ I figured. I also feel the need to push this again. There have to be 7 other guys who want to see it get made. It came so close the first time around and would be amazeballs.
I just did a zegna in a cloth that is almost identical to that one otherwise I would be all about it

Only 4 votes for the Russell plaid makes me sad.

Here's the link to the survey. The one that unbel posted doesn't seem to be working.

Mr. Six, what's the status of your survey?

Right now it looks like from this batch, the moonbeams, gun club, and donegal are the favorites. If we added two from your foursome to round out the finalists, which would they be?

The green donegal was the clear winner. I'd say the P&H blue/brown/burgundy check was the preferred second choice. It had one fewer first place vote than the glenplaid but more second and third place votes and a higher average ranking.

Of the donegals, W. Bill 34591 got the most votes. If you have swatches available to view, though, it might be good for you to make some suggestions.

Cool thanks - My donegal swatch collection is actually not that great. I have a pic of the Caccioppoli green donegal I used for my jacket, but I don't think they have any left. If we have enough orders for a whole roll though, they might be able to remake it:

1000


34591 is a nice one too though.

Making inquiries into which fabrics are available before narrowing down...the Sherry Tweed donegal is no longer available but I am optimistic about the others. Once I find out for sure I'll set up a poll of finalists.

I like all 3 of those moonbeam selections...

what are their weights?

navy herringbone I think is my favorite...but I could go for any of them...

Well I already ordered mine, it's the one in the picture waiting for a fitting this week (hence the DLJr special).

But I would do the other windowpane as well. I like the thicker, bolder windowpane, especially on Navy. But don't feel like you oh me.
