Does your cat need a new bed-liner? I hope Foo didn't pay for that cloth!

You're not getting the moonbeam in a suit too? Pleated pants with the corduroy suit.

Nope. Not now. I'll see how a like it and if need order some more from that bolt that Fall. I actually just made a new thread about the corduroy trousers, but thanks for responding.

What, don't like? I think it's beautiful--just don't know if I want to turn it into a jacket.

Mafoo, if you don't mind me asking how much was the fabric per meter/yard and where did you purchase it from? I think the fabric is great, has the qualities I love about Iammatt's huntsman brown/red/purple/green tweed.

I got it from the London Lounge; 75 pounds per meter.

Some more. Several are now 'funded' liabilities.

Worsted flannel, 12oz mid-grey with light-grey windowpane, unknown English mill

Tweed... 16oz black/grey herringbone with a electric-blue/pale-blue windowpane, unknown English mill

Worsted, 11oz narrow navy herringbone, I believe this is a Woodhouse fabric

Mid-heavyweight linen, 12oz dark blue, JG Hardy

Tweed, 14oz S&P 'Donegal', unknown English mill

Once they become funded liabilities, they should be posted in the Jacket Appreciation thread.

Undecided if I should go for a suit with an extra pair of pants, a 3 piece, or a DB suit with that fabric.

IMHO, suit with extra trouser as I feel that with 3 pc or DB you would literally be covered in check

Foo, good choice. I have the same cloth (not yet made int o a jacket) and it looks different every time I examine it. Light can make a big difference with this cloth. I assume yours will be a "one button two patch breast welt" again? I would love to see a comparison of our two jackets when they are ready as they might turn out quite differently.

If the Alsport needs to go, shoot me a PM.

I too think it's beautiful ... I'd certainly wear it ... but only you know whether it's right for you.

Of course ... if you don't turn it into a jacket ... or sell it ... you could do what I sometimes do ...

I started using a new tailor. The first commission went well, so I plan on trying some more with the following at some point. Crappy pictures.

Taylor and Lodge for fall.

Loro Piana for spring.

13 oz. sharksin of unknown English origin. Super 100s with 5% cashmere.

Super 100s wool and cashere for Drapers. Midweight.

Both are 14 oz. Minnis flannel.
