Thanks for the heads up. I wonder this is the same stuff. I have two suits from the heavier weight Fox flannel and it's great. I also have some heavier flannel from Minnis as odd trousers.
The trouble is our winter here in Sydney doesn't get that cold, I hardly have a chance to wear the heavier flannels.
I do like the mottle effect of the light weight flannel. I was told by Fox to achieved the look they used a woollen warp and worsted weft. To my untrained eye the cloth is not too flimsy at all. I am going make a pair of trousers from it and make report back on the wear at a later date.
tchoy,
I've had a few suits made from the lightweight Fox flannels, and I frankly wouldn't recommend the cloth for odd trousers. Too flimsy, w/o much body, and prone to pilling. Fox makes a fantastic 16oz. mid-gtrey flannel (for the same price as the lighter stuff), which is much better suited for odd trousers.
