No doubt LK is one of the inspirational member in the forum. Absolutely in love with the fabric.

I have a W. Bill camel hair Ulster and am very happy w/ it. They have a fairly comprehensive range of colors / shades.

Harrisons has some lighter shades in a camel hair/wool blend too. But W Bill has quite an extensive collection in varying shades.

There's another lesser known Scottish weaver who weaves overcoat fabrics and I distinctly recall seeing lighter shades in camel colour. Isn't one of those large merchants, but produces very good stuff nonetheless, and there are cards of swatches at quite a number of good English tailors. Reasonably priced too. Name eludes me now, but I'll update when it comes back.
