I looked at some books today of lighter weight summer fabrics. I compared Crispaire, Finemeresco, Minnis fresco, Scabal 60% mohair. In the end I opted for the trusty Minnis. The Finemeresco seems very nice and they have offerings that, to me, felt like an in-between between the 8/9oz fresco and the 10oz fresco. The only reason why I went with the fresco is because I liked the shade slightly more.

I signed up for an account, I hope that's what you mean.
Thanks. It seems they don't have anything like that right now but the custom ordering sounds interesting.

Would anybody else also be interested in buying some meters of a fabric similar to this? I would also go with different colors, let's say olive green and grey.

Just got an email from Huddersfield Cloth.

This is pretty close no?

If you are slim and well dressed. Think of what it looks like if you are out of shape and dressed like a slob....

 

[patrickBOOTH]

Oh, in that case, no way. They are disgusting.

Nah, too bright and the width of the stripes isn't even close.

I suspect you'll deserve the fabric you end up with.

Marton Mills is another one for blazer or regatta stripes as they're called.

Ah takes me back ... this is pretty close to my old school uniform: invert the stripe widths and you're there. Our blazers weren't super-cool 6x3 DBs of course, but I did smoke gauloises for a time as a schoolboy.
