Is it possible to source Zegna fabric?

[thinman]

I saw the most beautiful Zegna fabric this weekend, a blue with a sort of broken windowpane in cream. It was a linen/wool/silk blend and would make a wonderful jacket, but I don't want to pay bespoke prices for a MTM Zegna jacket. Hence the title question. Alternatively, does anyone know of a similar fabric in any other book (sorry I couldn't find a picture)?

European Textile Group LLC is a jobber in LA with the most Zegna cloth. The west coast Tip Top equivalent. Do not know if they are to the trade only. They do not make many sample books. You could call them, describe the cloth and they may send you samples.
Gladson LTD in NJ is the US Zegna distributor. Gladson's Zegna line does not always have what you may find in Zegna RTW. You could contact Gladson to see who has the books in your area.
If the cloth is in the current line it won't show up at European Textile Group until a season or two from now, if at all.
Google the names for contact info.

Tip Top has Zegna, but on a hit or miss basis. They don't carry the line, they just buy what they can on their (frequent) trips to Europe.

Thank you, gentlemen. I truly wish I'd thought to get a code number, to make my search easier.
