Some terrific cloths for sale, I hate to oversell but some of these fabrics are really special and would make incredible garments. The two top fabrics are lighter in this pic then reality, this is the back side of the fabric, see below.
From bottom to top:
1. William Halstead navy serge super 100's wool, 10oz. This is a bit hard to photograph, its not a "normal" navy, its a really beautiful cloth, soft but sturdy, really luxurious hand. (SOLD)
2. Zegna wool/silk/cashmere brown herringbone tweed, 290 grams. The fabric is two sided, i think the lighter side would make better sportcoat but you can use either side. 3.75 yds, $175 (SOLD)
3. Porter and Harding Glorious Twelfth,pretty sure this is number 25508. 11oz, I have 5 yds, would sell for $300 or $70 a yard for less. (SOLD)
4. Zegna tobacco brown linen/wool/silk, 190 grams. This is perfect for a spring/summer suit. 4 3/4 yard piece for $200 or $70/yard for less. (SOLD)
5. Lovat Mills, grey PoW with light blue overcheck "Brisa". 13oz. I thought this was from the Bard book but was told it was a special order. Its a loose/open weave cloth like a fresco. It has terrific wrinkle resistance, would make a magnificent "travel" suit or a great three piece. My pictures do not do it justice, its really a great cloth. $60/yd

6. Another great cloth, brown High Twist 15/16 oz cloth. This is milled in England by Bower Roebuck, who mill for Scabal. This shade is a chocolate brown melange, again, would make an absolutely terrific suit in any configuration. $60 yard
8. And here we go again, another terrific cloth, Zegna light brown/ dark oatmeal flannel, 290 grams, 100% wool. This is soft/luxurious, feels like a cashmere blend. Really beautiful. $60/yd
9. I am a sportcoat guy so this is my favorite fabric in the lot. a 10/11oz Carlo Barbera wool/linen/silk/cashmere blend. Fabric has the appearance of raw silk, but feels like silk/cashmere. Its a gorgeous brown and would make an incredible sportcoat. (SOLD)$70/yd
