I came across some 20oz 'Fresco' fabric this afternoon - seriously heavy stuff, and from what I understand Fresco is intended to be a more breathable / summer fabric. Can anyone enlighten me as to what such a heavy Fresco would be used for?

It also is for the texture. At 20 oz, it'd be a fall or winter weight. Who's the maker on the selvedge?
