Buying Suiting Fabric

[Bob Badger]

Does anybody know where I can buy some quality suit lengths (H&S, J&J Minnis, Zegna etc) either on the internet or bricks & mortar shop? I live in the UK fairly close to the mills that produce these cloths, does any of them have a factory shop attached?

I've found some lengths available on ebay, but am unable to acertain what quality they might be.

Thanks in advance

They're not cheap but the quality is top-notch imo.

You can buy H&S direct and the prices are better than Minnis (though some of the Minnis cloth is better than the H&S alternatives the differences are for the expert).

The Beazley's email (the name of the H&S enterprise that deals with consumers) is no longer on the H&S site but I believe if you email the info@ address that's there you will get a response from Werner Topel who handles direct sales. He's great about sending swatches.

I don't have the addie where I am but I know I've posted that email in the past and it may turn up on a search.
