Dormeuil Royal 12?

[Kuro]

Anyone have experience with this book/willing to provide comments?

Was able to find the image below, but not sure if these are old swatches and the patterns are now in-line with the rest of the Dormeuil offerings.

Thanks in advance.

I have a suit made up from the Royal 12 book, but it's not recent (4-5 years old, I guess), and the book may have been revamped in the meantime. I haven't looked through it in the last couple of years. The suit I have is surprisingly hard-wearing, made up nicely enough, and has a sturdier feel than you might think just based on the swatches. It does wear fairly warm (I don't wear it in Summer or even late Spring/early Autumn. It isn't showing any signs of wear yet, though my saying that has probably jinxed it now.

The pattern I chose is rather jazzy (purple tramline, of all things), but as your selection shows, they have more conservative options too. Reasonable cloth.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, au say they have a reputation for "jazzy" offering but yet these are sober so it peaked my interest. Will try to get some swatches.

I had 2 suits made up from this book 2 years ago. Beautiful colored stripes is what sold it for me

Lightweight summer cloth at 12oz. Or a heavyweight cloth for those who wear it when its snowing

Hard wearing for a lightweight cloth...first time I commissioned a suit without an extra pair of trousers

My tailor in Athens got it for about 105 euros a meter.

I would recommend it. The ICE flannel book (14-15oz) has gorgeous colored stripes too
