I like the herringbone Sherry Tweed. Third picture is the Sherry Tweed against the charcoaliest of charcoal-grey flannel pants.

Loro Piana 10.5oz wool/cashmere flannel. I do not know if this fabric has a name; the fabric has what seems to be white thread running through the fabric, very nice for a pair of trousers I think.

Holland & Sherry 11oz grey flannels.

Some very nice cloth you've posted those Colombo cashmere looks very sumptuous.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but can anyone weigh in on the merits of different weights of flannels? I'm looking at getting a MTM Samuelsohn/JP Tilford flannel suit, but almost all of the flannels they have (including those Dormeuil ice fabrics) are in the 11oz range. My understanding was that a significantly heavier flannel, like the 13/14+oz flannels made by Fox, is more desirable for durability, drape, and warmth (I am in Canada, after all, but naturally most of my time is spent indoors in the winter, so maybe warmth isn't that important).

Would it be a bad decision to get a suit made of 11oz flannel?

Dormeuil ICE 12 ounce flannel...these 12oz flannels are wonderful for winter with navy cashmere blazers.

I'm not familiar with the Dormeuil ICE flannel, but from personal experience, I would strongly suggest that people stay away from flannels lighter than 14oz.

The Dormeuil Ice is great!

May I ask why? All my flannel pants (Ariston, Dormeuil, Holland & Sherry) are 11 ounce - 12 ounce and they seem to wear wonderfully, feel substantial (to me) and I am able to wear them from late-September to early-April. I do not own any 14+ ounce flannel pants so I do not know what I am missing Pictured 12 ounce ICE, a little lighter than medium grey flannel.

The Dormeuil Ice is great!

I have also heard great things about it from flannel aficionados..
