I bought a trouser length (1.5 yards) of fantastic Woodhouse covert twill last year but because I found some nice pairs RTW, I never had it made up. Rather than have it languish for another year, I'd like to put the money towards something else. My change of heart is your gain. Color is probably closest to the first picture. Hard to capture, but a versatile shade. This material is phenomenal. SOLD

If it's the one I'm thinking of, this is very nice cloth.

FYI, I am fairly certain this is the same type of material (different shade) used by mafoofan in the Ambrosi trousers he detailed in his blog and on SF.

Hey there What could 1.5 yards produce? I have 38 inch waist, 34 inch inseam, 12 inch rise and I like cuffs. We have a deal if your material can make my slacks.

I would check with whoever makes trousers for you. I have a smaller waist and inseam than you so can't be sure. I'm a 32" waist and 31" inseam and like 2" cuffs.

It probably is as I have a pair from Ambrosi in this same cloth. I know because I am wearing them today and just checked the selvedge in the pocket.
