A few years back a couple of London shirtmakers offered a double cuff shirt of flannel/brushed cotton in a light blue and white gingham pattern.

Can anyone shed light on anyone making such a shirt today? I'd even be open to having several made if anyone knows of a custom/bespoke maker with access to such cloth.

You help will be most appreciated.

Thank you for your suggestion. It could well have been a wool cotton blend. However, it was more cotton than wool, so it was not the traditional Viyella blend. That said, I understand that Viyella now puts its name on other cloths. It's worth a check.

I'll be out of touch for several days. Still, further input will be appreciated.

If you figure it out please let me know. I am also a fan of these type of fabrics. I will also make a couple inquiries myself whilst I am out and about.

Absolutely will do! It makes up into a great looking shirt that would work well with a nice tweed coat.

I have a few cotton and cotton-wool blends, but none with French cuffs.
My guess is that Hilditch and Key or Harvie and Hudson will do them bespoke.
They both offer flannel RTW.
