Anybody know where Hamilton sources their cloth from? I checked various posts here to no avail. They cite Swiss and Italian mills.

Comparison to Acorn cloth?

Thanks-

I'm probably going to work with a shop here that uses them; just haven't had a chance to get into details with them. Hamilton has a good reputation far as I know and what I saw in the shop looked nice.
