I'm interested to hear some opinions about these fabrics which are all 13oz. Are they pretty similar? Any preference for one over the other? and why?
I've compared some swatches (navy twill) and have found H lesser to have more rich and warm colors but looks a bit softer than SW Botany an Oyster.
SW seems to have the best hand IMHO but colors are a bit mat and cold!

I have read some old posts where some members praised and others disliked H Lesser but all seemed a personal preference rather than anything else!

I've emailed Harissons and they said they are all pretty similar but SW is more popular!


Thanks in advance for any helpful input.

May I suggest you re-post this in the "Unfunded Liabilities" cloth thread? You'll receive a bucket full of answers there (including mine).
