Help Finding Herringbone Sport Coat Cloth?

[thepelicanstyle]

Hey y'all! I'm new to this forum but felt like this community would be one of the best places to ask for help finding a cloth for a sport coat. I'm working with Divij Hemrajani from Divij Bespoke to create a brown and cream herringbone sport coat in the style of the Ralph Lauren RL67 coats and I'm having a hard time finding the perfect cloth. I'm somewhat new to the world of custom tailoring so I might be missing the best places to look for these types of fabrics.







I live in the South so ideally I'd like this to be a mid to lighter weight cloth. The listings on the Ralph Lauren website say it's an Italian Linen and Silk blend (which I think would be a good weight for this jacket) but the best option I've able to find is a Marling & Evans swatch (290g) that is close but not exactly what I'm looking for. I really like the thickness and contrast of the herringbone from Ralph Lauren (see pics below) and I don't think the M&E swatch has as much as I'd like.



Here is a picture of the M&E swatch that appears to be the best option right now and a pic of a coat made up in this cloth -





Thank you so much in advance! I'm happy to finally be in this group!
