Check under the English Mohair section (on Dugdale's site). I could absolutely be mistaken, but I believe they've consolidated their mohairs under that banner.

Thanks mate. Thnk I've found it here. I'm leaning towards the NFW, just need to find out about these VBCs. I just want to order!

@luxire @LuxireStudio The people demand 4-ply VBCs!

But seriously chances are good that it's this stuff used by the Armoury recently:
https://thearmoury.com/products/ring-jacket-4-ply-tropical-wool-core-184-suit
http://thearmoury.tumblr.com/post/124494641100/ring-jacket-in-vbc-4-ply-tropical-one-of-our

Which is good enough for me!

Adding the 4-ply Tropical VBC options to the site in a couple of days.

Looking at the images and description, probably we are talking of the same fabric.

Will work on finding a good solution. It is a must.

Currently working on the customization features. Nearing completion. Hoping to go live in 2 weeks.

Hah. I was joking but thank you for responding. Will this be a limited stock or do you anticipate offering this permanently now?

Can you tell me if it runs cooler than the dugdales, and what is cooler between the dugdale fine worsted and cape breeze?

Cape Breeze is really cool wearing. The light weight and Mohair content place them in a different league.

Among the tropical wool options, I currently feel, with limited wear, that these VBC ones are quite similar to the Frescos. Had written a comparison of the Fresco/New Fine Worsted/Crispaire/Finmeresco here.

Fantastic, can you confirm if there will be a Navy and a Brown. Really need to order some summer trousers ASAP.

@Foxhound Not sure if this is the same VBC tropical wool we're talking about but I'm wearing this in 38degrees Melbourne heat, wears pretty cool when there's a breeze.

Damn, that looks like it will do the trick. Here's hoping it's also available in brown!

No brown currently. We have a mid-grey, a navy and a blue.

Not many summer wool options in brown. Crispaire has some nice shades. Cape Breeze also has a couple. None in New Fine Worsted.

Dugdale has a collection called Duffin & Peace, which is poly-wool, 8 Oz. It wears quite cool. It has a nice brown.
