Trini, if you're still interested I'm gong to be placing an order with them soon- you could save on shipping and brokerage.

There is an old mafia saying: "Fish get caught because they opened their mouths....so keep your mouth shut.

I consider some of the English classics to be Flannels. Their are not the traditional woollen flannel...and I would not call them a worsted flannel...but I use the term my Greek tailor uses (and I have to translate the term he uses)...so I called it shaved flannel. #9448 from Dugdale is a flannel to me...perhaps JeffreyD can better explain if he actually has this sample in his hand

Ha, you're a good sport Ay329! I'm actually wearing a chalk-stripe full milled cloth from Bateman & Ogden as I'm typing this (I normally post on SF in the nude, as an internet doctor who trained at Easter Island University told me it's good for my nerves). Very nice, bit of an olde worlde appearance to the cloth but very English. Works well with chalkstripes as the 'nap' or 'fuzziness' helps to soften the stripe and gives that slightly worn look too it. As you may be aware; we don't like things to look too new here in Merry Olde England (emphasis on the word Olde not Merry) These cloths can look a bit flannel(y) especially the glen plaids. Nice stuff.

I love the phrase "shaved flannel." As you may know, I use Enzo in LA, and as English isn't his native language, sometimes the terms he uses sounds like what happens when you run an English-to-Italian-to-English translation. One time he started talking about the "canyon," and after a while I figured out he was talking about the gorge.
