Hey guys,

I'm currently in the market to have a Made To Measure suit made with a blue Prince of Wales Fabric, I've found a REDA one (188112/23 Contemporary Classic) but I like my panel lines being more brighter than the REDA one. I've tried searching Italian Mills but I can't find any swatch books for most of them and the ones I have found, I can't find any blue Prince of Wales.

So if anyone knows off any with it being in a blue and the panel lines being slightly brighter than the REDA, would be much appreciated if you would comment down below the number for that fabric.

Thanks

I wouldn't be surprised if people here would know the answer but wouldn't your tailor be the better person to ask that specific question?

Not all tailors have the same fabrics, being that each season changes and they always get the latest season fabric. I’m asking for past seasons to current. If I ask a tailor, most likely they won’t be able to tell me about any previous years ones because they don’t have it. So in this case, asking a tailor wouldn’t help.

The tailors I have worked with usually go to great length and try to source the fabric that I want, hence my suggestion. But I hope some other member here can help you.
