Yes I saw the pictures, that was what got me looking into that fabric ?That is a fantastic cloth for a jacket. Salvo made that for a San Francisco customer.
UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

This would actually be my top choice... Any thoughts?

Yes sir, will do right now.Too plain and lightweight
Tell Frank that polyester is made from oil, which is made from dinosaur bones, a natural material.
Update on my commission with Frank. Apparently he found out that the lambswool taupe had polyester blended into the fabric. He ? some pieces to make sure and told me to pick another fabric. Now the new fabric is this 14-15oz light taupe with a check pattern. What do y'all think? Another option was heritage fox flannel in navy blue. I wasn't going to pick some 24oz tweed...

Yes, I messaged Frank about waiting for Fox to reopen their mills and getting a fabric that I would like. If not, I'll drive up to Syracuse andwhat are you looking for color/weight/texture-wise?
I have two swatches from the Kirkton range posted above and they’re really nice. Moon has some nice, lighter weight Shetland tweeds as well.
Personally, I think I’d be a bit penny wise/pound foolish to pick a cloth that you don’t like for a bespoke jacket just because he only has limited stuff on hand...
Please share insights on fabrics. I would like to know more options! Im still a n00b.Unless you are in a particular rush to get the jacket, I would wait for Fox and others to open up. Get a cloth you are really excited about. I don’t care for the options you listed, except for the NMWA cloth, which i have seen in person and it does look better IRL. Even then, I think you can find better options.

For colder months, just a brown Moon tweed herringbone sc and a navy mini pattern wool sc.What do you have in your current wardrobe?

Warmer months Minnis Tobacco Linen, Fox Air Brown gunclub check, navy hopsack.
Ongoing/Upcoming projects: Zegna 14milMil14 green brown glen-plaid, rust Harris Tweed.
So I was thinking the one being made by Frank is going to be for the cooler months, since he like heavier fabrics. I was thinking a lighter shade of brown since I like to wear darker trousers.
