Sourcing Dormeuil Tonik/tonik 2000 or similar: How and from whom?

[GradSchooler]

Hello all. Wondering if anyone could suggest how I would go about purchasing fabric to take to a tailor. I'm looking to get a midnight blue tonik (or equivalent) for a summer suit, but don't know where to start. I'd appreciate any help or directions people might be willing to offer. Thanks!

Midnight blue for a summer suit? Let alone for a suit in general...

It's for night wear, I have light summer day suits. It gets extremely humid here in Kingston. Even at night it can be 35 C with 100% humidity. All my dark suits are all-season/winter weight and I'm getting tired of showing up for dinner at fancy restaurants all sweaty and damp.

For the price of Tonik I'd just recommend H. Lesser Tropical. It comes in every solid anyone would want.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into H. Lesser. Any opinion on this John Foster? http://www.johnfosterdirect.com/fine...etails/en/1606

Can't answer your question but would assume the cloth is $$$$$$

I don't know how much it costs retail but IIRC NSM charged me 150 euro per meter for the 90/10 mohair/wool.
