Is the maker of London Lounge an Italian mill?

It's written: Lovat. An Italian Mill would never weave such an insane fabric.

Edited to add:
Is it an 100% cashmere overcoating fabric, or a cashmere-mix? Harrisons of Edinburgh above call the whole bunch of the posted fabric "Cashmere Overcoating", still, this is a 100% wool.

I'm scared to ask how much a 36oz pure cashmere LL fabric would run...certainly would put the cost of the Fox Bros overcoating I was looking at in a better light...
The price of the bespoke coat itself I guess. There are some options at Harrison's in the area of heavy weight coatings. You should look at it and they are quite responsive to samples requests. Fox is clearly overpriced since 2 years.
Johua Ellis is reasonably priced. I wish they had more adventurous designs in their stock supported range. Or worsted cashmere. Afaik their jacketings are only woollen cashmere at around 320g.
yea, I'll definitely consider all options, I just like the char-navy color in the Fox Exmoor book since my only suits are charcoal and navy I think that would work out well...but if its the difference of a couple hundred dollars then I'll probably look for alternatives.
That is top coat weight, 500 grams. Would like to see made up as one
Dear gentlemen,
I began this sartorial journey some time ago by perusing suiting bunches for suits to be made, the jacketing bunches for jackets (now called sport coats), and the overcoating bunches for topcoats / overcoats; the era of simplicity!
For some time now, I observe jacketing cloth to be used as a suiting cloth (with all unsurprising consequences in the trousers' future condition), and overcoating cloth not only to be used as a jacketing fabric, but also accompanied with "authority" opinions negating the cloth's purpose as designed and produced by the mill itself!
In order to avoid confusion in the younger generation here, I am just quoting the position of one of the most eminent (by profession) members here, posted in November of 2019:
Certainly, personal choices are respected and not to be challenged, yet, if a less seasoned-in-the-bespoke-arena gentleman needs an objective guidance, is this not a place that he should have a chance to find it?
Some food for thought.
Cheers,
Dimitris
