I think it’s called Aruba. I should specify it’s linen chambray and denim

Dear @konstantis,

Re: Acorn chambray

Denim 300 Indigo

I requested a sample, and it's great; a post-lockdown project, probably for early spring.

Best,

Dimitris

Hi Dimitri , did you ordered direct from them ?

Hi Konstanti,

I haven't yet, but I will. It is a very nice fabric, not flannel-y like the Caccioppoli ones.

Unfortunately, the swatch came just few days before our first lock-down, so the project was frozen.

Best,

Dimitris

I have a western shirt in that fabric

Thank you Dimitri.

You are very welcome!

It's lightweight for this particular iteration, but since you prefer it like this, it's OK for everyone else!

Cheers,

The material feels dense in person though that could be just me

Does anyone know where to purchase chambray and denim fabrics suitable for MTM shirts ? Thanks.

Permanent Style has some as well. I got a length of the sold out chambray. They have some dressier denim as well.

^ with that said, have you noticed a change in quality of the same cloths from the same mills over the years? That is, if you always made stuff from, say mill XYZ and cloth # 12345, have you ordered that same cloth a few years later and felt it was different? Of course there could be some slight variation in color due to dyes, etc., but I wonder if the wool itself could differ, too, based on what dww wrote about wool quality.

Yes this has happened but it’s so rare and infrequent , wouldn’t say it’s an issue to watch for. Talking about a significant change in the look, feel and structure of the cloth.

The best way to get the old quality cloths is to go to a vintage store and buy an old suit, then give the vintage suit to your tailor and tell him or her to make a new suit out of this old suit.

Viola. Guaranteed Old World quality.
