Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

not yet. Within the next 6 months or so. I can’t wait.

think there will be a solid navy in the bunch? a fairly pronounced ('steep') serge / twill ?

i was thinking mid to heavy weight. Any thoughts ?

They have one that is about 16" and a good all-rounder. The 21oz is what the London Lounge loves to do, and that is also quite excellent once you've made the commitment.

I would be interested in a 21 oz.

I would definitely think so. It appears to be a substantial line they have been working on for a while.

Another thing to explore, if you can-- LL gets some really wonderfully complex weaves done. No idea if that is one objective spec that can be compared to (>=) their garden-variety Ettrick, but see what they can offer in terms of quality.

It's funny, I've reached out to Michael from London Lounge. I was trying to learn more about their cloth names/weaves on the London Lounge website. It seems to be rather exclusive.

The Ettrick is one of my favorite weaves. Just not a fan of the stock drab color.

You can join LL. But Michael likes to have secrecy for his recipe book.

I have joined. I'm certainly not looking to steal any ideas. It would just be interesting to see some descriptions of the cloth. Weight/Worsted/Flannel etc.

They have interesting names: "Wabi Sabi, etc." Difficult to decipher for new members.'

Not sure how to go about ordering. He said to "contact the mill"

I was very much interested in a reverse chalk stripe grey cloth. Absolutely beautiful and difficult to find.

There is a post where he lists some series that have bits left. Not sure if you email him or the mill.

Who do you contact to order the cloth?

Talk to Kerry at Lovat.

For all the mohair nerds out there, seems that Halstead (assuming I am reading their post correctly) is offering up their Solaro cloth in a mohair blend...

I've always contacted Michael first when ordering LL Club cloth, and paid him. He then arranges shipment with the mill. I pay him via Paypal.

Doesn't Solaro already have a bit of a sheen to it? Mohair would seemingly add more...

This feels like potentially going Martin Sheen -> Charlie Sheen.
