Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

[CorozoButton]

Hmmm... looks a bit designer-ish, unless it is amazingly well made. Would a lighter-weight Shetland serve the same purpose only better?

Thanks. I'm after a bit of a softer handle than I tend to find with Shetland. I wonder if part of the designer look is the way it's been made up and displayed (gorge height, throat latch, shirt/accessories).

Just thinking that it’s something women might like to wear, or that would plausibly be made to upholster a sofa. Not all the way— that jacket actually looks OK. But it is not a classic.

Personally not a fan of that fabric.

 

[CorozoButton]

Ok, thanks! Think I'll stick to a more conventional Glen Check.

Flannel or Saxony, perhaps.

I'm thinking to buy an fabric from Anglo-Italian for a winter jacket, hesitating between a wool-alpaca green and a wool-cashmere green barleycorn. Do you have any experience with them? If one knows with what mill they work I'm curious about it.

Been obsessed with gun club checks. Fox sport jacketing fabric off to Antonio.

That's beautiful. Is that black or dark brown? Did you go with patch pockets? I am thinking of commissioning something in a similar fabric. Thanks.

Taylor and Lodge sent me their new 2080 worsted flannels bunch. The bunch was previously limited to basic grays and blues. Look at these autumnal colors. I ordered trousers in the light fawn. The herringbones would make a great suit.

A couple of years ago, they had a book of Lesser-ish worsted floating about, which included some Golden Bale patterns. Is that still in existence, and did you see that? I'd hoped to take a closer look, but it was only in one SR shop and then seems to have vanished.

Must be their A309 Archive Flannels.

The ones I saw were not flannels. Analogous to greatest hits from the Lesser 9/11/13 oz books.

Maybe some are still available at Harrison's Burley.

@Concordia I think some of the cloths you mention are under their Iconic collection that you can see in their website.

Some gems in their collections, like these tasty 4-ply.
