Hello all, considering commissioning some trousers in dugdale fine new worsted line. Specially their mid gray, light gray and cream colors. Does anyone happen to have them as well as minnis fresco? Mostly going with NFW to save some coin but if it’s inferior in quality, feel or ability to maintain its crease then I’ll go for fresco. also, are most lighter fabrics (light gray and cream) see through? Wondering if lining your the knee is enough to avoid this issue.
Thanks!
To the best of my knowledge NFW is a robust plain weave, and not an open high-twist like fresco. I believe they are one of the fabrics recommended (particularly the greys) in The Armoury's "Building a Trouser Wardrobe" post.
