Yep, as you can see the selvedge doesn't reveal a thing but it came with a J&J Minnis tag and the little do-dads a tailor may sew into the coat.

Hmmm, a conspicuous absence of stripes is evident.

Sure thing. It is http://www.hfw-huddersfield.co.uk/ha...tki=183533269? 'Quality 0304' from the flannel book. Weight is 400g. Minnis call it air force blue, but on my order it came out as 'dark air force blue'. I had a swatch before I ordered it of course. Here's a picture of the swatch. It is spectacular in person.

Excellent. They sent me about 30 in the post free of charge (UK to Australia even by standard airmail would have been a few bob).

Just email them and ask for them to be sent. The swatches are about 8cm by 12cm and give you a very good idea of the nature of the cloth as well as the colour.
