Respectfully, that looks nothing like the Minnis posted in this thread.Originally Posted by Manton
You're right, it's less jagged and potentially even chunkier than the Minnis. Any ideas about what this one is?

To get things back to houndstooth, this is from Harrisons. It's a plain worsted, nothing flannel about it, from their Fine Classics bunch.
It is very like the Lesser posted a page ago and can do funny things with your eyes if you look at it a certain way.

Nein, 0327 is a woollen. The number is from the Flannel bunch and they're all woollens.Originally Posted by AndrewRogers
Thank you.
06xx is from the Classic bunch, which is a true 13 oz worsted either with a hard finish or nap (flannel-esque) You can actually see the word worsted on your swatch of 0656 above.Originally Posted by AndrewRogers
Hah! Excuse me while I get my hat...
...tight fit.

That would be such a strange suit. I think many would have trouble looking at it and figuring it out.

I tried rotating the picture right, but only one dimension of permutation just isn't up to Rubik's grade.

i got this one yesterday...not sure if i am keeping it. it fits me well enoughOriginally Posted by HRoi
See, this is quite a different suit, it has a much darker effect. Again, I would get the black and white as a jacket or in worsted cashmere as a special suit purely for certain social occasions. And, I'm talking cashmere turtleneck or polo collar, not woven shirt and silk tie.

Don't know who makes this but I bought what Oxxford had left of this in navy and one in black/grey, less contrast than this picture. The cloth is a 10/11 ounce, wool/cashmere blend. Everyone that bought it in blue, bought it in black and everyone that bought it in black came back and bought the blue except one client. It s a great cloth and makes a beautiful jacket.
