It's possible that they have stopped production of some fabrics. I'll go back and check my swatches, but I think the ones apropos posted are the ones that Harrisons sent to me recently.

Veryyy nice!

Does moonbeam make up well for trousers too? Or should it be mostly used for jacketing?

Now some of these might work as DB jackets, if you're allergic to pure tweed in that style. Although Glorious 12th probably better suited to the multiple overlaps.

You can have pants made,they are just not going to be durable and/or may not keep their shape well.

FWIW, Raphael (the NY tailor) believes Moonbeam trousers should make up quite well.

I might proceed with this experiment.

Either way I think I will have enough suits that this won't be a large issue.
