Why not the Minnis 520, beloved by the SF iGents?

Also, who makes tobacco fresco? - that sounds very interesting.

Pic of it? not sure what M520 is...

Same comment as the AF blue - LH house fabric likely made my woodhouse.

520 is a very nice Minnis AF blue but it's 9/10 whereas those Wodehouses are a lot lighter.

That tobacco fresco does sound sweet. I recently got a swatch of the Minnis 0520 and I like it. It reminds me of the LH house fresco/hopsack 1995 in that it's sort of a lighter shade of navy and looks like it's got several colors of blue threads in it. I will probably join the crowd and get a suit made of it also.

I'd love a fresco weave in a mid-brown / cream houndstooth but the fabric has eluded me for years.

Thanks.

Sorry - don't have a pic handy, but I suggest you check it out - beautiful stuff.

I missed the 520 because it appears pretty dark on the Huddersfield web site.

But here it in in real life, courtesy this very forum.

Thinking about having a summer jacket made up in either the blue or red (linen/wool blend) and maybe a pair of pants in the solid dark brown. Thoughts?

I know I've gone over the deep end when an image like that ^ makes me very happy. But it does.
