Have a 17 oz tweed coat being made but have limited heavy fabrics available for trousers to pair with it.

1). what books have 17 oz + English flannels?
2). what books have 17 oz + English cavalry twills?
3). what books have 17 oz + English worsteds?
4). any other suggestions about heavy English cloth that pairs well with tweed sporscoats - whipcord/moleskin?


Only want English or Scottish cloth,
and must be dense and tightly woven.
Good old school cloth.
Cloth is needed for multiple trousers so it can be paired with tweed coats.

Any man here know about these things?

Some cav twills in this book.

Oh yes,
had forgotten about that book.
Have had things made from it before,
good old sturdy English cloth.
Asked Thomas Mahon to make a video on that book.
More people need to know about it.
How many options for a hefty bone english twill trouser??? None, only in this book above.

Also found this book again for flannels,
but only a few suitable for pairing with tweed coats.
17 - 18 oz Fox Bros flannel:

Very difficult to find the old school heavy cloth.
So limited.

Standeven Heritage Twist cavalry twill is fantastic. Extremely dense and sturdy cloth.
