Need a mid-weight olive

[Will]

I had been thinking of commissioning a nine ounce olive cashmere and cotton suit for suburban wear on these Northern California 70 degree fall and early spring days. Scabal has unfortunately sold out of the cloth.

I already have a brown one. Anyone have a suggestion for a comparable cloth in the same color or am I relegated to navy?

Look to Gorina in Spain Their "California" Gabardines (370grams) have some distinct olives Their middle weight flannels "Franela" (450grams) have an excellent choice of olives mixed with grey hues www.gorina.es Its in Spanish English speaking contact person in Anna Duran e-mail: duran (at) gorina.es She does speak English over the phone and they price their stuff in U.S. dollars First purchase may require bank money transfer, but I purchased 24 meters of 4 different cloths for my second purchase, and thus allowed the use of a credit card By the way, since when is 9oz a middle weight cloth. This is tissue paperweight...Palm Beach style summer only

Thank you Michael. Unfortunately this was to be a Chan suit and they don't do Gorina.

I am quite happy with my brown 9 ounce cashmere and cotton tissue paper on days when a 14 ounce worsted would have me sweating through my shirt. If only Scabal had olive...
