Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

Confirmed with fox on the phone that tailors with Fox accounts should be seeing the new Fox Air books by end of this month

Has anyone tried a mohair/linen blend?

No, but I just stumbled in this one, looks really nice.

Has anyone seen this linen W Bill cloth? Is it a tobacco brown?

I think Eric Jensen uses that fabric a lot. Browse through his instagram profile and you'll find more examples.

Thank you. That's exactly the color that I'm looking for.

I don't think this has been discussed here, but seems like there's an updated Fox Air bunch coming soon:

Anyone seen this updated bunch in the wild?

As a note: the tailor where I saw the book this week said that Fox Air is much preferable to City. Looks aside, the City is difficult to handle and hates being pressed.

My Fox city order is going to be my tailor's first experience with the fox books - hope it behaves well for him!

Do report back.

I’m doing a run of these two discontinued 400g Minnis woollen flannel. Mid grey and brown.

Mid grey was last offered as a special run about 5 years ago ago. A number of guys have asked for a re-run. There’s some of the original yarn left for a run of the brown one so I will try to fill that one also.

Please PM if you’re interested. Thanks.

Hi gents,
This is a long shot probably, but anyway...
I'm looking for a fabric similar to this.
It's a mid-weight cloth in forest green (the green is darker IRL), with rust window pane and blue highlights.
I've looked at Fox, Harrisons, Lovatt, Huddersfield, Magee & Abraham Moon. Found some similar fabrics, but still looking.
Can anyone suggest some others to check out?

The grey one is very needed indeed, just had to trash a pair of trousers made from that very old Minnis flannel. Served for 12 years or so

Pepper Lee or one of their brands has a good twist fabric, maybe you find something to your liking there

I haven’t seen a miss from standeven. It’s not as well marketed. But, they do good stuff.

Do people have suggestions for good green tweeds?
Currently looking at Huddersfields' Alsport / Lovat (Kirkton) and Porter & Harding books, but I'm open to any suggestions.

My current favorite pick is Lovat Kirkton 503:

I like the darker shade but I'm open to anything that has a slightly darker or deeper green hue to it or something with more pattern, like a glen check.
