Looks great. Does anyone know if Fox Air cloth would work as jacket-only?

I'm looking for some patterned cloth that's crsip and without the shabbiness of Linen.

For sure some of them work as sport coat, I have FA 7 as a sport coat:

FA7 : Plain Weave Grey, Black and Walnut Gunclub Check

This cloth is a light Grey, Black and Walnut classic Gunclub Check. Fox Air is a tropical suiting cloth with a crisp, dry handle. Woven using a 2-ply up-twisted worsted wool to achieve a crease resistant cloth that is the ideal travel companion. The merino wool, woven in plain weave, will...

thank you for your comment. Do you have any images you can recommend?

For a light grey suit? Tom Cruise in Collateral, or Roger Sterling in Mad Men.

As for the sheen, each fabric is different so you’d have to judge it in person.

If you decide not to go with mohair, H&S Crispaire has a beautiful light grey that I chose to make my version of Tom Cruise’s Collateral suit. I prefer Crispaire to other open weave fabrics like Fresco…. But again, I’m a minority in that regards on Styleforum.

Nice Patterns and plains from the new fox air the FA2-44 and 45 probably remain the most popular melanges but I’d love a suit in the FA2-7 and FA2-15

Nice patterns indeed. Looks like Fox hasn't yet added this book to their website...

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.

Not much interest in the brown flannel so I will remove it. Grey one is almost there. Also offering this RAF blue melange woollen flannel 400g which is getting better traction than brown. See attached pics. The second pic shows it next to a standard navy flannel. Please PM if interested. Thanks in advance.
