Does anybody have any remaining stock of Minnis #0305 (from the older flannel book)?

Also: any sources for a bold, deeply etched navy serge (worsted) ? Not the more frequently seen fine ribbed serge.

Is 305 the navy or dark navy/midnight...i have 3 metres of the latter. For the serge ask AW Hainsworth for samples. They have the thicked ribbed serge.

From the Fox Air book?

From the Fox Air book?

Yes. Reminds me of the older toothy Minnis frescos.

Love the look of that. Been trying to get clients to order from that range but no takers yet.
It's expensive cloth as it has 150's yarns

Oh man, I would love to do that, but can't pull the trigger at the moment.

Dugdale Bros found on Ebay. Pure new wool in shade I find quite lovely. Can't wait to fund it, but firstly gotta finish the first piece

Kind of a cool look. A very healthy love child of tweed and Madras.

Thank you, I liked it because it reminded me of an old green madras sport coat from Ralph Lauren I saw years ago.

They have some other interesting colors-- the "russet" might be beautiful during Indian summer, when it gets too warm for Shetland. And there is a blue one that is a tad more conventional, but also very nice.

Yup! White Rose Sporting, if I recall correctly

Fascinating but likely insanely expensive. Crate your own tweed fabric with Huntsman.

Counting the seconds until the PermanentStyle review referencing the "good value"...

30 meters is a lot, too. Thats roughly 15 jackets or 7 suits, so either you'll be kitting out your whole family or getting jackets for your hunting club.

Dont get me wrong, its cool that this is a thing, but I'm dying to know the price. 25,000 pounds? Any guesses? Anyone know?
