Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

[brax]

Ulster has a light pink shade named “blush” that I use for shirting. I probably have a length in my unfunded liability pile. It is not for sale but can take a photo if you are curious about the shade.

I may have asked this before, but I'll ask again since the hunt continues -- has anyone found an extremely light, dusty pink linen? Solid, no herringbone, just a plain light pink linen. Can't find this anywhere. Ideally suitable for trousers as well. I do understand why such a thing would not be popular...

check caccioppoli or ariston books, italians def have it somewhere, piacenza may have it mixed with some silk

 

[MrFingers]

Has anyone here tried dugdales or ethomas cavalry twill? I only have experience with vbc

Anyone know the fabric weight of crombie cloth? I know they produced for lots of different brands and that they were heavyweight, but does anybody know the actual fabric weight?

I am doing a small run of a Minnis worsted wool heavy mockleno circa 400g. It is one that I have been experimenting with Minnis for some time. The ones in their bunch are 300g. This exclusive heavy version is woven with beefier yarns, has a sportier texture and uses two blue yarns to achieve a navy shade that is in-between what is offered in the bunch. The porosity is maintained and it will drape much better than the already awesome 300g version. ETA Feb/Mar 2023. Please PM if you're interested.

Damn you! I am about to receive my three-piece suit in the 300g version. Now how will I be able to sleep at night? I am kidding of course. I highly recommend the cloth.

Baird Mcnutt has a light pink linen at 228 GSM in the Milltown collection https://www.bairdmcnuttirishlinen.com/product/milltown-light-pink

Minnis should work great. I have one in the 10oz, and also a very soft-tailored one in Spring Ram mock Leno which is none too heavy.

how does it compare to the dugdale mockleno, any idea? its a bit heavier (340g) than the stock but lighter than your proposition

i have a jacket in the dugdale mock leno and considering yours but there are some questions in the room that need answers

It is beefier than the Dugdale mockleno and is made up two blue yarns.

received some cloth from bateman ogden a couple of days ago for myself, a navy hopsack 430g from their apollo range and a trouser length of endurance, high twist cloth:

Can anyone show me what a windowpane like this would look like on a made up jacket? I like the idea of it, but I'm not sure if the brown would overpower the white or if it's too muted (attaching another image of a jacket I particularly like). Does anyone have suggestions for a cloth for this—a flannely, chalk stripe? Thanks!

 

[xizenta]

Does anyone have any picture of Drapers Ascot 18052 and 18056 made up? These are the 4-ply in charcoal and gray/brown. Thinking of ordering them into a 6x1 suit.

 

[MrFingers]

Anyone happen to have the dugdale wool cavalry twill in charcoal (4219) made up in trousers? Was considering the mid gray but decided to get the charcoal instead. I just want to make sure they don’t look “black” in real life, the swatch online appears to show the slightest bit of “speckling” and I’d really want this to be a deep charcoal but I know sometimes they tend to render themselves as just black
