Glad to hear it!
Any pictures of it by chance? Either worn, on a hanger, pretty much anything.
is this the 'negroni' tweed?

No. Different colors. I’ve seen a bunch of the Negroni tweed.is this the 'negroni' tweed?
I react allergic to purple hues in blues, so relate to you. My WB dark navy certainly does not have any such thing. I think I have the 09 final.
The 2-ply/21 micron Draper’s is not that robust. If that’s what you’re looking for I’d go with the 4-ply, especially for trousers.Anyone with experience with these 2? Both are 2 ply, I suspect the fox will hold its shape better, but ascot will be lighter?
Maybe the answer is the fox air and get a 4ply. I really like the fox air suit I have. But, I’m thinking just odd trousers.
FA15 : Beige Melange Plain Weave
This cloth is a plain weave on a base of beige melange with ecru to give a lively appearance to the colour tone of the cloth. 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...foxflannel.com

I just totally disagree with the idea that a gray tweed sport coat isn't versatile – a gray herringbone or donegal jacket should be great with denim or basically any darker trousers that aren't gray

If you know the Fox Air works, go for that.
Just ordered the double chalk stripe fox flannel - maybe some of you want to order it as well

Looks like these guys would be the 4 ply version
My concern is color - I’m looking for a summer equivalent of a gray flannel trouser. I thought about gray fresco, but I think grays can be a bit too cold for spring / summer. Whereas, a beige has a warmer undertone to it.
Of course, looking at the fabrics makes me want to order a suit in the fabric. Haha
Looks nice. Seems awfully pricey for flannel no?
Am I missing something? Fox, retail is 220£ / meter. LL is closer to 160-180£Take a look at the weight and tell me where I can something equivalent nowadays. Yes, price is high, but not as high as LL, for instance.

But I haven’t purchased either in a while. Both are a tad expensive for me. I just had a chalk stripe made in a vintage Harrison’s, from back when fox made for Harrison’s. It’s great. It was my tailor’s stock though.
I’m sitting on an old Taylor & lodge lumbs golden bale gray chalk stripe. And I like the db so much, I’m thinking about having that made as a db (plan was sb), but we’ll see in the fall.
But, it’s truly a beautiful fabric with a great weight. Perhaps I should consider it. I thought about it on the initial drop.
But opted not to, my problem is I’d use the same tailor I already have a navy chalkstripe from - is there room for a second navy db chalkstripe?

Has anyone had reason to try Harris Tweed of Hebrides? I know there are a lot of individual weavers who can put their own stamp on things, but I was wondering if this outlet was better than others at the moment. Their website wound up on my Facebook feed.
