Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

I’m really excited to have this made. Fitting in 1 week. It’s the lightest grey sharkskin in the Lesser LGB book. Bloody expensive but I haven’t seen a light grey like this one in the other books of Harrison’s, Lesser or Smiths.

didnt know the LGb bunch had a 13oz that sounds like its gonna be excellent. Whats the hand vs the classic 13oz book?


Sidebar - has anyone had anything made from the worsted flannel from Fox? That chocolate brown looks good but I had reservations on the weight - it’ll be my lightest fabric yet

GB is more of a Super 100s feel. But still substantial. Not what it used to be 40 years ago, but still pretty nice.

Dugdale has some light grey P&P also, if you want to economize.

Hi all, would anyone happen to have similar cloth/bunch suggestions to this:
Greatly appreciated as always! Thanks!

I have a Lesser 303 in 400gr, so pretty much the same line I guess. It is elegant and formal, but I find it lacks the weight I desire by 100gr.

A slightly softer hand that their non-LGB equivalents based on the samples. No experience yet with the suit made. Next order might be a non LGB Harrisons Oyster of the same weight so as to compare.

the 16oz wouldve been your baby - sadly you might have to chop off your arm for one (or go for the askokey exclusive)

Askokey is doing exclusive cloth runs these days?

Was hoping he would reproduce the R&T Herringbone.

Is Lovat producing Bard still? Anywhere to view their collection?

Yes, the bunch is limited but still produced.

London Lounge has an open subscription for Dark Navy Piuma. The lighter weight version for summer. I am very much looking forward to it
