Sweet. Been wanting too see what this looks like. Suppose to be similar to the Brisa POW.

No doubt LK is one of the inspirational member in the forum. Absolutely in love with the fabric.

Any suggestions for a camel hair in a lighter shade?

 

[Eustace Tilley]

I have a W. Bill camel hair Ulster and am very happy w/ it. They have a fairly comprehensive range of colors / shades.

Harrisons has some lighter shades in a camel hair/wool blend too. But W Bill has quite an extensive collection in varying shades.

There's another lesser known Scottish weaver who weaves overcoat fabrics and I distinctly recall seeing lighter shades in camel colour. Isn't one of those large merchants, but produces very good stuff nonetheless, and there are cards of swatches at quite a number of good English tailors. Reasonably priced too. Name eludes me now, but I'll update when it comes back.

 

[bboysdontcryy]

Anybody has any idea whom might have woven this fabric? Or what accounts for the slubby texture?

Looks like linen?

 

[terrorsquad]

Looks like a mixture of linen and silk to me.And I know Drapers has a book that has something similar
