Unfunded Liabilities: a/k/a The Cloth Thread

Ah, that makes me feel better then. Kind of confused on how three silk swatches could weigh two pounds, but who knows -- maybe there was a lot of important bubble wrapping I'm forgetting.

I believe they basically choose the highest one. Either physical or dimensional weight.

That is correct. Dimensional weight can be higher than actual weight

Mohair mocklinon(50% mohair hopsack) seems perfect for blazer suits. My spouse had one made up, it's softer and more casual, I highly recommend giving it a look.

I saw this book today. The 10oz hopsack looks terrific. Only three colors, but very useful ones. Looks like it would play well in the mid/lightweight Fresco sandbox. Travel suit (or all-day charcoal suit for cool days and stuffy rooms)?

I've had some Baird McNutt linen shirts. Only in white though, which is the easiest color to get right in linen. That said, they were nice.

Looks like Dugdale. When someone quotes a post, there should be a green arrow up top, just right of the name. Clicking that will take you to the post.

The Mocklino hopsack is made by Halstead. Same quality and weave. I am not sure if it's OK for pants though I might try one sometime.

The Halstead ones are lighter, at least those you can get through Pepperlee. The heavier stuff they do for Dugdale is more interesting. I will have a suit made up and will report how it turns out.

You are right, I was mainly looking at the gray, which does not seem to be there.

It is a new bunch, successor of Cape Breeze (but includes some Cape Breeze). New bunch not yet on web.
