Vintage Suitings: Discussions of, and sourcing modern equivalents, etc.
Thanks for your input, HBK, and you state as I thought myself. 24oz isn't quite right. I did contact Fox Bros (not Merchant Fox), but the customer service immediately directed me to the Merchant Fox overcoating fabrics, which I, obviously, already have seen. I did send an email now and...- HimmelsBlau

Thanks, I did that yesterday but no reply yet.. we'll see. A pity you can not see any pictures of their fabrics on the web Is there anybody else who has got any other ideas that might fit the bill here? What is your preferred overcoat weight? 25oz and upward? This is truly a beautiful...- HimmelsBlau

Thank you! Or well, I guess it's the tailor we should give our thanks to! ;) Yes, I find it to resemble that as well. Although I had it made with double pleats on the pants, which is more 40s, but I guess it all blends together when you make a suit. Originally, my thought was also in making...- HimmelsBlau

I had this suit made up last autumn, it's made to measure and made of a navy heavy 21 oz fabric from Harrisons of Edinburgh. I originally intended to make this suit with a similar, but even heavier, fabric I inherited from my great grandfather, but it wasn't enough for my height. He was quite a...- HimmelsBlau
