Thanks a bunch, guys - I will keep you posted on how things turn out.

Costi -
Thanks for the info. The same is not true of hopsack though, right? I may try a flannel if I can find the right one...how do you find the drape on flannel? Also it seems to have kind of a sheen sometimes...have I just been looking at the wrong flannels?

Thanks so much, guys. Soren: Could you link me discussion to the RAF hopsack? I searched, but found only you asking about it in the Fall 2011 Cloth Club thread. Rodes: I think 13 oz is about what I need. Is it a bad idea to go with horn buttons on a blazer? Does everyone go with metal buttons to uph...

Gentlemen, I apologize for a n00b question that may or may not have been asked a thousand times in this forum before (although I did do a quick search and didn't turn up anything exactly right).
