I came across this Gieves and Hawkes RTW jacket in the November issue of Esquire (image at the bottom). I am very interested in this particular type of fabric. The caption calls it simply as 'gray wool'. Would anyone be able to recognize this kind of fabric. Is it something classic or something new? I like the way it drapes on the arm, it looks solid and heavy, and i specially like the grainy, salt and peppery texture to it. I would assume the thread it is woven from would have regular white 'bubbles' in it, just a guess. I hope it is not flat in person. Would anyone know which mills produce similar qualities, or a tailor/book where i could view this type of fabric at. I have also contacted G&H, hoping to get a reply next week.
I'm afraid the scan does not really show it that well. Its on page 161 in the November edition of the Esquire.
Thanks, Oliver
