Hi, I would like to bespeak an oatmeal coloured POW country suit. I have considered the following. My concerns are as follows;
Dugdale - 9468 - BROWN with RED OVERCHECK - Prince of Wales (14 Oz)
Dugdale - 9726 - Grey Prince of Wales with Red Overcheck (12-13 Oz)
P&B Universal - 74142 15/16oz
From experience, the suit may make up lighter than the swatch might suggest, so I need help in selecting one with enough colour saturation, allowing that a milled finish may reflect less light.
The 9726, going by price, seems to be higher quality, and is still of reasonable weight...is this correct?
The 9468 has a warm rich colour, but seems to have an unrefined finish, perhaps a bit too rustic?
The PB sample I have seen seems to be more colourful and less washed out looking than the others...the weight is good at 15/16oz, ( which I have not yet experienced ), but this bunch seems to have a reputation for threads unravelling - should this concern me?
Taking the above into account, if anyoue has experienced these issues, or had a suit made from any of these cloths..or can suggest some other cloth worth considering...I would be grateful to hear your advice? Thanks, Rowly.
Country suiting POW - help me choose?
