Almost by accident (they have terrible distribution), I found that Fox does an excellent line of luxury summer fabrics. No idea of quality (90s, etc) or compostion (although I suspect lambswool). It is, however, very promising and I have one in the works for delivery in June.

Sounds very interesting.
What sort of weight?

Well, they really don't say. But it is around 9oz, with a very see-through weave.

Worsteds? I have some of their ultralight flannel.

So far no reports available on street viability, but the final fitting was very encouraging. The charcoal POW with blue overcheck is very classic, BTW.

After seeing and feeling the beautiful cloth Fox turned out for the Cloth Club (my tailor was also impressed) I'm really quite tempted to visit their mill (it's not far from where I live). So, about this 9 oz material, is it an actual tropical weave? Or is it a light worsted flannel? The latter sounds both more likely and more interesting.
