Brisbane Moss is the premiere maker of cords and moleskins in the UK. They used to have a store where they sold closeouts. Otherwise they sell to the trade only. If there were enough interest from the LL members, I could inquire about making a group purchase or some facility for the members.

The 3101X and GS20 are the heaviest weight 8 wale cord they are showing on the site. I am sure they have heavier.

You could buy from the distributors but they normally only take into stock the standard colors: beige, whiskey, olive etc I don't think any of them carry the unusual colors.

I saw a swatch card from W Bill that had a nice variety of colors (beyond the standard earth tones) and weights.
