Fabric for a Navy Blazer (My first bespoke project)

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?

[Costi]

I think so. Heavy flannel drapes beautifully (particularly good looking for trousers) and does not have a sheen at all - on the contrary. One day you WILL find the right one. We all do...

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

Serge is another classic choice, which from the right source can have good texture and color.

Try the Harrisons Oyster book.

My vote would also be for a hopsack. It's plain, but with just enough surface texture to offer a nice contrast to flannel trousers.
