Alas, unhappy with the wrinkle resistance of some light gray odd trousers recently made up, I inquired through my tailor what Huddersfield might recommend. (I wasn't around for Brisa). A fellow at Huddersfield assured that Dugdale Bros. 8/9 oz, # 8958, 8959, 8960, for a few examples, had almost no wrinkle issues. In their "New Fine Worsted Collection" book. So I was wondering whether there is any experience among you with this particular Dugdale cloth?

Having been a fan of Dugdales 110's for a couple of years, I took a look at both the Luxury Lightweight and NFW books during my last trip to Cad & the Dandy. I already have a half-lined blazer in the Luxury Lightweight which I can confirm stays looking very crisp - the NFW looks and feels heavier but I suspect it will wear only slightly warmer. It feels much nicer too.

I'm about the pull the trigger on a New Fine Worsted suit as a result...

Thank you, much appreciated. I will keep considering and may eventually give the NFW a go.

Wrinkling has as much to do with the cut (if not more) as the cloth.
